.ღ.The Lost Princess.ღ. {No Longer Accepting}

[Mayiamaru]

Skye let out a breath. He couldn'tjust let a problem go unresolved. The girl was upset and she was also assulting the knights. Well... They assulted her first, to it was a fair trade, wasn't it? Nonetheless, he sent off his two associates, greeted the guards and followed the girl. "Miss, please wait." Skye said, catching up to her in no time at all. "I really would like to assist you in resolving this problem. May I at the very least know what drove you to attempt going into the palace?" He asked, his tone cold, yet the look in his eyes showing a hint of compassion past their dead demeanour.

Annalise heard a familiar voice, she stopped and turned around. It was the knight, again.

"What do you want?" her eyes were cold and stuck on his. Though when he replied, his tone was cold, but she could feel some compassion in it.

"Those people you are protecting are suppose to protect our family, but instead they took my parents. Just because of money, if it's money that there after, here they can have all of it!" she pulled out her pay for the month and pushed it against his chest.

"All of that means nothing to me. Their just pieces of paper to me. I want my family back." she finished her speech and didn't allow for him to reply. Slowly, she limped down the street with her burnt feet as she wanders around aimlessly. Thinking of some way to enter the palace.

Skye looked over at the girl as she continued and held the pouch. So they have resorted to taking in workers... Skye thought to himself as he watched the girl storm off. He could see that he wasn't wanted... but he could still help. He was a knight now, and he did take upon himself a vow to help all. This girl may have a debt, but his associates took away family from the girl. It was the least he could do. He id need one crucial thing though. The girl's family name. He trotted up to her and in his icy hand, he took her wrist to try to get her to stop. "Miss. One thing, please... My name is Skye Akitora. I would like to know your name." He said, holding his etiquette in check as he pressed on. He knew what it was like to lose family. This was just a little more than an obligation.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"If I needed your assistance, I would've asked for it, but as you can tell. I have not." she wasn't specifically angry at him. Annalise was more angry at the fact that he was one of them, he was a knight. They already took his family, she doesn't need anymore than that. She pulled her wrist away from his hand and continued to walk on her sore feet. The way she acted was unreasonable and she feels horrible for it, but the knights deserves it. They're nothing but power-hunger people who thinks they're higher than anyone else.

"Miss. I never implied that you required my assistance. I have seen what you have and it is my obligation as a knight to assist the villager. Whether I am within their union or not, my morals remain." Skye pressed on. He wasn't going to just let her continue and possibly get executed for trying to revolt. "Miss... Please. I know you must despise me for my position, however I did take a vow to assist and that is what I shall do." He said, nearly pleading, but his demeanour wouldn't allow it.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"Your sympathy is not needed here and it's best if we go our separate ways. Good day, Sir."
Annalise insisted and made her way inside the cafe. She hadn't eaten anything today and luckily she had some money left. Sitting down on one of the tables outside, the waiter comes out and takes her order. She asks for a cup of tea and moments later, he came back and placed it in front of her. Blowing on the hot steam, she attempts to cool it down as she takes a sip and drinks a little bit.

Skye couldn't help it if his attempts were failures. He looked down at the pouch in his hand and let out a breath. He would have to figure this out for himself. She probably just figured out that her parents were taken today. There must have been come kind of record. He turned on his heels and conjured up an idea of his own. If he couldn't get her name, maybe he could at the very least be able to use the money she gave him to pay of her family's debt. The issue still remained... What in the world was her name? His mind sparked. She works as a barmaid, so they must know. Immediately, he went to the pub.

He entered the pub, the noise louder than when he was here earlier, coaking the guitar on his shoulder and making sure not to touch anyone. The last time he was here at such a busy time, his hat was taken off for a second and someone assumed that he was a female... He stood at the counter and called for the bartender. "Pardon me! I would like a bit of assistance!"

Audrea sat on her bed in her room, scribbling something down on a piece of paper. She picked it up, reading the her neat, even writing.

Don't forget to ask mom if I can hold a ball for the town.

She looked at it again, then left it on the end of her large bed as she stood up. Her gait was even as she stepped over to her full-body mirror. Her dress shimmered as she moved. A sigh escaped her mouth, and a smile prickled the corners of her mouth. Things might calm down if she was lucky. "Just shut up and act like a princess," she mumbled under her breath. But she could almost hear the town aruguing, worring- No! Bad Audrea! Stop it! Your doing fine! She stood up straighter, then exited her room. The door closed silently behind her, and she looked up and down the hall, trying to think where her 'mother' would be. "Mother?" she said, looking around.

[I know that Veronica asked Erica a question, but I'm going to have her leave the bar anyways so I can do something else ^^]

Veronica nodded at the former knight and left the bar, one hand on the hilt of her sabre. She was still dressed in chain mail, and she looked every inch the knight she had trained so long to be. The young woman turned away from her small house and strolled through the town, glancing at the shops along the way. If she hadn't been so dressed up, Veronica might have gone to the palace for news- the maids there were always ready with gossip- but seeing as she was in full armor, the young woman decided to head out of town to the east. It was nice there, up in the hills, and she figured that with all the rumors about the royal family that were circling, it would be a long time before she would get a day off.

Skye finally got a little service when the order for drinks died down just a bit and finally asked the name of the bartender who had been bullied earlier in the day. "Annalise Scarlett..." Skye went over the name in his head once or twice before he nodded gratefully. It might be a little tricky to get through to the man who handled the reposessions and such, but it had to be done. He wasn't going to let an innocent villager get thrown into the dungeon for the palace's wrong doing. It may have been seen as treason, but it was his place nonetheless. He witnessed her hardships and that only made it all the more wrong for the palace to treat the villagers with such disrespect.

Skye finally got back to the castle, the pouch of money in his cloak pocket. The guards let him by, but they were eying him suspisciously. Skye normally remained outside. This was one of the very rare occasions when he would go inside. He had to think quite a bit about this. The repossession agents and the knights that came with them were rough folk. Skye had never met with them, but had heard a few knights complaining about such things. He had never seen a slave outside of the castle, but no one ever said that there werent any within it. Skye was spotted by a few of his associates from the pub and they began to chatter. Since Skye knew his place amongst them, he approached them and asked them for the location of any workers that were here on account of debt.
