Why are we here just to suffer?
Why are we here just to suffer?
Guin has never felt more betrayed in her entire life. She silently gaped at Twig as soon as he finished his statement. Of course she could detect the skittish glint in his eyes and this might be his retribution for her earlier prank, but she couldn't believe he'd actually joke about it. King Valentines has always been an infuriating subject for her, and almost everyone in her circle was well aware this. Once she managed to compose herself, the Queen narrowed her eyes at the Jack. "What a distasteful jest, Twig. I thought we were like family." She pointed out with a light scowl. This was almost as bad as when he drew his sword against her all those years ago. However, her anger was obviously empty- unlike before- and her frown eventually softened.
Tonight was the night. There was no way Guin was going to forget about it. She along with the rest of the kingdom, the Jokers, and its affiliates have long hauled themselves over this. The amount of sweat and blood they've poured for this operation was immense, so there was no room for failure. It was honestly what churned the dread within her. If they win this, then the future of Ornare would be in the palm of their hands.
She deeply sighed. "There's so much to be done. Where are the rest of the royalties?" She asked as she looked around the otherwise empty room. She knew they weren't technically late yet, but she thought they'd at least make sure to come early. She was well aware Valencia's mountainous terrain and hazardous pathways might be difficult to traverse but that was exactly what their esteemed airships were for.
As if on cue, Guin abruptly felt the familiar signature of none other than the King of Clubs. She took in a sharp breathe and mentally prepared herself for what was to come. She didn't know if he was here to answer her summon or actually attend the royal meeting. She could hope for both but she didn't really expect much from the man when it came to royal etiquette. Heck, he admittedly hung out with pigeons instead of attending the royal conference five years ago, right before the war. He was horribly irresponsible. Although she did wonder why he would donate a huge sum of money to her country's orphanage. Could it possibly be a political move? King Valentines may be an oaf, but she knew he wasn't as dumb as he let others see.
