------Medieval England------
A crowd was gathering in the courtyard of a small castle. The crowd, more of a very small mob, was made up mostly of very poor people and snobbish looking nobles. Two girls looked over a balcony into the courtyard. One looked at the people below and then turned to the other. "Emilia, do you really think this is a good idea? A bit of diplomacy might work." The second girl, taller than the first, gave her a look. "Of course this is the way. Queen Lunden has been and always will be an immature poser. England deserves a better Queen than she." Then Emilia took precise steps to the staircase leading to the courtyard below. "Coming, Alexandra?" Alexandra followed behind. When she reached the bottom of the staircase, her sister had already begun her address, looking every bit the cold, plotting noble lady she was.

---One Day Later, Queen Lunden's Palace---
"And you said Emilia had called it? Why on earth..." Lunden was shocked that any rebellion was afoot. Really, she was leaning towards not believing it. But her guards thought otherwise. " Yes, my lady. I beseech you to summon the guard and some trusted nobles to a meeting to discuss this threat." When she hesitated, her Head Bodyguard continued. "Our only concern is your safety, your Highness...." Finally Lunden nodded. "Very well. Call the rest of the guard and I shall send messengers to summon the nobles." And so it was that Lunden found herself in the council chamber with her guard, along with twenty and eight trusted nobles.
