In a world where Royalty and peasants are the ranks and a portion of the population are welders of elemental magic, there is a girl who wants to destroy the Royalty and take the throne for her own. Her name is Megaera Nex, and she is an Omnimancer...

(Prince Regius Pictured)
She walked into town, her hood back up and her eyes alert. She planned to meet Notus outside the gates, as usual, as she did not want to go into the castle and alert the family to her existence. She walks through the rather sparse crowds, and darts through an alley before climbing up a wall and getting on a roof. She dashes across them, using a simple Umbra spell to keep her steps light and her form hard to see. She came to a house that was next to the main road that lead to the castle. She was about to jump down, when she saw a large group of soldiers come from the east, heading up the road, with a golden armored male in front, riding a horse of blue.
"Shit." She whispers softly, kneeling down and remaining as hidden as possible. The golden form below happened to be Prince Regius, and she had no idea why he was even out, or why he was with the soldiers. She just watches as he slows to a stop and signals to the other soldiers to halt their progress. He hops off his horse and looks around. She watches as he glares at everything around him before smiling smugly.
"Go on ahead men, I have some business to attend to first. If anyone asks where I am, just tell them I am attending to business and I will be along shortly."
The soldiers nod and start off, heading directly off to the castle. Regius simply stands there for a moment before leading his horse to the stable and ties him to the post. He gives his horse an apple which he procures from his pack. He turns and breathes in slowly before his eyes harden and glare at an unknown figure.
"Well, if it isn't the Consort Child."
She turns her gaze and spies Notus paused, staring at Regius with a blank look.
"Hello Prince Regius. What brings you to town?"
"Well, Consort Child, I had some business to attend to. However, I now wonder what it is that you are doing in town? Shouldn't you be cleaning in the Castle?"
"If I may remind your Highness, I do not have typical duties, being the Son of the Royal Consort. My duties are to train Prince Adrian, Prince Spurius, and Princess Silenda when they require my help, and to spar with them so as they can perfect their mancery. I need not remind you you once trained with me but refused so as to not interact with, as you called me, "a lowly Consort Child born from blood and dirt."
"Notus, do not do anything to get in trouble." Megaera Whispers softly, getting agitated.
The Prince's gaze hardens further and steps closer to Notus.
"I need not remind you to step out of turn to me, for I am a Prince, and I can make your life a struggle. Do not think I do not know what you did today to the child of my Captain."
"He spoke out of turn, and I had every right to reprimand him. My position as the son of the Royal Consort and Mancer to the Royal Children gives me higher rank than him. So, I reprimanded him. Now, I have my own business to attend to myself, your Grace. Pardon me, your royal Highness." Notus states, his face blank still and voice devoid of emotion.
