Hobbes laughed. "I'm fine Krystalia." he reassured.

Addanc cast a sideways glance at Hobbes...and the Princess? When have they gotten along so well?

Balan snarled. He hated being tied up.

"Okay... You well tracker? I don't care about that tied up pile of trash." Krystalia was looking at Addanc, but continuing to discretely check over Hobbes with her eyes. "Sugarfoot, go find Hobbes's horse and bring him over here please." She asked him softly.

"I'm fine Krystalia, he barley hit me!" Hobbes lied and tried to cover up the gash on his arm the Balan had caused.'

"I'm fine Princess." Addanc said shortly and hit Balan with the butt of her sword on the head, knocking him out.

"Very Well tracker" Krystalia saw Hobbes try to hide the gash on his arm. "Are you trying to lose enough blood to pass out?" She asked him while reaching to move the fabric from his clothes out of the way so she could see his wound and tend to it.

Hobbes didn't reply, just let Krystalia tend to his wound.

"I'll go ahead and bring the assassin to the king." Addanc announced and spurred her horse and galloped off.

"Well that was quite odd of her to go off without bringing me back..." Krystalia thought out loud. She was applying a salve to Hobbes's wound and wrapping it, when Sugarfoot returned with Hobbes's horse. "Good work boy," Krystalia praised her steed, "I knew I could count on you."

"Maybe she wanted me to take you back?" he suggested. Or maybe Addanc was to tied up with Balan, but he didn't suggest that.

Addanc galloped right through the town where Kain lived, she was only a few miles away from Balan being sentenced to death, it's what he deserved.

"Maybe..." Krystalia agreed. "It would certainly earn you your knighthood." She smiled at him as she finished bandaging the wound. "After you're knighted all we have to do is wait a while, and then you can ask Father's permission to court me."

ooc:// Sorry this took so long =(

Hobbes nodded.

Addanc entered the castle's gates and galloped right up to a gaurd. "Get the King." she instructed, the man nodded and ran into the castle.

Occ:// That's alright. c:

"Are you okay?... You seem distracted..." Krystalia asked Hobbes as she cleaned up and put away her supplies.

ooc:// Thanks! =3

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a little tired." Hobbes said and yawned a little in emphasis.

"What is it Addanc?" King Arthur said in annoyance. "Where is my daughter?" Addanc jumped off her horse and knelt before him. "Hobbes is bringing your daughter home, your majesty. I brought home a fugative instead." she said and stood up. King Arthur raised a brow. "Fugative, you say. Who is it?" he asked. Addanc pushed Balan off the side of the horse so he landed on the ground. "This swine was the one who killed one of your soilders three years ago. Now, he was hired to kill your daughter." King Arthur's hand went to the hilt of his sword. He walked over calmly to Balan and unsheathed his sword, he held it inches away from his neck. "Who hired you?" he asked. "Like I'm telling you, old man." Balan spat. "Who hired you?" he said more forcefully. "Or I will torture you until you tell me." Balan slightly whimpered then grumbled something. "What was that?" King Arthur asked. "Your advisor hired me." Balan growled. "Addanc, go fetch my trusted advisor for me, please."

Addanc nodded and ran into the castle.

"Okay. Well my father will be expecting us... Do you want to rest on the back of Sugarfoot until we get closer to the castle?" She smiled at him gently.

Hobbes nodded, and smiled back at Krystalia.

Addanc pushed out the King's advisor. "W-what are you doing? You filthy woman? Let me go! I am of the royal court!" The Man was sputtering as Addanc pushed him onto the ground before the King. King Arthur nodded at Addanc, and she nodded back.

King Arthur knelt down infront of The Advisor. "Did you hire the assassin to go and kill my daughter?" he asked softly, but his voice as cold as ice. "What? Your majesty, you are talking nonsense!" The Man exclaimed.
"Oh, am I? The assassin told me everything, don't lie to me." King Arthur hissed.
The Man's eyes narrowed, and he let out a laugh. "Yes, it was me. You arn't fit to rule anymore. You may have been crowned when you were a boy, but that doesn't mean anything. You are old and weak, and I am going to take your place!" The Man howled and unsheathed a hidden knife.
Balan's eyes widened. The man's mad! "What are you doing you fool? Do you want to die?"

"Alright," she said gently. She tethered a lead from his horse to Sugarfoot's bridle, and then hopped up on her loyal steed. "Think you can handle two riders and another horse?" She whispered in his ear. He whinnied his consent, and stomped his hoof to let Krystalia know he was up for anything. "I know, I know. Just checking it was okay with you," she reassured him.
"Now then..." Krystalia offered her hand down to Hobbes. I know he is capable of mounting Sugarfoot himself, but he's tired and I want to help him if he'll let me...

Hobbes took her hand and mounted Sugarfoot. He carefully wrapped his arms around her waist.

The knife was at King Arthur's thoat, and The Man gripped it tightly. "Whatever it takes, I will be King!" He exclaimed.
King Arthur grabbed the hilt of the knife, an shakily withdrew it from almost cutting his neck. "You, will be burnt at the stake. Seize him, Addanc." King Arthur growled.
Addanc immediatly threw an arm around The Man's neck. "Come you swine. To the dungons with you." She snarled and dragged him away.
