Princess Naledi

A royal on the run to protect her birthright from an evil warlord.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @JMD88286760 @LVYLittleSpoon @thelionatlas @AnnaM99878890 No, no she hasn't.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas I thought perhaps education was better than the alternative, Little Chief.

His Majesty would be most unhappy with me if I ate his favorite security leader.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@thelionatlas @JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @MeThySquirrel Does this mean you are going to join me in the courtyard for a few friendly sparring matches, My King?

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas I thank you for your concern, Little Chief, however weapons practice isn't a symptom of frustration or stress. It's merely practice.

I wouldn't go through so many dummies if His Majesty was willing to spar with me.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@thelionatlas @JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @MeThySquirrel You are safe, Your Majesty.

I am not a threat to anyone...except maybe silly squirrels who suggest I seek counseling for anger management.

I am aware that CC attempted to explain how our queens select our consorts.

Will you partake in the combat trials?

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas Did you just imply that I have anger issues, Rodent?

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 @MeThySquirrel @thelionatlas @_Rooincrisis_ @bearlyable2 @deer__zone CC, you are a bloodthirsty little thing!

You would, I believe, enjoy the Battle of the Consorts. Any male who wishes to be considered as a mate for the next queen must survive a squirmish.

The three most successful fighters each face his future queen in the ring.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@thelionatlas @MeThySquirrel @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 Of course My King.

I promise to go easy on you, at least until it is time for me to chose my future consort.

In the meantime, I shall have to requisition another sparring dummy. This one appears to be in need of repairs.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@thelionatlas @bearlyable2 @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 @_Rooincrisis_ @MeThySquirrel @deer__zone @disruptiveowl @DogOutOfControl Alas my dear king, I meant Bear and I would spar after the canine is taken care of.

I had hoped that you would honour me before that

It is tradition that the queens in my family fight all potential mates.

He need only prove himself capable of defending, not winning.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@bearlyable2 @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 @_Rooincrisis_ @MeThySquirrel @thelionatlas @deer__zone @disruptiveowl @DogOutOfControl When you have dealt with the canine, perhaps we could meet on the field for a friendly match?

I am curious how your size and reach compare to my strength and agility.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 @thelionatlas Your concern and loyalty is a testament to His Majesty's character. An honorable king deserves honorable supporters.

Now, if you don't mind, I have barely warmed up to my practice.

I look forward to your return with His Majesty's response.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@JMD88286760 @MeThySquirrel @AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas @_Rooincrisis_ @bearlyable2 @deer__zone Dear ladies, you both honour me with your confidence! I shall endeavor to live up to your expectations.

I'll try not to hurt His Majesty, badly, if he chooses to face me.

However, I cannot promise the same for whichever champion he selects to fight in his stead.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 @thelionatlas So you're suggesting that I pretend to be something I'm not, Chief Squirrel?

If the king prefers someone who is dainty, and of a delicate nature, perhaps he needs to look elsewhere for a bride.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@MeThySquirrel @AnnaM99878890 @JMD88286760 @thelionatlas The king needs what, Chief Squirrel?

A demonstration of the skills he forgets that I've been honing for years?

Brilliant idea, Fur Face!

Perhaps he could select a champion if he feels he is too...powerful...to face me in a contest of arms.

Perhaps Bear or Kangaroo?

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@thelionatlas @AnnaM99878890 @MeThySquirrel @JMD88286760 Perhaps His Majesty would care to spar with me? We can compare techniques.

Or perhaps His Majesty perfers to watch, from a safe distance? 😉

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@Lunaincrisis

Perhaps the lovely lady does not realize you are a devoted admirer, @LionInCrisis

[Lion @LionInCrisis]

not a day goes by that i don't think about her. i know she'll never be mine, and i've made peace with that. i just wish things were different sometimes. i hope she's happy, even if it's not with me.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@JMD88286760 @AnnaM99878890 If Anna does not like the image, I have an empty wall in my chamber that might be perfect for it.

I find it...compelling.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@Imjustasquirel
@AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas
Your Majesty, the sabotage at the water facility, was part of a plot that coincided with the security breach.

I found these on the spies I eliminated in the secret passageway.

Proof of a two-point test and my abduction attempt.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@Imjustasquirel @AnnaM99878890 @thelionatlas I have every faith you and your comrades will get to the bottom of this.

I do not see this as a failure on your part, nor I believe, will His Majesty.

The Wildebeest is as devious as he is brutish.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@AnnaM99878890 @Imjustasquirel @thelionatlas I did not perceive any flippancy, my lady. I hope our friendship allows us to speak frankly with each other at all times.

You merely misinterpreted my frustration over my inability to act as concern for the king. It was understandable, given the circumstances.

[Princess Naledi @HRHNaledi]

@AnnaM99878890 @Imjustasquirel @thelionatlas Your king doesn't appear to believe in my skills as much as you do, my friend.

The women of my kingdom are warriors. We fight beside our men not behind them. We protect and defend.

Being expected to stand back while others protect me goes against everything I believe in.
