The Royal Garden was beautiful this time of year. Summer flowers were in full bloom and the bright green leaves of the trees and bushes matched the lush grass that surrounded the courtyards and cobblestone paths winding through the garden. | |Sent=Wed Jun 21, 2023 02:02:17 | ||

Alyssa, the Queen of Perdan looked up from her book at the sound of metal footsteps against the stone of the path to her private little clearing. It wasn't designated as such but the staff knew not to disturb her when she took time to relax in her favorite spot in the garden. The sun shone brightly above filling Alyssa with an easy peaceful warmth. She felt good today and stretched with a gentle sigh as two knights in polished armour approached. | |Content=<p>The Royal Garden was beautiful this time of year.

"Thank you Darrien." Alyssa said, setting her book down and folding her spectacles up to set beside it on the stone bench she rested on. "Kira." She said, acknowledging the other knight who promptly fell to one knee in reverence. Her blonde hair fell forward as she drew her eyes directly to the ground. | "Your Majesty."

<br /> | |||
"As you were, Kira." Alyssa said gently, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. The golden blonde of Alyssa's hair now showing a few strands of silver shimmered in the sunlight just as brightly as the armor of her knight who stood promptly and stiffly at attention. | "Thank you Darrien."

"Well." Kira replied in iron. Not exactly the conversationalist, though Alyssa seemed to get more conversation from her bodyguard than any other was able to. Perhaps on a nice day like today she would have some success. Isana had always helped Alyssa see that she was more than just her duty, something she was grateful for more than anything. It was a reason to fight and to defend just as much as her oaths to her Kingdom and people. An oath is important, but a knight needed more than that not to waver. | "How are you today, Kira?"<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
"Kira, what do you do to entertain yourself. When you're not protecting me?" Alyssa asked. | "Well." Kira replied in iron.

"I am always protecting you, Your Majesty. It is my sworn duty, even when I am not physically present." | "Kira, what do you do to entertain yourself. When you're not protecting me?" Alyssa asked.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Alyssa sighed. That was true enough, but a knight was still a person, with feelings, joys, sorrows, and idiosyncrasies. We must be more than that. She thought to herself. | "I am always protecting you, Your Majesty. It is my sworn duty, even when I am not physically present."<br /> | ||

"When you are not physically present in my vicinity, what do you do?" | Alyssa sighed. That was true enough, but a knight was still a person, with feelings, joys, sorrows, and idiosyncrasies. <em>We must be more than that.</em> She thought to herself.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Kira thought about this seriously for a moment. "I train, typically. To better protect my Queen." | "When you are not physically present in my vicinity, what do you do?"<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Queens. Alyssa mentally corrected though the thought passed quickly without further consideration. "So what else besides that?" | Kira thought about this seriously for a moment. "I train, typically. To better protect my Queen."<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Kira thought for a moment longer, shifting slightly uncomfortably. "My sister taught me how to make miniature sculptures from paper. Sometimes I fold them if I find myself idle." She paused slightly before blurting out "Which is very rare." | <em>Queens. </em>Alyssa mentally corrected though the thought passed quickly without further consideration. "So what else besides that?"<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
"I didn't know you had a sister." Alyssa said inquisitively. | Kira thought for a moment longer, shifting slightly uncomfortably. "My sister taught me how to make miniature sculptures from paper.

<br /> | |||
"She was killed in the Great War." Kira said flatly. An awkward silence errupted between them. | "I didn't know you had a sister." Alyssa said inquisitively.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
"Can you show me what your sculptures look like?" Alyssa asked finally to break the silence. | "She was killed in the Great War." Kira said flatly. An awkward silence errupted between them.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Kira looked visibly uncomfortable and shifted awkwardly at the question. "Trivialities, Your Majesty. My sword is what matters." | "Can you show me what your sculptures look like?" Alyssa asked finally to break the silence.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Alyssa took pity on her knight and guard and changed the subject. "Then perhaps you can demonstrate your level of technique." Kira seemed somewhat surprised by this as well. "I have been fortunate not to need to see my bodyguard in action, I should know her capabilities." Alyssa said raising an eyebrow. "Perhaps a staff member could bring some training weapons." | Kira looked visibly uncomfortable and shifted awkwardly at the question. "Trivialities, Your Majesty. My sword is what matters."<br /> | ||

Wooden swords clacked through the little courtyard as Kira and Alyssa traded swings, dodges, and parries. Kira was clearly holding back to Alyssa's annoyance but Alyssa's insistent technique forced the knight to remain vigilant and focused on her opponent. Kira was well trained but Alyssa, despite her approaching middle age, was still nimble and decades of experience in swordplay found little match in the younger knight. With quick lunges and pirouettes Alyssa had her knight on the backfoot. | Alyssa took pity on her knight and guard and changed the subject. "Then perhaps you can demonstrate your level of technique."

"Your Majesty, diplomats from Sirion had arrived." Both women froze, swords in hand and turned to look at one of Alyssa's courtiers, standing with Rearden Arylon and his party. | Wooden swords clacked through the little courtyard as Kira and Alyssa traded swings, dodges, and parries.

The Visits To Perdan By Shadowdale And Sirion
(( Out-of-Character Note: This page is for the...Saved roleplays, letters, and discussions from around the time Perdan City received diplomatic visits by Etain (Shadowdale's ruler) and Rearden (Sirion's ruler). These are bits and pieces, and there may be a few roleplays sent earlier before my character arrived to the city, so the saved messages may start where a previous roleplay session/thread was already in the middle of things...
Temporary Note: There may be more added to this page later, for now I only had time and knowledge to throw this page together with screenshots just so there is a rudimentary archive of messages players back in Sirion can read if they want to catch up on things going on in Perdan City (Since the character limit for writing messages in Battlemaster means it's more... tedious... to copy + paste several roleplays during diplomatic RP meetings between rulers like this, or any other major events... with the functionality added by Delvin to copy + paste 'Wikified' code from BM messages into the Wiki, I will be attempting to add that here at some point... and maybe a few other 'archive' styles... but right now, there will just be screenshots to at least get the point across, and more proper formatting and organization of the messages/RPs/archiving of things will happen later...! ))
