Princess Aliamine Alexston

Subject: Princess Aliamine Alexston Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:31 pm

Aliamine has had trouble sleeping due to the pressure of taking on the Queen's duties, and her father falling deeper into the world of whores and drink.
Met with Mereavus and Lethoden in the courtyard and discussed morning events.
Moved to the council chamber with Mereavus and Lethoden to talk over what the Saegar plan to do with the Queen. They spoke of the King going too far, and attempted to formulate a plan to stop the Saegar getting their hands on the Queen.
Aliamine expressed that she wanted to visit and speak to the Cinn in hopes that they would know of something that could help. Mereavus strongly disapproved and suggested they begin by talking to one of the dark-skinned strangers that have arrived in Knoxwater. Aliamine wished to go alone to speak with them, Mereavus advised against it.
Lethoden proposed they bring one to the castle and question them, that way no one would be put in unnecessary danger. Aliamine thought it was a good idea.
Despite several warnings and Mereavus' fear for her safety, Aliamine disguised herself in her leathers and headed to the local inn in hopes that she could speak to the Innkeeper, Godaivah. Sarah, Aliamine's Lady-in-Waiting, covered for her by saying she was resting in her room due to a migraine. She left note with Mereavus of her whereabouts.

Aliamine arrived at the local Inn, in disguise and using her middle name, Monarda. She met General William Alexston and the Innkeeper, the dark skinned woman she had been looking for. She discovered that there was an army of 2000 men camped outside of the city.
She discovered that the name of these dark skinned strangers was the Meloni. They come from the west. Al told Godaivah, who had introduced herself as "Ivah", to be wary of the General, despite him not sharing the same views as the Church. She requested to speak to Ivah in private later, and questioned General Alexston as to why the Church had summoned them.
Al is pleased she will have some information to relay to Mereavus, but has fears that the Meloni are no way connected to the Cinn and thus, will not have information that can help her.
After some more conversation, the General leaves and Aliamine speaks with Godaivah in private. She asks if her people know anything of the Cinn. Disappointed that the Innkeeper had no idea what she was talking about, Aliamine had a small breakdown as she realised there may be no hope for her mother. But, she has thought of something that could buy them more time. After that, she left the Inn to return to the castle.

Aliamine returned to the castle, and attempted to head to her bedroom unnoticed. Caught by her cousin, Princess Esibel, which turned into a rather heated argument. Mereavus appeared and was not amused. After Esbiel left, Mer and Al moved to the council chamber where she relayed the information she had gathered and explained her idea. The idea being, that if they told the Saegar the Queen had been cursed by the Crann, then it might hold them off from wanting to perform an exorcism. After a bit of scolding from Mereavus, Aliamine retired to her room to clean herself up and think things over.

After a long day of work and without any more "adventures", Aliamine retired to the throne room in order to read through her letters. Interrupted by General Alexston and eventually her cousin, they all conversed before heading to dinner. Esibel and Aliamine argued, again and the younger Robarthe left her and the General alone.
The alone time, after some more conversation, turned into alone time after Aliamine took the General to the library to show him a painting. They shared a kiss before they headed to Aliamine's bedchamber and became more intimate. Afterwards, Aliamine fell asleep and was stricken with terrible nightmares of the marshes.

Aliamine awoke early from her nightmares and spent the next morning rather shaken. She spoke to her cousin in the courtyard and discovered Esibel had also had a similar nightmare. Her cousin fearing she had gone mad raised questions about the Cinn, Saegar, God and the Mother. Aliamine comforted her as best she could.
Later that evening, Aliamine met Culpepper and Mereavus. Mereavus was acting strange, and Al sensed something was wrong. She was compelled to hug her but was soon pushed away and Mereavus left. With that, Aliamine decided to go get ridiculously drunk with the Duke.
The next morning, Aliamine finished her morning duties, severely hungover. She bumped in to General Alexston who overheard her talking to herself about her dream. After a little questioning, Al told him about her dream. He explained to her the voice had the accent of a Cinn. Al ended up having a panic attack after she remembered the horrid red dog and William took her up to her bedchamber, where they spoke about what could be the cause of the dreams.
Aliamine reasoned that the Crann were the only plausible connection to the Cinn that were in the castle. The General went to investigate when the Crann in Al's bedroom lashed out at him. The strange voice from Al's nightmares called out to them. Afraid, Al grabbed what she could from her chest and her and the General fled from the castle. They are now at his camp just outside Knoxwater.

Aliamine was visited by Carrigan, known as the Red Witch during her first night at the camp. They talked. General William Alexston returned to his tent to find a scared Al. After an awkward personal conversation, they ended up having sex. The next morning, desperate to find out answers about the Red Witch...Aliamine did a horrible thing. She blackmailed William to take her to Witchmeadow, despite his orders to keep her at the camp. Threatening to destroy not only his career, but his life by saying that he raped her, Aliamine was taken to Witchmeadow.
Once they arrived at Witchmeadow, Aliamine was in such a state she would stop at nothing to enter the village. She was about to charge her horse through the gate when Mereavus arrived with a collection of Knoxwater riders. They caught Aliamine and forcibly took her back to the castle.
She was kept in her room for several days. Mereavus finally visited and Al went over what happened. She left out certain parts, then asked if she could leave her room. Mereavus allowed her to, but on the condition that she have one of the guards escort her.
Aliamine travelled to William's camp to see how he was. After a difficult conversation and a resulting argument, she tried her best to apologise for what she did. It seemed it worked and the pair hugged. William apologised, Aliamine told him he had nothing to apologise for. Bless 'im.

Aliamine returned to the castle after speaking to William and found Mereavus to tell her she was back. Mereavus brought up the awkward subject of finding Ali a husband, and eventually drew out the truth about her sleeping with William. Mereavus said they had no choice but to marry. Aliamine then had the fun task of trying to persuade William it was the best idea.
She went to his camp and explained what was going to happen. As expected, he wasn't happy about it. Aliamine wasn't too fond of the idea, either. But they had no choice. Now Aliamine has a wedding to plan and needs to hope to God she isn't pregnant.

Aliamine was a little hesitant to start planning her wedding. She met the new Advisor, Caterina but the pair got off to a rocky start. Mereavus 'accidentally' insulted William and Aliamine left. She later met with Esibel, who had been asleep for days and explained everything that had happened with William and the wedding arrangements.
Aliamine had her dress fitting for the wedding and spoke with Mereavus about various things. Eave gave her the something borrowed, new, old and blue. William arrived later that day and they talked about what she needed from him to be a good husband, and explained why he thought he wouldn't be one. Slightly awkward considering the last conversation they had, but it went smoothly enough.
The Princess was visited in the night by Diultach, the 'Red Witch', Cinn. They talked for a while until the Cinn showed her a vision of Mereavus raping a woman named Violet. Annoyed by the accusations, Aliamine wanted her to leave. She wouldn't, so Ali struck out with a knife and called for the guards, resulting in the Cinn leaping from the window.
William was then called to stay with Aliamine in a spare bedroom during the night, to offer extra protection should the Cinn return. On the first night, Aliamine was a little drunk and decided to take advantage of the situation. Apparently encounters with the Cinn woman made her a little...excitable.
Aliamine went to apologise to Caterina for her cold welcome. Mereavus interrupted, showed them documents from the Church accusing her and various things with women, and told them that she would have to leave, and if she didn't return by morning assume she is dead. The two woman covered for her that evening, worried about her.
Mereavus returned the next morning, mostly unscathed and Aliamine was pleased to see her. However, she'd been so confused about the vision the Cinn had shown her she had to bring it up , which led to questions about Diultach being Mereavus' daughter, Carrigan. Mereavus left and Aliamine felt awful.
Not having the best of days, Aliamine later walked in on Mereavus and Cardinal Barric Maven almost in the throws. Her cycle having started, she was full of hormones and now mentally scarred from what she had seen. She fled to the courtyard to find Caterina speaking with William, and jumped to horrible conclusions. She threatened Caterina, smacked William and stormed off to the throne room. Caterina soon followed her and Aliamine confessed she had been jealous of the woman since she arrived, claiming that Caterina was "Everything they wish she was." Even though they patched things up, Aliamine is still a little unsure about her due to the fact that Mereavus told Caterina about her having slept with William.
Her attempt to apologize to William after the accusation of cheating didn't turn out too well. She spoke with Mereavus who gave her a better insight into William's mindset, and told her to try to find out who she is without the Princess label. Later that night, Aliamine laid out a romantic apology with food, ale, furs and straw for William. The two talked happily and William soon proposed properly, with a rather large diamond ring.
One thing led to another and the pair were about to spark up more physical activities. They entered the bath, and Aliamine went to spank the General. A trigger left over from war activated and he caught her wrist, almost raising a fist to her. Afterwards he was distraught and had little idea where he was. Aliamine was terrified.
Aliamine spent several days after that 'unwell' in her bedroom, and she had made sure to go to sleep before William arrived for the night. She eventually lost track of time and tried to find out what William was thinking and feeling about the whole situation. Like getting blood out of a stone, Aliamine didn't succeed and only made things worse between them.

[I have been terrible with character updates! The updates below are relevant to November 2011]

After returning from her little 'adventure' to the Cinnradel Academy, Aliamine has had little luck deciphering the Cinn books she took in an attempt to find something to help her mother.
Aliamine's cycle hasn't started and she leads to the conclusion that she is pregnant. The same day, Carrigan visits her and asks if she will come with her to visit Mereavus. Aliamine agrees, the meeting doesn't go well. Mereavus doesn't appear too happy to know that Carrigan is back. Afterwards, Aliamine tells Mereavus she is pregnant.
Aliamine tells William she is pregnant. But their moment of happiness is short lived when she realises she has to tell her father. William goes with her for support to visit the King. She gives the King and Mereavus the news. Her father acts strangely kind, which Aliamine doesn't take well to. She has an outburst and berates her father for his absence and his actions. She then leaves.
Aliamine meets Novel Hodder and her daughter, Raevyn, in the lounge and after Mereavus leaves, conducts Novel's interview for a job as Governess. Aliamine likes her and gives Novel the good news the next morning.
She meets Novel later in the gardens and the two chats over lunch. Carrigan arrives, but Aliamine soon has errands to attend to.
Aliamine meets with her father the next day, and apologies for her conduct. She also forgives him. The King offers her an apology, too. The pair have an intimate moment and decide to move forward with their father-daughter relationship.
Aliamine meets with Mereavus in the Advisor's bedchamber along with the new attendant Osanna. They discuss the latest goings on. Aliamine feels a little annoyed that William has spent so much time away.
