Miaread's P.O.V

Who would have guessed that planning a ball infiltration, and planning to kill a king would take weeks?

Well, I did.

Orantulle's security was some of the best in the 13 kingdoms, only beaten out by Marliest, and Takomerade. Takomerade's security takes the top seat because of natural barriers. Takomerade was the mountain kingdom after all.

Time ticked by slowly, as we now spent most of our days around the big table, maps of Orantulle spread all over them.

There was constant war in my mind about whether or not I should tell them all the patrol patterns. Let them in on all of the information or not. I decided it would be in my best interest to do so. My main goal was to keep their trust. Try to avoid too much suspicion. Because if anyone got close enough to me during one of these planning sessions, they might see the beads of sweat running down the back of my neck.

First, it was decided that McCoy and I, as well as Hugo and Maggie, would mock noble couples. Talbott and Fred accompanied McCoy and I, while Tyrone, Mantreiin, and Ace would be with Hugo and Maggie. Damien was asked by some friends of his to go with them so he was already guaranteed a space at the table.

Second, was timing. We wouldn't be given much bother at all once we were in the ballroom itself. At the kingdom's annual balls (One for each of the 13 months of the year, every kingdom hosted a ball a different month) there were always many people you've never met. Thus as long as we got in, we would be in action. We figured we would want to make you move towards the end of the ball, in case we got anything wrong and needed to adjust our plans.  

All that came after this was training. Teaching these people who to act like royalty.

Time seemed to inch by as our planning session went no were but into arguments. Talbott and Fred were currently arguing with Hugo about which side of the throne to come up on.

This wasn't uncommon with Talbott and Hugo unfortunately. Especially more recently, the two had been going at each other for every little thing.

Maybe the years had impacted them more than they thought.

This'll be fun.
