(I dont know if Crystal had to respond to anything or not ^^ can someone let me know?)

Gypsy&AnimeLuver!<3 - The guards have hold of your character, Crystal. They are currently leading her to the outskirts of the kingdom, where she will be dropped off. Your previous post of her getting on a horse and riding away does not correlate with what is really happening.

{ for Nerdles }

{ Nerdles - just in case you didn't know - you spelled "Elyadon" incorrectly in the right side info column. }

As the prince passed through the narrow corridors, smartly woven between rooms and chambers, he noticed the temperature rapidly increase along with the sound of banging pots and pans. His stomach rumbled as the warm scent of baked fowl reached his nose, and he realized he hadn't eaten since the ball. All the worrying had gnawed a hole through his hunger, but it had come back to claim its rightful place. One by one, the servants began to note his presence, stiffening and quieting their chitchat. He silently regretted not changing into anything less formal before his hunt to the kitchen. Although he was not as well known in Avalon, the colors and silks screamed prince.

He slipped into the kitchen, the servants whispering to the cooks, glances thrown his way. He shrugged off the awkwardness. The clanking of pots came to a complete stop, and then things got even worse. The servants began bowing to them, the cooks as well. He ignored them. Whatever they had been stirring around in those pots was all the prince cared about at the moment.

"Please," he said anxiously, trying to get them up from their low bows and curtsies. He turned to a meaty woman who stood eyes piercing towards him, with her arms crossed. She had some nerve greeting a prince like that, but he was too hungry to care. "May I please have a bowl of.. whatever is in there?" he asked, pointing to the large pot she had been tending to. The woman gruffly frowned, but turned and grabbed a porcelain bowl from the servant next to her. Tristan watched, transfixed, as the cook slowly poured three ladles of what could have resembled beef stew into the bowl. His stomach was practically begging for food. "Thank you so much." he said, taking the bowl from the woman. The servants just stood there, watching him shove his face spoonful after spoonful. It turned out not to be beef stew, but some type of soup with mixed roots and mushrooms. It didn't make any difference to him. After temporarily sating his stomach, the prince awkwardly held out his bowl for a refill, the cook grumbling to herself. He thanked her once more, then turned to make his way towards the exit of the kitchen, a bit farther away from the curious stares.

He made it past the bucket of ladles, but then tripped on something near the door. Fortunately, the bowl didn't fall. Its contents did, however. The soup spilled out onto a girl who had been scrubbing the floor. Disaster.

Serena looked up as she bumped into Kaleb, frowning slightly as he started about her cheek. "I know how bad it looks." she said softly, pulling her hood further over her head in an attempt to hide the bruise. She really was ashamed of it, and would probably lock herself in her room after all of this. The princess nodded in reply to KC. "Don't be mad because your brother has hit me. It could've happened to everyone. I am already happy he didn't slash his sword at me." The girl bit her lip as she looked at KC. "Anyways, I was just searching for you. To see if you are alright." she spoke quietly, her voice not louder than a whisper. It was a habit of the girl. She watched Kaleb for a short moment. "And to see if there is anything i could do for you." she added.

Kaleb sighed, a furious yet deflated huff of a breath. Although he was still somewhat mad, knowing that Serena was alright made him feel loads better. Besides, Alexander was probably being punished at this moment. There was nothing more he could do. "I am fine." He lowered his voice to a whisper that matched hers, eyes a bit detached from the woman before him, glancing at the floor. "Come, let's find something to eat." he said, for even after all that had happened, the prince was a growing man and he was hungry.

Bird
“Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.”
-Roger Tory Peterson-
-Gypsy-Elyadon-With: Cassia-
Bird nodded as Cassia spoke. It appeared that the prince, Alexander, was going against the will of his father, and the behaviour in question seemed to involve a girl. Sparrow smirked. Ah, the damning allure of forbidden love, she thought. Of course, the old tales were all full of nobles falling desperately in love with a commoner, the two of them running away and living together in bliss, but everyone knew those stories were just that: stories. She felt bad for the two, seeing as they would likely never see each other again, but that was the way the world was. It's a tough lesson to learn, but it's probably the most valuable thing to know. When the king waved his hand towards she and Cassai, she felt her heart pounding furiously against her ribcage. She kept her eyes low to the ground as she leaned her head in to Cassia so as not to be overheard. "What now, Cassia?" she hissed.

Cassia bent her head low, eyes to the ground as the guards led the unfortunate prince out. "Now, my dear, we bid audience to the king." The high majesty of Avalon slumped down into a high-backed chair, ornate carvings on the arms and headboard. He absently gestured the two of his visitors forward, a hand pressed against his temple. Cassia moved forward from the side wall of the room, bowing low and sending a glance at Sparrow for her to follow along. "My lord. My associate, a dear friend." The nun straightened, gestured at Sparrow, and observed the king. It seemed that the ordeal with the prince had drained most of his spirit. "Prince Nickolas of Elyadon has been found in the middle forests. It seems as though his kidnapper had taken him from one of the markets in Avalon, and had planned on bringing him back to Elyadon. I believe the kidnapper was in league with the rebels, my lord." The nun quickly explained. "We had planned on arriving at dinner, but it seems that event has been.. cut for now." She raised an eyebrow, a bit bold as she was speaking to a king.

The king nodded at the two young women, one a stranger. Ah, so that explained the younger prince's absence. He had noticed, but was too preoccupied at the moment to inquire further. "The rebels." the king echoed thoughtfully. Why hadn't they simply killed the prince, like they had Aiden? Why had they kidnapped him? It all seemed a bit too much for the man to process. He ignored Cassia's subtle inquiry on what had just occurred. It was obvious what had happened anyway. "Thank you for telling me this, I shall inform the King of Elyadon. Please, if could. I must ask a favor from both of you." He rose from his gilded seat, weary. "I would like you to be present for Prince Alexander's inquiry. As he has committed a crime, he must be punished justly. The choice of his punishment is yours. Dismissed." He swept out of the room with one last look at the women, the guards following close behind.

Serena gave a small nod towards him and smiled sadly, carefully taking his hand before she turned around, starting to head towards the kitchen to see if they had some food left. Serena hadn't had the chance to eat during the dinner due to all the commotion, and was pretty hungry. The last time she had eaten something was in the garden, when she and Kaleb had discovered Alexander and Crystal were 'together'. She had ate a tiny piece of cake, and felt she was hungry now. The princess remained silent as she walked towards the kitchen.

Tyler looked back at Azure. "The king of Avalon is already dealing with Prince Alexander. There are enough guards around to protect everyone, don't worry about that." he reassured the other head knight. "I wasn't the one to find Prince Aiden, but I believe he has been killed with a sword." He gazed around as he entered the castle. "I can help you to find Princess Serena, if you want though." he added.

Victor Rayz, Knight of Elyadon
Victor stood speechless for a moment then smiled and clapped his hands "very well, I admit defeat.. but please, don't lie, just tell me who you are"


Azure Kray, HK of Elyadon
Azure nod, "alright, I'd be honored by your company, But I'm still worried for their safety, do you have an idea of where Princess may be?" Azure began fidgeting with his gear, tightening and checking it all, sort of a calming thing whenever he got worried or nervous

Ethan
"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."
-Charles Kuralt-
-Knight-Avalon-With: Lucifen-
Ethan was glad that they reached the castle without trouble. Lucifen seemed eager to get to the castle, and Ethan knew that his evening duties were still awaiting him back at the barracks. He dismounted alongside the castle maid, walking Areo over to his stable and removing the bridle, saddle, and other equipment as he did so. "I'm sorry for keeping you, my lady," he said apologetically. He didn't know what the consequences would be for her tardiness, but he hoped they would not be so severe. Gently, he took one of her hands in his own and brought it to his lips, giving her the same courtesy that he would have given a lady of the court. "Thank you for accompanying me. I hope you have a pleasant evening." With that, he finished walking Areo to his stall, picking up the bucket of brushes and other grooming supplies and getting started on Areo's buckskin coat.


Bird
“Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.”
-Roger Tory Peterson-
-Gypsy-Elyadon-With: Cassia-
Bird matched Cassia's steps as the king beckoned the two of them forward. Her heart was pounding against her ribs furiously. She should not be here. She was a thief, a rogue, a threat. Her entire life she'd been taught to run from those in authority. If they caught her, she would be thrown in jail. That was the life she knew. But now, here she was standing in front of the greatest authority she could imagine. When Cassia introduced her, Sparrow dipped her head briefly and respectfully to the king. She kept her lips sealed while Cassia spoke, this being the first she was hearing about the prince Nickolas as well. Sparrow's lips quirked into a smirk when dinner was mentioned, remembering the scene that had been caused earlier by the youngest prince. As the king listened, Sparrow took in all that she could about him. He seemed tired, weary and exhausted almost. His son had been captured, and now he had to deal with that on top of what had happened between the prince and the maid earlier in the evening. His next words shocked her. He was asking them to decide Alexander's punishment? It was preposterous! Bird opened her mouth to utter a retort or to dispute the sheer absurdity of the situation, but the king had already left the chamber, the door swinging closed behind he and his guards.
Bird whirled on Cassia. "Is he insane?" she hissed, gesturing at the door through which he had just exited. "We can't decide that! We don't even know the kid or his situation. How are we supposed to decide what happens to him? Why would he put that on us to decide? I don't know how much he knows about you, but he doesn't know the first thing about me, that's for sure!"

Crystal Swan~Knight
She clenched up.
"Sir, if I told you who I was, I fear you would turn on me once you found out." she said looking at the ground. "But if you swear not to tell a soul, then maybe, maybe I will say."
She finally looked up at him. She hoped she wasn't being an idiot telling him who she was.

[GwimmyTales]

Victor Rayz, Knight of Elyadon
Victor nodded and drew his sword, then laid it on a near by box along with his other weapons "I promise by my life, not to tell anyone" Victor hoped that by discarding his weapons it would show that he was telling the truth, that he would keep his word.

[floki,]

Crystal Swan~Knight
She watched him as he discarded his sword and bow. Crystal took in a deep breath.
"My real name is Crystal Swan. And as you guessed before, I am a...... knight. My father was Richard Swan, he too a knight. I only became a knight to honor my father." she says sadly. "Please, I beg of you, don't tell. I will pay you handsomely if you don not tell."

[GwimmyTales]

Victor Rayz, Knight of Elyadon
Victor looked at Crystal, dumbfounded, "he had never met Richard or Crystal, but the fact she was a knight, a true knight of family origin, made her higher on any rank than he could ever be "Uh.. k-knight of tr-true blood.." he knelt down on one knee "miss Swan.. it's an honor to be in your pressence.."

[floki,]

Crystal Swan~Knight
"No, I should be kneeling to you." she shook her head. "You promised to keep my secret. Please, I don't deserve it. It is you who I am honored by to be in your own presence."
Crystal did a small bow in honor of him.
