In the early hours of the afternoon the Druscan group led by Andre Ashes walked in the front doors of Trident’s Peak. The keep was unguarded, Madelief van Aert, the Princess of Myrine and mother of Calias Mareno, was captured with ease and promptly taken back to Drusco as prisoner.
When The Marenos stood before Archduke Roger to air their grievances, it was Calias’ foul tongue and loose lips which led to the escalation of this conflict. Where the Princess and her Husband should have sought to guide and direct their heir as becoming of their station, it was their weakened hands that faltered, unwilling and unable to control their young lord which led to the prompt escalation and derailment of diplomacy between these two noble houses.
The terms of her release are as such:
Turn over Calais II in a prisoner exchange.
Until then, she will remain imprisoned and watched over by Renaud of Greye.
NO WORDS, BUT DEEDS.
André Ashes, Champion of Drusco
