Alex walked in, slightly confused. She had no idea what was going on. She saw the king and queen of the southern kingdom, she'd gotten to know them fairly well when she'd been with Eomer, who was there as well. She bowed, "My lords and ladies." she said and sat in the chair indicated.

Felix smiled as David came in and Alex soon after. He turned his attention to the other king and queen.

Anna cut her eyes around to see Alex. What a scoundral this girl was. She despised this girl and felt as though she had no need to hide her feelings anymore. She looked over at David, giving him a look that he could obviously read. He nodded and kept his eyes on his hands. Which were lazily resting on his lap.

Alex glanced at Felix, slightly annoyed at the silence by everyone. "pardon me for asking, but what's going on?" she asked, tone obviously annoyed. She'd been planning on getting some extra sleep and would have rather been back in her room at the Inn.

Felix looked pointedly at Anna. He was in no possition to explain, he didn't know enough about it.

The queen turned around and scoffed at her. "Ugh, an activist." She said, the king nodded. "An activist, yes." He said before they both laughed. Anna shook her head, she knew what that word meant and she knew that they had just insulted her. Anna gave her the look of, 'just sit down.' David didn't look up at Alex or at his father.

Alex narrowed her eyes at the comment, she was disappointed, having spent some time with both of them, the king and queen, and it made her angry to be treated like this. She glanced at Eomer and took a seat.

Anna looked over at David, telling him to look up and respect the others. David did as he was told, trying not to show that he was truely annoyed with being here and not being asleep. The queen looked over, "Now. This is the girl that has had tried to kill my son." She began to stand. "You've got some nerve. I should even your body out by cutting off this ugly, thing." She said, gesturing her face. She glared. Her husband motioned for her to sit back down.

"Son? As far as I was concerned, ive never knowingly attacked a lord or lady of high rank, let alone any prince. If you're referring to the man who attacked David, my lord, and charge until recently, I was merely protecting David, who was attacked. He has a arrow hole in his arm to prove it." Alex said, crossing her arms.

The queen sneered, she was determined to win. "Self inflicted more than likely." She said and watched him. She turned and glared at David, who was now rubbing against his shoulder nervously. "Why so nervous? You know you self inflicted that wound!" She began to argue. Anna stood up, defending her son. "Hold it lady! My son wouldn't self inflict any wound!" She argued back. The queen glared, "I can see where he gets his idiosity." She said, looking her over with a sneer. Anna glared, threatning to jump over the table.

Felix rose, "order." he said sharply. "I will not have this hostility in my court. Understand? Now let David speak or I'll cast all of you out to settle it elsewhere." he said and sat again. He didn't mean to speak against Anna, but he wanted to hear the full story and fix this now.

Both Anna and the queen sat at the same time, still glaring at each other with looks so sharp they could cut through bodies. Anna folded her arms tightly and looked over at David, who slowly began to speak. He tried not to meet anyone's eyes, especially not his father's. "Me and Alex were riding back home, Robin sat in a tree and shot an arrow through my shoulder. I had fallen and hit my head, Alex guarded me. I passed out and when I woke up I was in the southern kingdom. Honest." Anna nodded.

Alex nodded, agreeing with his story. She sat back in her chair, yawning quietly.

Felix nodded, he looked at Eomer, "commander Eomer, you hvent said anything through this, what happened on your end?" he asked, he respected the commander and was fairly good friends with the young man. He knew that the boy loved Alex and they'd been together before.

Commander Eomer looked up, "I had come back from a business trip and I had just come back when I recieved word from my guards that I had Alex and Prince David in my prison." He said and looked over at Felix. He felt a little bit better now that he could get to talk about it and that he could get to voice what happened. The king gave him a squeeze on the arm, cutting his eyes around sharply. Commander Eomer looked down at his hands, not speaking another word.

Felix nodded, crossing his arms. "well, thank you commander." He glanced around the room. He blinked. "alright, your turn to question, my lord." he said calmly.

Alex straightened, ready for whatever they asked.

The queen perked up, "If my son did attack Prince David, what would the reason be? He has no reason to be anywhere near here and therefor he stays away. All of his men and a couple villagers had said that he has never been here before, so what's to comment on that?" She asked, turning her neck to look at Anna. She smirked. Anna counted to three quietly, trying to calm herself down from grabbing this girl up.
