Runaways

[***Stormchaser***]

James stood before his eldest brother, about ten years difference between the two, disturbed even further than usual by his behavior. The king's wife had recently passed, struck by disease that had also afflicted their unborn child. James had always liked his sister-in-law who was only five years older and though she and his brother were arranged she was like she had always been apart of the family. James was certain that his oldest brother harmed her, but had no proof and couldn't go against both of his brothers, the middle brother was also there-undyingly loyal as they were much closer in age than James was to either of them.
James tried to stay by his family, though he wasn't sure if he could this time as the king made his choice in a new bride, a princess of a neighboring kingdom who was even younger than himself. though not by much. He even threatened war and the neighboring kingdom did not have the military might if their own kingdom, it was more prosperous in fertile land while they were more so in weaponry.

camilla sat in the carriage outside the looming palace as the carriage man tried to beckon her out "can I have a minute" she said quietly staring at her hands
"you asked for a minute five minutes ago your highness please"

[***Stormchaser***]

"May I?" James asked, he had been waiting by the steps of the palace, sent to escort her to meet the king. It would several weeks before the actual ceremony, however the king thought it best to have her move now.
He stepped towards the carriage door.
"Hello, I'm Prince James. May I ask you for your name?"

[~Amber~]

she looked up at him "my names camilla" she said quietly getting out "I was told there is three of you which one are you?"

[***Stormchaser***]

"I am the youngest, most of the time I tend to travel, however with recent events I will be home for a while." He replied.

[~Amber~]

"I see..." she said following behind him slightly, obviously not at all thrilled to be here

[***Stormchaser***]

"I am sorry about this situation that you have been thrust into. I have no defense for my brother, I will be blunt, he is off his rocker, however I will do what I can to help you in any way."

[~Amber~]

"Why would you help me? what's the point?" She questioned quietly before falling silent as they got to the front doors

[***Stormchaser***]

"Because I know my brother and he will do little to help or guide you here."

[~Amber~]

"how charming of him" she grumbled before her expression went blank as they walked into the castle

[***Stormchaser***]

"I apologize, I only thought that you should at least be somewhat prepared."

[~Amber~]

"not easy to prepare for this" she sighing

[***Stormchaser***]

"I imagine not, though I feel as though you should at least know a little about him before meeting him."

[~Amber~]

"I've only heard the worst so far from most" she said quietly looking over at him

[***Stormchaser***]

He sighed but want sure what to say. He had no idea if there was any good in his oldest brother. He had never seen it.
