CrazyEyedJon25minCommentedYou could always get Yemi to magically color Anaisa's hair a different... Oh right...
He discarded the thought quickly. Safety was paramount right now. Someone could still be out there wanting to kidnap the princess, and his wife looked close enough for a stranger to snatch her instead.- CrazyEyedJon27minCommented"Ready," He declared with a smile and a final–actual–look in the mirror. Although the uniform was uncomfortable, he had to admit he felt rather dashing. He wondered how Anaisa would like it.

Makes me wonder if it was a family member who somehow revealed his secret? The tragedy being, Dreamwalking is a power that could have been so easily concealed. NO ONE needed to know. And it wouldn't even be like he would have to stop using it. ...unless somone used MAGICAL means to find his secret...
It was an apt title, but one he would readily discard in exchange for a quiet life on a farm. Wouldn't he? - CrazyEyedJon34minCommented
That's probably a smart move, Trace doesn't have the best poker face when he's riled up...😤
He already felt intense anger and trepidation, and that was likely to only get stronger as he read the rest of the letter. The sudden change in demeanor would draw attention from others. That was even if Trace could find some sort of excuse or reason for it, which he couldn't. - CrazyEyedJon38minCommented
It certainly speaks of either somone who: 1) has events planned out with enough foresight to have already had arrangements in place before the meeting with the king even happened 2) Somone with enough resources and influence to make such arrangements at EXTREAMLY short notice OR 3) Somone so well prepared rhat they ALREADY had somine on the payroll who would be able to place the message, before the mastermind even knew they would need one, just because they're prepared for any contingency Any or all of the above speaks to somone that Trace is going to have extreme difficulty getting out from under 🫤
Trace glanced down. Garnering the delivery services of a child was one thing. But now, to plant a letter in the uniform that would become his, the blackmailer had to have known before the meeting what the outcome would have been, wouldn't he? - CrazyEyedJon5hReplied to TheOtherNobleIt was another note, in his blackmailer's handwriting.

- CrazyEyedJon6hCommentedIt was another note, in his blackmailer's handwriting.
- CrazyEyedJon6hCommentedTrace sighed and shook his head. Maybe this was the end. Maybe that was all the blackmailer truly wanted, to anonymously uncover the plot and save the kingdom from the grasp of its enemies?
- CrazyEyedJon6hCommentedAnd Trace, certainly, viewed his blackmailer as an enemy.
- CrazyEyedJon6hReplied to Ash_MonarchTrace had been so focused on his goal that he hadn't paid any attention to Anaisa's attire until she mentioned it. His eyes widened and he averted them.
- CrazyEyedJon6hReplied to Ash_Monarch
Yes. Yes it is.
That was promising. Or ominous. Trace wasn't entirely sure which. Surely the lord didn't think Trace was threatening the princess. That wouldn't make sense at all. - CrazyEyedJon1dCommented
Trace may be winging it, but SOMEONE around here has a plan it seems... Ke... Ke... Ke... Ke...
Unless his blackmailer wanted him here, at the heart of the palace. Why else have him uncover a plot and report it to the king, but to gain trust and credence? - CrazyEyedJon1dCommentedThe stiff white shirt was scratchy, though the weave was impressively tight. The breeches tucked into heavy, tall leather boots with shiny brass buckles. Over the shirt went a sleeveless blue tunic with brassy embroidery edging around the collar, armholes, and hem. He was issued a leather belt and a sheathed sword to strap onto it.
- CrazyEyedJon1dCommented"Bathe yourself before reporting to the Princess's chambers. Unless a more suitable bodyguard is found, you will have the job until further notice." King Harold declared. "Show him the way, and get him a uniform."
- CrazyEyedJon1dCommented
Awww, he gets to work with his wifey! 🤭 Of course, now he has to decide who he jumps in front of when the arrows start flying...? AAAAAAAAAAAND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuUuuuUUuUUUuUuU!
"Would you deem yourself fit to be a bodyguard for my daughter?" - CrazyEyedJon1dCommented"This man, Your Majesty, has shown some level of competence in uncovering a plot the rest of your guards failed to," A deeper voice put in.
- CrazyEyedJon1dCommented"Then find someone you can trust!" Princess Sapphira shot back. "Surely if you want me to stay in my room you'll have to command the guards to barricade me in anyway, would it be so difficult to let one follow me around instead of trapping me?"

"Gawd, I'm the target of ONE little kidnapping plot, and suddenly I'm grounded! 😤 Your so unfair, I'm telling Mom!"
"You're overreacting." The young woman rolled her eyes. "Besides, they've been caught now." - CrazyEyedJon1dCommented
That uppercut... it was like his fists were on fire! 🔥
"It happened so fast!"
