"Oh, spies, nothing! I'm something of one myself, and I tell you, I don't think they really care or even know about us anymore. The last time I was seen, I was a babe in arms.
I can disguise myself, if need be."

"Amala! It's simply too dangerous, I won't allow it, and that's final. I will continue with my plans as before, you must stay out of the light, you are not ready."

She narrowed her eyes.
"Continue as before! That's all we've ever done! How long do we wait? Until you pass on and I become a hundred years old? By then, the kingdom will have a new set of problems! And I'll be alone."
((She is totally going to go rebellious princess on you, ha.))

"That won't happen" he replied darkly "we need to begin spreading rumors, or the truth, although the people of Lorien seem content with this king they wont be if they find he's no better than the last."
((He's err immortal, odd things happened and Eddy's immortality transferred to him after a battle with a demon.. yea.))

Amala shook her head.
"Yes, yes. You can wait forever, but I can't. When is my life supposed to begin?"
She heaved a sigh, calming herself.
"You know rumors don't have the right power."

"They will if their presented as fact" he said ignoring her previous comments "I had an idea" he began to pace "a book. The people here love to read, as why I've stayed in business as long as I have. I'll write a book about the corruption of the regime under a pseudonym and refuse to sell it in my shop, bringing it to the attention of the king. It should be enough I hope to finally get a true audience with him."

She was a bit irritated that he ignored her comment about time, but didn't comment on it.
"All right. And then?"

"Then we begin to gather up followers, people who feel as we do, we convince them you are the true heir. Shouldn't be too hard, between our charms and intelligence, the slow people of this country will easily fall under us."
He touched his daughters arm "Amala, I promised you from the time you were a little girl that you would rule this kingdom and I do not plan on going back on it."

"Isn't there anything I can do?" She said, calming even more.
"I don't like all this skulking about and feeling useless."

"My dear, you continue showing your face in every social circle that you can, charming these warriors and beating them at their own game. The whole kingdom shall know your name and soon."

"I'm not a charmer," she said, smirking.
"They don't like having around a woman who is their match in warfare. But in any case, you're the charming one, not I."

"Oh they like it, just not in the way we wish" he replied vaugely "and you can be as charming as I, with a little training."
Leaning against a pillar he smiled "Must I remind you, in my previous life I had 100 of you."

"My, my," she tsk'd. "But I don't know that I'd be so exciting to some."
Not that I've had a chance to, not with the men around here.
"In any case, I suppose I could hunt for spies watching us. It would give me something to do."

"Just be cautious my daughter" Ramses turned serious "and do not forget your every day's, if we change our routines unexpectedly, it will give our enemies more reason to suspect us."

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"I know that, I've been doing that for years. But maybe, if I can catch one, we can interrogate him or her."
