Duke Peter of Saschen-Vindow has called a celebratory Ball to be held in the honour of the Tradgardland Ambassador , Axel von Petersson. A masque was deemed the order of the day.
All began well with much jollity being had by those attending. Costumes had been created ,musicians rehearsed and food of a standard not seen in Saschen-Vindow for generations.
Duke Peter felt pleased as he surveyed the scene - it was indeed a fitting way to celebrate peace betwixt the two Duchies. Suddenly a woman's scream is heard above the revelry and all eyes focus upon the Tradgardland Ambassador writhing upon the floor ,clutching his throat with a broken glass in shards by his side...
Interesting times ahead...
ReplyDeletePerhaps an agent of the Duchess . . . or a vile Stagonian assassin . . . has been at work.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, this can't be good news for the Duke.

A dangerous place to live, many die suddenly and violantly in Tradgardland and its environs.
