The guards weren't too rough, they didn't need to be. Emperor Constantine IX and Empress Emora looked to be farther and farther away. They threw James into the back of a wagon that was headed to the Arena. The guards didn't even bother to escort the wagon, they just left, the peasant man on the horse would just ride to the Arena. It was getting later into the afternoon, five o'clock kind of. The Emperor and the Empress left to his room with his wife. Along the way, he spoke to her about the Senate. He mentioned her being the only adviser he would ever need. OOC: Exit to Emperor Constantine's Chambers!

Vortex opened the back door and snuck into the kitchen, he didnt know why but this was a lot more fun than explaining himself to the guard at the front entrance. He opened picked up an apple and started to peel it, a small part of him didnt want to return to work and prefered the freedom of rome but he had taken an oath and couldnt just run away

A fellow guard, though not in armor, walked by. "Good, you're back. I've come to give you a heads up. There is a change in leadership, Emperor Constantine IX is the new ruler," he said. Palace Guards needed to be the first to know, since their job was to protect and serve the Rulers of Rome.

"oh, well the polotics dont really intrest me" he ate the apple peel and started to cut up the bulk of it up "so, where is my mistress? In her room?" After all, he swore an oath to princess butterfly not the actual rulers of this empire

"Not sure, she could be. If not, I am sure she couldn't have gone far," said the guard. He turned around and headed off to guard the Emperor's Door, seeing that when the Emperor and the Empress wanted "time to themselves", they would get it. That was his post for now, like many guards and their posts.

He followed him to his post, still eating his apple and nodded to the other guards at their posts "So, who are you guarding?" He stuck the knife he'd been using to peel the apple into the doorframe and put his ear up to the door "Some fat slob and his hot mistress?" He pulled away and looked at the guards "Must suck having to listen to some disgusting old guy do it, and the worst is you've seen him, i can only imagine his sweaty rolls of fat smothering the poor girl as she lays there faking it" He cracked up and started laughing at the image

"Silence, do you want to get executed? He is no fat slob, he is our Emperor, and you must treat him like he is," said the guard. The guard then straightened himself up, his spear close and pointed up. A casual guard position in case the two co-rulers were to step out.

"Emporer?" He burst out laughing, accidntally spitting apple out on the guards armor "Sorry, i just imagined the little fatso wobbling around with a crown on" He slammed his fist against the door as he tried to stop laughing "I bet he looks like a blob, stubby little arms and legs with no neck..." He sides were starting to hurt from his self induced laughter

He had already stopped laughing "Whats wrong with you? dont appologise for other people its rude, now i look like a jerk" For a moment he looked like he was really offended but that quickly passed "Im bored with palace life, there a mercanary guild around here?" He looked at the guard and scrached his chin

"You fool, you will be executed for such arrogance. You are in the home of Emperor Constantine, unless you want to die early, I recommend you stay quiet," said the guard. The guard returned his security position, his mouth shut closed, he didn't want to talk any longer. Guarding the Emperor was an honor, an honor that shouldn't be insulted by any means.

James walked back into the Palace. it was hard to leave Alitia but it had to be done. He looked around at the guards. They had less then he would have expected. Likely because the only guards worth watching were guarding the emperor. He had figured after the last experience he would have to try a more diplomatic approach. He walked up to one of the guards and tilted his head. "When exactly will the Emperor be returning." James asked. His plan was simple, ask the Emperor for Greece back. If he said no then well I guess James would be screwed. Then he would ask him another question. The second a little less political. The man was known as the Holy Roman Emperor so he might have an answer. James stared at the guard waiting for an answer.

Vortex walked out of the kitchen carring a bottle of wine he taken from the cellar, chances are he could fill it with something else and replace it before anyone noticed. As he left a small corridor, he walked past a mute guard and a strange man in a heated staring contest, he stopped unable to continue until he knew who won

James continued to stare at the guard "I can do this all day..." He mumbled not blinking. Then the guard blinked and james smiled "Smart man." James turned to Vortex "Sup." He said as he walked over to the throne and sat in it waiting. One thing every ruler did now and then was sit in his throne. If James was in it he would find the ruler sooner or later. He set his sword and shield down next to him and set his axe on the armrest. His whip was still wrapped around his waist.

He followed the man to the throne and looked at him "Careful guards dont like people like us" He smiled and pulled the cork out of the wine bottle with his teeth, he looked at the mans sword "Can I?" He held out his left hand to take the blade

James picked up his sword and tossed it to the man. He looked around at the guards staring at him. In his head he was making a plan just incase they tired to harm him.
