The four knights with Sir Vincent were interesting in their differences. The eldest and most quiet was Sir Robert. He had seen some of the world, and he wore his beard long and thick with pride. Of all the knights, he seemed to be the one who Sir Vincent sought out for advice the most.
The next oldest, and perhaps the closest to Vincent's age, was Sir Charles. He had the look of an aristocrat to him and was always teasing the youngest two. He wore one of those chin-beard goatees that made him look like, well, a goat. When he wasn't in his armor he seemed to be fashionably dressed, and he was always at the castle balls and other fancy functions.
Two knight apprentices, barely old enough to have graduated from squirehood, rounded out the group. Blond Michael was the one who dropped his rock on his foot - he seemed a bit gangly and too long-limbed for his body. The other boy was Henry, a fresh-faced, dark haired lad perhaps barely nineteen who seemed like he was too gentle to be on the wielding end of a sword.

As he stripped off his shirt, scars were visible across his back and sides. They were simple things expected from anyone who had spent time in the battlefield. Lovise might have had one or two of her own. One scar stood out, though; on his right shoulder blade the swirled cross, a sign of Cadeyrn's Clan, was branded. The second son of Guorthigern had made a name for himself as a ruthless, godless, and merciless warrior. Rumor had it that he had been betrayed by one in his close circle less than ten years ago. The traitor had escaped, but not before separating Caderyrn from his left hand.
Gultaem (Meatlug backwards) had a sister who was Trimmastotter. His name is Valorn, son of Guorthigern, of Cadeyrn's Clan.
Marcus' mother is Duchess Georgina, his father was Samuel, younger brother of King Gregory.

Maybe the lover killed the first wife, afraid that the king would change his preferences and choose her over him? The king of course would not know that; he's too busy ruling his kingdom. Maybe he's motivated by money and power.
Once the kind is dead and the queen the suspect, we'll have to figure out a way to reveal the prince's part in the regicide.
Sounds like a plan to me! Haha, if they haven't managed to sleep together at that point, she could always just lie about the pregnancy and tell Marc to "get busy" before someone does the math.
I figured that we could have some of his friends in the knighthood (people who would know that he could never let her kill the king, let alone be part of it) helping them from the inside. You know, feeding them information, giving them supplies and money, doing some minor investigations.
I like the idea of a supporting cast in the way of the knights. Also, the adviser/lover could have his own followers too; people who might see the son as a perfect puppet for their plans.
I think that we have a good foundation. Would you like to start the thread? maybe... hm. Should we start when she's out running around and he goes to bring her back, or when he is assigned to guard her 24/7?
Why not both? She's run off again and the king, fed up with the whole thing, gives Sir Marc his assignment starting with "Go get her". I'm thinking he's out with a group of his buddies, all 'looking' for her. She probably has a favorite place to run to (probably a nice camp in the woods near some game she can hunt) so the knights all know where to find her and it's not too high-pressure.
I like that. They might even have an understanding between the queen and her 'rescue squad', ha!
Okay, I think that we're ready.
