Re: (IC) 1: The Rescue
Ah yes, we were discussing the terms of our agreement. For you to receive the return of your two hunters, as well as the power I am offering, the price to settle our debt would your choice of one of the following three options. Without warning, the clouds in his eyes dissipate and you can finally see his eyes for the first time. A mostly black center with a thin stripe of red running the perimeter of each eye. His face contorts, as he stands up with alacrity, his crooked staff standing on its own upright.
It is ultimately your decision on which one you choose, however know this your highness. Should you try to deceive me, I will know it child. I've been playing this game almost twice as long as you you've been alive. Don't make me come get my due. With that, he sits back down, lays his right hand back upon his walking stick, and smiles.
Ah yes, where were we:
The first of three, of the decisions for thee, is this: When you marry, (and marry you must), and become Queen of the Feywild, your legitimate first born will be given to me. As such, this first born will be the heir to the throne of the Summer Seelie Court, thus making my family, the royal family from that point on. As you know, it does not matter in the Feywild if the heir is a boy or girl.
The second of three, of the decisions for thee, is this: You will marry my son, and as the heir to the royal throne, my son will then become King. Once the ceremony is complete, you may leave and live out your life as you wish, and my son will find a new Queen. This will make my family, the royal family.
The third and final of three, of the decisions for thee, is this: You fully give up your right to bear children and to marry entirely. In doing so, as you know per Feywild rules, should the Queen not be able to marry or produce an heir, then the royal family's rights are forfeit and that would make MY family next in line to become the ruling royal family.
What is your decision, your highness?
