A Blood Stained Ransom

[Yagi_Kamisama 211]

  

 

A letter had been sent to the court Viceroyalty of Hyspia in Haense, bearing no significant markings. It is likely one of their leadership would receive it and be amongst the first to open it.

When opened one would be greeted with a foul odor, alongside the following bloodstained note:
"We have taken Francisco Javier from your home. He was defeated in an attempt to undo the blizzards which so rightfully batter at your horrid city. 
With every day that passes, the wretched man shall know pain and torture. I tell you thus:
Francisco is alive. There remains yet a chance for him to return to your pathetic city (mostly) unharmed. If and only if our demands are met in their entirety:

A direct descent of your Francisco shall deliver four hundred mina to the frozen ruins of Ailmere.

They shall do this alone.

For every moment that you hesitate, you risk only further harm to your Emeritus and forefather.

Tick.. tock.."

Further investigation into the envelop would reveal three severed fingers that had been delicately tucked into it. The fingers did indeed belong to the Hyspian, Francisco Javier. 

 

OOC: Please note this letter has been sent specifically to the court of Hyspia, and is NOT a public missive.

[!] Ramona, the eldest of Francisco's grandchildren seemed to hold still. Her eyes panning over her father as he spoke of The former Viceroyals ransome. "Ill go. Ill do it." Squeeked out the young heiress. Who most certainly would not be doing such.

Upon the receipt of the letter. The Viceroy of Hyspia took no time in telling his family and his council. He then began to pen a missive to call upon his Hyspian brethren to arms. They will ride at dawn. 

 

"No one threatens my family. Let alone mi Padre."

Sofia of Hyspia soon learned of the capture and consequent ransom of her eldest brother. Words did not come as she signed the Lorraine, and began drawing up a letter to send to an old friend.

Alexander Llopis stood in shock hearing the news. "Unbelievable, the Hyspian royal family attacked! The nerve of someone to kidnap the former leader! This is loco!" Alexander soon prepared to hear the desire of his king.

((I am going to clarify that this post/letter is only visible to those in the court leadership of the Viceroyal of Hyspia, until it is shared by that upper leadership.))
Also edited post to reflect this.

Javier II, Son of the captured Francisco, said no words. Instead, he just called a few friends and told a servant to fetch his armor. From there, he prepared to go forth and serve his older Brother.

Arman de Pelear readies his weaponry, his mother's warning of  'NO VIOLENCE' ringing in his ears. That advice was locked behind a door with the key thrown away, now.
