Selena Lily Francis a.k.a Selene
Currently Humming: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy-XnEM6Npo[/url] Immoral Melody[/url][/size][/color] A soft sigh escaped Selene as she sat on a small bench inside the garden closing her eye's as the servant's scampered about cleaning everything up and taking care of the garden. Everything was going according to her plans so far, all she had to do was sit back and wait... Wait for the perfect moment to make the kingdom it's weakest then strike... Once she was in control well, the pirate scum would simply be destroyed
But for now, she would wait. Opening her eye's casually, she was waiting for someone - knowing that the 'certain' person would not miss such a beautiful sight as the garden on this time of the day. Kicking back and relaxing, The princess had shown signs that she was mad at her father. This card she could play against them both. If the girl would step in to take her rightful place, it would be utter confusion and chaos between the rank's as they wouldn't know what to do... Follow the do nothing king, or follow a person who was trying to overthrow him as his own daughter.
A small smile formed on her lip's as she relaxed, It was still cold yet here it looked completely untouched by the weather. It was actually pretty amazing job, she would have to make sure that the servant's weren't stupid in this change of leadership - She would make good use of them.[/font]

Sophia was getting rather frustrated with her father, and that was just the beginning. She wasn't just frustrated, she was downright angry. She was angry that her father couldn't keep it together for the kingdom. The entire kingdom was suffering because he locked himself away and did not attend to the kingdoms needs.
Just the thought of throwing the kingdom away like that had her infuriated, because she could not imagine throwing them to the side like that. Yes, her mother had been important to her... but she could not let that stop her and let the kingdom fall to ruin.
She let out an exasperated sigh as she exited the castle, heading into the gardens. This was one of her favorite places to be, it was just so beautiful here. It was a little chilly outside today, but perhaps that would calm her ire at her father. Well, perhaps not.
She meandered around the gardens, taking in the flowers and the like when she spotted Selena. She smiled slightly, she knew the woman, and made her way over, lifting her hand to gently wave at her. "Hello Selena, fine day, isn't it?"

Dante stood at the door, waiting for something to do. His shift was almost over and he could finally talk to her. He had this huge crush on the princess. He always has, ever since he first saw her. He knew that she wouldn't look at him, let alone give him a chance. He couldn't help but watch her sometimes. Of course, other women flirt with him, but none he'd like to be with.
His dark brown eyes brightened as he watched the princess walk out into the gardens. Just in the nick of time too, the other guards were coming to relieve the current ones from their duties. He muttered a few words to the fresher pair of guards and then headed over to the princess and Selena, one of the noblewomen.
He took off his helm and held it under his left arm. He strode over with a proud posture, a smile on his face. He bowed to each of the women once he was close enough. "Good morning, my ladies," he stated, straightening up to his full height of 6'0". His eyes moved back in forth between the two as to not make it obvious of his feelings for the princess.

She wondered if what she was doing was right, but it was obvious it was right to her. Sitting back as she thought to herself about numerous thing's until she saw a very familiar face - the princess herself. Bowing her head a little and nodding. "Yes, It truly is" She smiled, she was a noble after all - they were taught how to lie properly very early on. "And how was your day so far?" Spotting the princess looking a bit more agitated then normally. Which, was a good thing all she had to do was turn it around on her father.
However, her eye's slowly noticed another figure approaching them. Slowly closing her eye's slightly, damn it - If only the man could have waited a few more moment's. She smiled slightly. "good morning to you as well" She bowed her head slightly, She had known Dante for quite sometime after all. Slowly looking back to the sun and the garden as she sighed contently.
As if on Que a servant talking to another passed behind them not paying attention to who was around. "did you hear? Another city was attacked by pirate's...It's really-" Seeing the princess the servant's eye's widened quickly bowing her head and running off, as did the other one who was with her. Looking to the Princess, back to Dante. "...I truly am behind in current news aren't I?" she sighed gently closing her eye's. In her mind she was smirking, it worked out - luck was on her side after all. [/font][/size]

Sophia smiled slightly as Selena agreed that the day was beautiful - if a bit chilly, and sighed slightly at the question that she asked. How to answer that without giving a hint as to her actual thoughts. Well, perhaps it was all right to tell her... she was a noble after all.
"I'm frustrated with my -" She cut off however when Dante showed up, her mouth snapping shut. She did not know how loyal the man was to her father, being a guard and all he had to be loyal - and she really didn't want anyone speaking to her father about the fact that she was bashing him to others. But, she would be kind. Her gaze turned to Dante, and a soft smile crossed her face. "Good morning, Dante." She recognized him, of course, that was one thing she prided herself on. She made sure that she knew the people that worked in the castle... it helped if loyalty lay with her.
Her hands clenched in anger only moments later when the two servants passed, speaking of the pirates attacking. Damn! When would it stop? She wanted to scream at her father, and make him see the light... it was not fair to the country. She released her clenched hands and looked back at Selena, shaking her head slightly. She had heard this of course, since she was one of the ones taking care of the country now. It was just difficult to get people motivated because of her father's absence.
"I had heard about that already... I just hate that people speak of it so." She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She had to meet with the general again and try to push more soldiers and navy men out, she had to protect the people.

Dante was happy that at least Selene spoke to him. The princess, on the other hand, seemed tense. He began to wonder why she was so protective, but then gave up. Girls could talk about anything and get over protective about things, or that's what he thought at least. He looked at the servants as the passed, then at Selene as she spoke.
"You're not the only one, madame. I haven't heard anything about this either," he stated, his head turning as he watched the servants head back into the castle through another entrance. He turned back to face the women. He then noticed Sophia's hands clenched into fists.
"Is there something wrong, My lady?" he asked, looking at her. He was gonna put his hand on her shoulder, but thought better of it. His eyes narrowed a bit. "Truthfully, I think the King could do a much better job protecting his kingdom. I wouldn't know what to do if my parents were ever attacked by pirates," he stated.
His parents lived many leagues away from this castle. They also lived near the ocean, on a small ranch. They would be a perfect target for pirates who were running low on supplies. He swallowed and shook his head, clearing it of the horrible thoughts.
"No offense to your father. I don't mean to insult him like that, I was just thinking of my family," he said quickly, obviously not knowing that her and her father don't get along.

"...Maybe it's just me, I tend to just...try and ignore it..." She looked away, Her parent's was taken away from her by the inactive king who sat on his throne. She would have her revenge. Listening to Dante now as she sighed. "...I Do believe we should venture off such subject's... It can be a very touchy subject and castle's tend to have many ear's.
The seed was planted in the girl's mind, all Selene had to do was let it bloom - The girl would know her place in due time... It will be then that she would strike the weak king... She would not kill his daughter of course, unless.... she did something to jeopardize Selene's mission. They had known each other far to long.

Sophia shook her head slightly, not wanting to let Dante know exactly what was wrong. She was frustrated, and growing more so. It was tempting to just take the crown...
No, that would be a terrible idea. She didn't want to split the people of Methon.
She looked at Selene as she spoke again, nodding her head slightly as Selene suggested a change of topic. It was a good idea, she never knew what her father actually heard from in his room, or if he had people reporting back to him that were wandering the palace. It was frustrating, not knowing that kind of stuff. She doubted he did at least, but perhaps other people would hear of it as well. She didnt want people thinking she was splitting off from her father either, even if it was just a rumor.
She didn't know what to talk about, however, especially with Dante there. She could have reverted to girl-talk with Selena, but Dante.. probably didnt want to hear such things. She sighed slightly and looked at the two of them, trying to decide what to say.

Dante cleared his throat a bit. "So....ummm.... Any new suitors, Princess? I heard your father called in a few more princes," he stated. He didn't want to be nosy, but he wanted to know.
He glanced at Selena, wondering if that was an okay subject to talk about. He really didn't know what to talk about either. It was so dull around the kingdom. Nothing interesting. He was sure the girls didn't want to talk about the new prisoners and politics.
His moved his eyes to look at the princess, waiting for an answer. His eyes held plenty of curiosity in it. Of course they would, considering his feelings for her. He wanted her to have the best suitor out there and if they had done something to make her sad or mad or scared, he would attack them without a second thought.
((Short, but I didn't know what to post))
