Well met, allies. I require a service. Infiltration of the palace was a success; however, during part of my daily tasks, I'd stumbled upon a number of burned letters in the hearth. There appears to be four participants, one of which we cannot identify.

We do not hail from these lands, but to my understanding, some of you may recognize details that would otherwise be mistaken for little to no significance.

[ There will be images of the scavenged scraps of paper, clearly charred. To those familiar with Earth writing from this period, the handwriting will look strangely modern. The writer may seem to even be attempting unsuccessfully to ape an earlier style, but he(?) can't quite manage it. ]


[ ooc: this is for the Royal Pain mission! Help a sister and her boys out? :> Also, Jon might be threadjacking, so if you want to speak to Dany specifically, make it a private message. ]

They're fairly well known names. What do you need to know?

[dorzalta]

Anything you might know about who they would ally themselves with.

[a tiny threadjack; hi arthur!]

[northerndragon]

They may be planning another escape attempt, so anyone who might help them with that in particular.

hey u two

[pointedlook]

Hm. At this point, they really didn't have a lot of people in their corner. I don't know too many details, but Marie had connections with her homeland, Austria. If there's anyone who might bail them out of a bad situation, that'd be the first place to look to. They're not exactly popular within their own court or with their own people.

Lafayette might intervene, but he was a pretty straightforward guy. Helped the Americans out in the Revolutionary War only to get back to France and end up in this mess. No doubt he'll try and protect the royals– no idea how far he's willing to extend that protection.

hi yew!

[dorzalta]

What of her brother? She'd made mention of him in a position of power one day in passing. Would he send an envoy to aid her?

[pointedlook]

That's got a high possibility. She might be the Queen of a different country, but blood ties were everything in this age. I sort of doubt her family would just be willing to let her suffer at the hands of the French.

[dorzalta]

Were my brothers still alive, I imagine we would offer one another aid as well if such circumstances arose.

[ Viserys... well, it was difficult to determine whether he would return the favor. Rhaegar sounded like a good man from what she'd heard from her advisors, however, and might protect her in the same way. ]

You've no mention of it in history of him offering his aid?

[pointedlook]

History mentions it. I'm just not sure if it will pan out the same way here, given the circumstances. We don't know if the regency will interfere and stop any aid from her family.
