A Game of Dominion [Hiatus]

Aeryn

Aeryn was in her room. Stroking her Snow White hair as she gazed at herself in the mirror, her icy blue eyes full of sadness. In two hours she was to marry a barbarian; His name was Orion and she hated him with a passion, he tried so hard to get the sixteen year old to love him but it was a lost cost for she not only hated him but was disgusted by him and she was now disgusted by her own brother who wanted her to wed a forty year old man with no intentions of which were good but it was going to be alright; there was nothing in the deal of her marriage that said she had to love him or even be in the same room as him and that was her plan it was either that or she would kill him
"Miss Aeryn" Astelle said. Astelle was a slave woman, Aeryn hated those who kept people as slaves as they once did her and her brother and she sought to free them though when Aeryn mentioned it to Orion to make small talk, her brother, Cyron reprimanded her for it which made her despise him even more
"Astelle, how are you" Aeryn asked and Astelle smiled before walking further into the room
"I'm very well, Miss Aeryn and how may I ask are you" Astelle said and Aeryn looked down
"I don't wish to marry Orion" Aeryn admittedly solemnly
"I know, Miss Aeryn, but you must for your kingdom" Astelle said and Aeryn nodded
"But I don't believe that my brother will make a good king, I believe that he's going to lead our kingdom into extinction" Aeryn said and Astelle made a motion toward the other slaves and they left the room
"I can help you" Astelle said and Aeryn looked at her eagerly
"How?" Aeryn asked and Astelle dug deep into her pockets and pulled out a vile of liquid
"If you wish to remain unwed but also please Cyron, give Orion this, it will appear as though he died simply in his sleep but it's poison" Astelle said and Aeryn took it cautiously from Astelle's hands and put it in her own pocket
"I've never killed a man before" Aeryn said as Astelle moved behind her and started braiding her hair
"I know but it's the only way you can ensure you're happiness than you must" Astelle said
"Won't the Gods frown upon this?" Aeryn asked
"Nonsense, Orion is a tyrant, you are just doing their work for them" Astelle said as they heard a knock on the door
"Come in" Aeryn called and the door opened, Cyron was there
"I'll leave you be" Astelle said and she left the room
"Cyron, how may I help you?" Aeryn asked
"I have something to say" Cyron said
"Go on" Aeryn said
"You're a Brargynog and Brargynog's Don't cower behind a wall and let their soldiers fight their battles, they fight with them" Cyron said
"Father said that to you didn't he" Aeryn asked and Cyron shook his head
"Mother" Cyron corrected
"Well, I suppose I should continue to get ready" Aeryn said
"Yes, of course" Cyron said and he left the room and Astelle came back in and started braiding her hair again
"I'll do it" Aeryn said
