Captivity: Day One
Summary: Being captured is one thing. It's another when it's by people who still reject Queen Melisande's rule in favor of someone still unknown. And it's not something Lady Claire plans on taking lightly.

The sound of rain pattering against the window should be a comfort to Claire Tarris, otherwise known as Lady Elizabet while in this place called Rook Keep within Kentaire's boundaries.

Out of all the places to be taken to.. there's no standing conflict with this nation. There could be if things are not taken with due care, gaining permission to enter on the grounds of what? One Galenthian noblewoman taken with the express intention of gaining the attention of her brother, who happens to command the largest or the most sizable armies of the Eastern Province.

The night passed relatively uneventfully in this unfamiliar place with its cold walls and distrusting people who would likely want nothing more than to kill her.

The opulent and plush settings within this guest room are only an illusion.

The words spoke by Sir Robar still remain clear in her mind, a steady reminder that things can change quickly and for now she lives.

And that, was the reality.

Those opinions that she's seen in the faces of those men and women here were simply those that most have refrained from speaking outloud since the Succession War. However, Gauvain was higher upon the dislike of most people in Galenthia - as it unfortunate as it is.

But the bigger question is how to use that to her advantage while still getting information to use when, not if, she manages to get away from this place.

There was a servant girl who brought in food and saw to it that the hearth was clear in case the temperatures dropped uncomfortably overnight. Perhaps, Claire might question her in attempts of obtaining ample paper and sketching materials to utilize.

Her brother might be the military tactician, but she isn't the sort to sit by idly under threat either. Threat of possible death by this man only known as 'The Prince' isn't the only cause to act.

She has only two weeks at the most.
