The Prince and the King

And two beats later Clovis found himself in orbit, and gaining altitude with each failure to hit the ground.

Role a nat 1 on that intelligence roll now didn’t he?

Jade: "I'm not royalty. I'm 'just' the Commander." *throws him over mountain*

HOW TALL IS SHE 😍

I want to see them fight with swords ⚔️

Time for a quick round of Fox Yeeting! I wonder if our glorious King can break her old record this time...

Jade, probably: damn to the depths whatever muttonhead thought up parlay!

Off with his head

Adelaide's thoughts: "I've eaten steaks bigger than this."

well i see clovis is scared of our sire here i know i wouldn't mind serving under her being what she needs: a guard a gatherer a royal courier or a friend for her and her daughter and i'd also happily be a jeweller for her if she so wishes

Welp goodbye Clovis he is probably not getting away with it unless she takes her eyes off of him. Then maybe he weasels his way out

At least Clovis had the dignity to cover up his ankles.

Clovis: “I though you’d be shorter…” Adelaide: “and I thought you’d be taller.”

I don't think she holds with the Pirate's code, Clovis XD

Adelaide: *Sighs* You know... I'm not even angry. If anything, I'm... disappointed. Clovis: *Struggling, starting to whimper a bit* Please, Y-Your Highness. I'm sure we can come to some... Wait, what did you say? Adelaide: *Starts gesturing with her speech, seemingly "forgetting" she's still holding Clovis by the scruff of the neck* I mean, is this really all I'm worth? Is this how little my enemies think of me, how low they hold me in their regard? One puny little puffed up crime boss with a single poisoned dagger? That's it? Clovis: *Somehow flipped onto his back, frantically holding the collar of his cloak from his windpipe* H-Hey! I'll have you know that I'm-Ulp! Adelaide: *Continuing to gesticulate wildly, growing more despondant* I mean, I train day in and day out for years to meet any challenge thrown at me. I mean, look at this! *Undoes her chestplate with her free hand to expose her shredded midriff and heaving bound chest* Clovis: *Eyes widen* Oh... Ooh woof... Yipe! Adelaide: *Continues her melodramatic diatribe, still flinging Clovis around like a stuffed toy that's upset her* Not to mention training a personal guard of the strongest and most capable soldiers in the world. Turning my own daughter into a spy and assassin second only to myself. And yet, when the time finally comes for them to make their move, I get... THIS?! Clovis: *Thoroughly dazed from being thrashed so much* Now, yer majesty. I thin' mebe yer bein' a lil too hard on YIP! Adelaide: *Collapses into her throne, thoroughly depressed* You know what? You're not even worth it. I could do any number of unspeakable things to you; send you to the dungeons to be tortured for the rest of your short, miserable life, or have you executed in any number of agonizing and creative ways, challenge you to a fair match in the arena just so I could have the pleasure of doing you in myself. But... No. If this is all I have to look forward to... If this is the best those numbskulls who plot against me can muster up... Just... Just... Oh, get out of here! *Grabs Clovis around the middle and yeets him out the throne room window like a javelin.* Adelaide then drowned her sorrows in the royal larder's entire supply of ice cream.

"If you insist on trying to kill me, we'll make it official. You have one week supervised to train. See you in the arena."

The ‘Prince of Coins’ is going to get a promotion. He’s about to become the ‘King of Pain’.

Adelaide must be wondering by now why so many Keidran think females are weak.

Any bets how far Clovis can fly? XD

Adelaide: "Ever had a building dropped on you?"

Throw him

She could kill him, but Lynn would have to remind her it would be considered bad luck on her name day. He'll recommend instead that she make him the court jester, which she accepts. Jade: "Did you hear my messenger, Ser Clovis? From this day, you will be my new Fool."

In the backround General Ambassador Keith Keiser and Natani (having special status because Keith's position) are sitting and eating popcorn Madelyn: "What is going on?!" Natani: "Clovis insulted your mother" Madelyn: "We have to stop them!" Natani: "Why?" Madelyn: "Because it's a diplomatic incident!" Keith: "This bastard almost killed Maeve and her mother during the time we were in human teritory" Madelyn: "...Hey, mom! Don't kill him! I'll call Maeve's mom!"

Puny folf, you call that a knoife! Jade is so tall!

Clovis: “Just wait until my men get—oh, right.”

And that's what misogyny gets you, Clovis.

Adelaide:you know what assuming does right?it makes a ass out of yourself.not like you had a brain anyways clovis.

"I assure you, fox, that I WOULD be in the mood for parley on principle.' 'However, your attempted assassination occured in the middle of my afternoon tea. For this, no punishment is too small." Never disturb the King and her tea.

I totally could see him making such a huge mistake, lol.

Adelaide: "Oh look, a bug."

Fling him against the wall like a hackey sack
