[Okai =3 A meeting for which nobles?]

[All nobles? Okai. I'm there! Or... i am now.... >.>]

Lovec entered the room and took a seat, her dark gray eyes swept across those in the room thus far, and a brief smile graced her lips. How she loathed most of the people that were gathering there, but no one would ever have guessed it by how gracious and sweet she would be. Her garment was simple that day, golden riding slacks and it's matching jacket paired over a soft white shirt, the collar slightly wrinkled from the uncaring way she'd hurriedly dressed that morning to leave. Black boot crossed at her ankles and she leaned forward, resting her chin in her hands atop the table. A lock of hair fell over her left eye, but she left it as her thoughts raced.

Maverick sighed and said "If you say so." He shrugged his shoulders himself as he headed outside and then headed towards the calm and peaceful forest. "I wonder how the nobles feel about these skirmishes and how many are calling for a war..." his voice trailed off. War...it seemed so surreal, Maverick had never experienced it in his life time.

Gideon took his place at the head seat of the nobles. "Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman. I'm sure you all have something to bring to the table. And of course the recent skirmishes with our former allies is most certainly on everyone's minds. So I propose that unless anyone has any pressing issues we just jump right into discussing how to deal with this mess."

"Of course if peace could be reached, that would be the best solution and your suggestion is a very sensible one however there is only one problem. From what they have told up, it was our kingdom who drew first blood therefore peace will not be so easy. In their eyes, we attacked and killed their people many of whom where not even soldiers for the leadership of a nation to let such a thing go so easily is not likely. The fact that we are not yet at a full blown war is a blessing. I hope this is a sign that they would rather have peace with us, but we also must not let our guard down." Zane replied.

It was unusual to find anyone in the forest at this time of day or at least this part of it anyways. There was not much game here and the nobles should be at the meeting. Naturally, he was curious to see who had disturbed the birds besides himself. He began making his way towards the disturbance through the tree tops so he would have to deal with the think underbrush that grew at some places. "your majesty," Kray said as he jumped down form the trees and went into a blow. "I thought you would be at the meeting."

Maverick smiled and said "Hello Kray, what are you doing out here? As for the meeting, Aiden is in there listening for me." Maverick trusted all his personal guards, they were more than just soldiers, they were also spies, scouts, and most importantly at least in his eyes friends. Even with the recent events he trusted them he was on guard to a certain extent.

Some of the other nobles nodded and listened between the banter back and forth. Most pondered as to who gave the command, one noble finally spoke up and said "Is it not possible we were framed? I mean it's not like our allies even bothered to ask about the attacks." Another noble chimed in and said "What about the prince? Couldn't he have actually given the order behind all our backs." Many of the nobles gasped at the accusation but none seemed to say anything, perhaps it was from the shock, perhaps some others thought it too, or perhaps they thought it was the rambling of a noble gone senile.

"Simply clearing my mind" He replied. His dull, almost soulless eyes shifted to Amelia for a moment before they set their focus on Maverick again. "Aiden is strong willed and is not afraid to speak his mind though I feel he sometimes does not know when to hold his tongue. I do not question your judgment but wouldn't it of been smarter to send someone like Amel instead?"

Zane stayed silent for a moment. Lovec had caught his attention for a moment. He wondered what was going on in that mind of hers. "Please everyone calm down. I have known the prince who is now our king and his father for sometime and I cannot see the king doing such a thing," He began. "We could have been framed that is true we do not exactly lack enemies but at the moment I can think of no way to confirm how this mess started. Rather than looking at the past, we should look at the current situation as it is and stabilize it first. Then we can look to find how it all started. The main objective right now is how to prevent these minor exchanges from becoming a full scale war."
