Right lol)
Victor moves forward and nodded his head. "It's a pleasure to meet you queen Marie. "I trust your journey was smooth and relaxing?"

Hawkeyes258"It was indeed," Marie said "I quite enjoyed what I saw of your lands. For granting safe passage to my caravans, accept a small fortune to add to the riches you already possess, hm?"

"Naturally would you like to come inside? Are you hungry?" Victor asked using his hand to motion to the large door.

Hawkeyes258"I am, actually," Marie decided as she headed toward the doors "But, I insist you allow my personal cook to command your kitchen for the day to put something together for us. After all, it is us trying to please you, yes?"

"This is true." Victor said chuckling softly. He motioned for some servants to lead the cook to the kitchens. "My dear Marie I have to ask. What is with the blindfolded man you have there?"

Hawkeyes258"He is my personal servant and doctor, Harrison," Marie said simply "He doesn't like to show his eyes in public though, such a shy thing." At his mentioning, the man looked up a little, but did nothing else except murmur a shy, but proper, greeting to the male royal.

"All right." Victor said with a nod. He found it a bit odd originally thinking that the man was her personal slave. Victor shows off parts of the castle wanting to impress her then moves to the dining area. "Here we are."

Hawkeyes258Marie seemed interested in the touring, then looked around the dining area. "Your castle is quite grand," she commented after murmuring something to a member of her entourage "A worthy housing for royalty."

"Why thank you." Victor said smiling lightly at her. "This castle has been around for many years. I love living here." He takes his plate at the head of his table.

Hawkeyes258 "I have to admit though," Marie spoke as she took her spot as well "That it isn't as strict as it is back in Goldvin. My father led a very demanding kingdom, which I inherited and upkept." As everyone settled down, Harrison was guided by one of the guards to stand with the other awaiting servants, yet his head had lifted up completely, a sign that he was listening in.

Victor nodded his head slowly. "If I may ask how strict?"

Post by Smokey Feather on Apr 5, 2017 22:14:45 GMT -5
Hawkeyes258"The word "strict" itself would be an understatement," Marie said after a thought "Goldvin takes its rules and rule breaking very seriously, as to minimize chaos. Harry, hold up your hand, dear." The man tilted his head slightly before removing the prosthetic on his left arm and held up what was left of it. "A strong kingdom only holds when everyone is put in line," Marie decided.

"Yikes." Victor said wincing a little bit. "I see well my kingdom knows better than to act out. There are pirates but my navy takes care of them." He said leaning against the table slightly.

Hawkeyes258"I hear you do have a dislike for pirates," Marie said with a small smile, glancing as Harry put his prosthetic back on "They're extinct in my lands, thanks to my father, and they never even dream of returning. I've no experience with them, so all I can do is hope your luck doesn't run dry."

"Wish I had your father's luck." Victor said shaking his head. Seemed the pirates around these parts kept multiplying. He snapped his fingers and a servant brings a plate of food out.

Hawkeyes258"What brought on your dislike for them?" Marie asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious? Pirates are a menance! They break my laws, kill my people and leave a wreck whoever they go." Victor picks up a sweet tart and takes a bite out of it. "Not to mention that pirates have hurt my family in the past."

Hawkeyes258(Lol your reply came up just as I refreshed my page X3) Marie only gave a small smile, saying "Forgive me for plucking that string. I was only curious, as I've never even heard many stories about them. To me they're just... there."

"No it's fine. Around here pirates are quite the problem." Victor said leaning back and taking couple more bites out of his sweet tart.

Hawkeyes258"Is execution common here?" Marie asked casually, after taking a tart for herself "My father says that scares the real threats away. No jailing. Just the last meal, and up to the chopping block, hm?"

"Some though not enough." Victor said. He would make a mental note to have more executions.

Hawkeyes258"Make it enough," Marie decided "So those pirates of yours are all scared off, yes?"

Victor nodded his head. "Yeah." He smiled liking Marie more than he thought.

"Ah yes a trail deal correct?" Victor finished his sweet tart and placed his hands on the table. "You there um Gaul or whatever your name is. Bring us some wine." He glanced over at Marie. "Is wine okay with you?"

Post by Smokey Feather on Apr 6, 2017 20:37:34 GMT -5
Hawkeyes258"For trade, yes," Marie confirmed, then raised a brow in slight amusement of Victor talking to the servant. "Wine would be lovely," she answered, nodding once.

Victor nodded his head and the servant rushes off to get some wine. "So what are your terms?" He asked.

Post by Smokey Feather on Apr 6, 2017 21:13:17 GMT -5
Hawkeyes258"It all depends on what you have," Marie said simply "I myself tend to have a little of everything. Slaves, weapons, medicines, you name it. However, I admit I have a soft spot for fabrics. Goldvin adores the finer ones since they can't make them."

"Callerias specializes in many goods though I know of a place that has some nice fabrics." Victor explained. "Fabric varires from extremely soft to something bright and expensive."

Post by Smokey Feather on Apr 6, 2017 21:31:23 GMT -5
Hawkeyes258"That's very good to hear," Marie decided "Fabrics, and I'm always looking out for precious metals and or gems. Any kingdom is, really. Along with all of is, what say you of your terms?"
