Thoughts for a new King

Lord Rensain · Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 12:49 am Post subject: Thoughts for a new King

{Had already notified Vlad that he would be there, so he sat patiently in the palace office of the new King, admiring the white wash walls, fancy desk and intricate decorations. A pleasant change, indeed.

He crossed one leg over the other, cane propped casually by his side, a hand leaning on it.}

<< enters the room from a door hidden in the wall behind a massive painting. He heads to his desk and flops rather unceremoniously into his chair>>

Renny, what is it you needed to see me about?

"Your majesty"

{Tips his hat in Vlad's direction}

"How gracious of you to spare some time for me. I've come with regards to my son."

{Rolls his eyes with a sigh of dispair.}

"Marcus...come out from under the desk."

{The boy sits there cross legged and blinking as he peers up at Vlad.}

<< looks at the boy, sizing him up>>

This is the boy that's going to marry Claudia? We may be forced to re-negotiate Renny.

And drop the formalities, titles are wastes of time, you know who's in charge, anbd I know who you work for...so let's get downto business.

What do you need me to do for the boy?

"Well...look at him."

{Reached down and pulled him from under the desk since the boy had ignored him.}

"I fear too much time with his mother has made him soft."

{Straightened the boys clothes}

"No, there will be no re-negotiating."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 6:11 pm Post subject:

So, what you are asking is that he be brought around and made into more of a man?

<< leans back in his chair>>

It may cost you, but I do beleive I may have the perfect person to toughen the boy up for you, provided there are no objectiosn to him spending a bit of time away from mummy...

"Thats exactly what I am asking."

{Paused to clasp his hands together in thought.}

"How long do you think this re-conditioning will take? I want him returned to me before his mother does...and furthermore who exactly did you have in mind?"

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:56 pm Post subject:

It could take several weeks, but it is worth the wait, as for who and where..why, I have every intention of sending him to my estates in the Thunderlands to be instructed by the Lady Victoria and the other Winterhavens in all manner of courtly behavior...and then I will have Jaric send me his arms master to teach the boy what it means to be a man.

If there is a person that can harden this...boy...it is Wulfgang.

{Nods, satisfied with the solution}

"Good, good. I like the idea of this. Now, to be blunt, how much is it going to cost me? Does sound rather expensive."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:58 pm Post subject:

I'd ask for you to reconsider marrying the runt off to my daughter...but I know better. No, for this you will simply hae to accept a new post away from the mage school...

"Runt? That is a little harsh, he simply needs the correct coaching."

{Tilts his head at the new King's suggestion. With a forced smile, and his voice calm but unamused, he clasped his hands together.}

"Well now..I am just settling in. I'm amazed you wish me to move on so quickly. It will be a shame, I have many...ambitions for the mage school."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 12:17 pm Post subject:

It is precisely your ambition that I have decided to capitalize on. I intend to appoint you to the position of Royal Secretary to the King. Your talents at making people waht to leav a room quickly would prove invaluable for getting rid of those people I find less than desirable to spak with, and of course you would get to move out of Draco and back into the palace, a palce denied to you for some time I beleive.

{Vladamir's words nearly made him fall off his chair, and all he could do was stare whilst he pondered this. With a wide grin, his tone is curious.}

"As you command. However, I do think you good wife will no doubt have objections. Please ensure I am not thrown in jail for treason or anything just as rediculous. Its a shame the rest of Aegis holds no appreciation for my talents."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:01 pm Post subject:

No worries, should I find evidence fo treason I will simply kill you outright, no need for prison, as for the Queen, well, she can be persuaded easily enough.

Speaking of wives, I do hope your own will have no objections to the time you will be forced to spend away from her...

"There is no reason why I can't see Maire when I need to, although I do not see that as your concern. Besides, she is still visiting her High priestess, so for the present time, it will not be a problem."

{Shuffled in his seat to become comfortable}

"I shall trust you will convince the Queen sufficiently well, and I accept the position."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 12:42 pm Post subject:

The Queen has already been convinced, and you really didn't have much choice in the matter...I was going to make you take it anyway.

Now, as to your apartments here in the palace. You can have my former quarters. I won;t be needing them now that I have moved into the Queen's suites.

"Excellent, I shall move my things in at once."

Nods, rising from his seat.

"I shall go now to make the arrangements, unless there is anything else?"

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Thu May 01, 2008 12:33 pm Post subject:

Actually there is. You see, you have been invited to live at court, your family has not. See to it that you remember them in your arrangements. I'd hate to see your wife tossed out in the cold for want of a home.

<< smiles slightly>>

{Stared hard at Vladamir.}

"I shall make sure they are well provided for - financially and otherwise. I really don't see Maire and your wife getting along in the palace."

Vladamir Carthallion · Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 1:54 pm Post subject:

<<chuckles>>

I have trouble seeing ME and my wife getting on, let alone her being tolerant of anyone else.

{Chuckles, clasping his hands together.}

"Such happens when married, unfortunately."

Indeed, now, if you will e3xcuse me, I have to make arrangements to keep her royal pain in the ass from making my life difficult over this matter. And you have packing to do.
