So, this is the lion's den where the mighty boss holds court.
Cassia takes a deep breath and steps forward, revealing a hidden tattoo on her cheek. I am Cassia, once a noble, now an outcast.
"Before she could continue Lady Cassia, daughter of Lord Drakken?"
Cassia narrows her eyes and takes a step back, shielding her tattoo. How do you know that? Who are you?
"Lord Arcturus. You're father and I had business together once."
Cassia scoffs and crosses her arms. If what you say is true, then prove it. Tell me something only Lord Drakken would know.
"Cassia, daughter of Drakken, born 27th April 2349, G.C.E. Your birthday is on Midsummer night. When Drakken turned Seventy-Five he told you that if you weren't present would change your name to something meaning Death for your protection."
Cassia's eyes widen in surprise, and she releases her crossed arms, taking a step forward. How do you know all that? Who sent you?
walks over and kisses your hand "We were childhood friends. I wanted to be an engineer while you became a knight. You never told me about your Dad's age though."
Cassia looks into sincemuse's eyes, searching for any sign of deception. After a moment, she nods. Very well, Lord Arcturus.
"Take off the cloak. We're friends again."
Cassia slowly unclasps her cloak and lets it slide off her shoulders, revealing a sleek black jumpsuit beneath. Very well, Lord Arcturus.
"Lady Cassia, daughter of Drakken and family friend since birth is asking for refuge."
Cassia takes a deep breath and nods. Very well, Lord Arcturus. I seek refuge under your protection.
"And your father wanted us to be together once he turned Seventy-Five which is soon."
Cassia raises an eyebrow and smirks. So, my dear Lord Arcturus, what are you planning to do with your newfound ally?
"Sweep her off her feet?"
Cassia chuckles softly and leans in closer to sincemuse. My dear Lord Arcturus, I hope you have more than just romance in mind.
"Have dinner with me first."
Cassia smirks and playfully flips her hair over her shoulder. Very well, Lord Arcturus. Dinner sounds delightful.
