@DarkHvntress Jessaโs smile lifted Julietteโs worries.
โOf course, my lady.โ She grinned, and approached the redhead, wrapping her arms around her lithe frame.
Post-sword fight with Philip Blake, Juliette entered @DarkHvntressโs room quitely, careful not to wake the bear. The bed seemed a bit small for Jessaโs animalistic state, so Juliette took a seat in a chair and watched her. The princess was alone in her thoughts til morning, โ
@SaltAndSails โPhilip Blake, what has the world done to you?โ Juliette spoke in a soft tone. She lifted herself off of the man, and rose to her feet.
Before he could respond, she turned away. โI should go check on Jessa.โ
@SaltAndSails She was caught by surprise as she fell on top of him, her green eyes widened as he roared her name.
โOh, Iโm sorry!โ The princess tried to gather her bearings, yet her breath hitched in her throat as her gaze met his.
@SaltAndSails In the opportune moment, Juliette knocked the sword from Philipโs grasp. Dropping her own sword, she threw a punch to his chest, knocking him to the deck.
@SaltAndSails Oh, but little did he know she had the advantage. Sword in one hand, she used her free hand to flick her wrist โ sending a stream of ice cold sea water onto the deck, knocking the flask from the pirateโs hand.
@SaltAndSails She ducked down onto her knees, her sword blocking his from slicing her through the head. Juliette pushed until she was back on her feet. Saying nothing, the princess leapt back and attacked once more.
@SaltAndSails โHe was to /me/!โ Philip had successfully gotten a rise out of the princess, who thrust her sword toward his chest. Of course, he blocked her, and she whirled away before he had the chance to strike.
@SaltAndSails โYouโre one to talk, /pirate/.โ Juliette struck her steel against his, a fierce look in her eyes.
โYou killed the man I once cared for. The honorable one.โ She swung harder at Philip, eager to best him to prove her point.
@SaltAndSails โSheโs hurt, no thanks to you. Resting.โ Juliette replied, drawing her sword and placing herself in the perfect stance to defend his blow.
โDonโt patronize me, Philip. Iโll go wake the bear if you do.โ
@MegaQueenThorne She sends a raven.
It reads:
โDear Mother,
I have embarked on a quest to save our nation. Iโm with Philip, and he is protecting me. Worry not, Iโll be home soon. Kisses to Father and Jadis.
Signed,
Juliette, Crown Princess of Camara.โ
@SaltAndSails โGood.โ Juliette nodded her head then grabbed Philipโs sword, then tossed it to him.
โNow letโs see if youโre still able to keep up with me like you used to.โ The princess, carrying her own weapon, started toward the door, looking back at him. โCome on.โ
