(During the events of COA; Beneath The Web)
"Everything's going smoothly thus far. I have done my fair share of getting things moving forward and eliminating those who couldn't be swayed to your side."
Quin announces herself as she enters the private lounge room of the Prince. Her usual tactful smile tinged with a dash of genuine emotion, like that of a little girl filled with merry. Of course, the young Grand Duchess remained composed and corteous but her excitement was palpable to him who's known her for a long while.
"You'll be hosting a royal hunt next, no? The real Excalibur is safely tucked away.. and Voracia has entrusted the spider monster in my care, I'll have it moved to the hunting grounds soon. My drones have stung it with enough venom to keep it docile and laying low until it's ready to be unleashed by my command."
She updates Orion regarding the preparations for the next step of his plan to curry favor amongst the people. Remaining professional and at ease, but if he were to look closely, he could see she's thrumming with gleefulness.
Heh, as expected of you..
*Hearing the voice alone is enough for Orion to figure out who's present. Courtesy that befits a Grand Duchess, which also serves as a layer that masks the genuine glee in the lady's tone.. Just like a coat of honey.*
Yes, the plan at the hunting grounds is next. If all goes well here, the odds will tip further to my favour.
*The Crown Prince has indeed grown accustomed to Quin's demeanour. While he pays it no mindβas it's not out of his ordinary, he doesn't ignore it entirely.*
With your contribution to set this plan in motion.. There's no need to worry, after all.
