"Let me go, how dare you?" Constantine was still whaling like a child when he was dumped without ceremony in the middle of the town. Lloyd though kept his mouth shut as he looked around; the large settlement was surrounded by forest, and most of the huts were made of wood and some were even in the trees, like the giant hut built into a massive tree in the centre of the village. The wooden structure wasn't as big as the palace but it was certainly the size of a mansion.

Lloyd couldn't believe such a place was in the middle of a forest, the town had small market stores, and he could hear the elves of the town whispering about the humans that their Prince had just brought in. Lloyd wondered if this tiny town was the extent of Hodge's Kingdom. Not that wondering about this rough looking Prince's wealth would do him any good while he was hog tied like an animal.

"Can someone shut him up," Hodge growled looking at the Constantine as one of the elves roughly gagged the belly aching prince. "And you knight you're lucky I could see you had no real intention of harming Ragamuffin, I would have filled you full of arrows before you could have even reacted,"

Lloyd nodded whoever Ragamuffin was he was very close to the Prince that stood in front of him, and someone that the assassin prince would protect at any costs. Lloyd had thought Ragamuffin was just an urchin, but his status in this town seemed to be one of a noble.

"Your consort does seem to get himself in trouble a lot, anyone would think he likes playing the damsel," A tall woman with short blond hair came to stand next to Hodge. She was beautiful but not all like the ladies of the court, this lady was a warrior, her gold armour over her tight white clothing showed anyone that.

"True Rosfey, but he would be more then able to get himself out of trouble if he needed too,"

Lloyd listened, so Ragamuffin was married to the Prince. This would have been a great scandal in The Kingdom Of Celestine but no one batted an eyelid here. He had heard the fey folk had no qualms about coupling with their own gender. He didn't expect such a man as Hodge to be that way inclined, but then he didn't doubt he had been taught wrong. He had been taught that men that had relationships with other men were cowards and womanly. He often thought to himself what was wrong with being womanly because he knew not all woman were cowards, his late wife was feisty and strong though that was frowned upon in Celestine.

"Ah yes our little faerie would have summoned the guardian of the forest, though that's always overkill," Rosfey smirked, and Lloyd was smart enough to know she was talking about Ragamuffins race rather than insulting the boy for his sexuality.

Lloyd continued listening storing the information because it might come in handy. He learnt that Ragamuffin was a faerie mage, and a powerful one. Rosfey the tall woman next to Hodge was the captain of his guards and right now they were discussing what should happen to them.
