Roleplays discussion

((It's the middle ages, the time of prince and princesses. There's scandal about the towns, balls to attend, even the deathly plauge. Princess and Princes married young, the death penalty was still in place with hanging, ect.
You get the picture (: ))

Aria walked into the gardens, enjoying the slight breeze through her hair.

William sat in the depest darkest part of the castle. The gaurds had thrown him down in here, forcing him to wait for death.

Hannah had been sent to bring some food to a prisoner

Will stared at his scarred hands. Against orders the gaurds had beaten him. He tried to move but only found pain.

She knocked on the door out of habit

He glanced up. "... Enter?"

"sorry... I brought lunch"

William nodded. "Fine."

She set it down and stepped back, her hair falling in her face.

"Thanks.."

"your welcome. So why are you in here if I may ask?"

"Plans of rebellion against the king. I'm to be hanged within thirty days."

"oh" she mumbled

"Dont be upset, young miss, no tears will be shed over my death,"

"someone must miss you" she said

He shook his head. "My family's dead. I've no one to love, no one to care about but my horse."

"why not sir?"

"Because women are insane." Will let out a bitter laugh.

"true enough"

He raised a brow at her. "I'm atleast three years your seinor. Yet you agree?" he arched a brow.

She nodded "I've met many women in my life time. I may be female but I am not so thick that I do not realize my own faults."

"The faults of your gender." he corrected.

"true enough"

"Youre very intellegent for a child your age."

"I wouldn't call myself a child for I do not believe I had what you would call a 'childhood'"

"You're, what, thirteen? That's definately a child."

"16."

"Still not legally of age." he shrugged. "Still full of youth and life. More childish than a man who'll be hanged before he sees his twentieth birthday within two month's time."

"You call this life?" She questioned "Living in servants quarters, spending your days dealing with dying or violent prisoners with the only other options being a princess who thinks that everything I do is wrong?"

He shrugged. "A princess would be a more comfortable way. But you choose to live like this. That's your own problem."

"I'd still be in the servants quarters, but I tend to meet nicer prisoners."

"Hm." he said. "I'll be sure to be kinder to you, so that I might get an alright meal the morning before I head to the gallows."

"So now there is a set date for your hanging?"

"Always has been," he replied. "It'll be the twenty-seventh of October, from what they tell me."

"And today is? I've never kept very good track."

"The twenty-nineth of September, madam." he replied.

"Ah." She said

"So I have about twenty-eight days of life, all of them spent here." he said, his usually bright blue eyes now dulled with depression.

"Well there must be something to do...how often do guards check on you anyway?"

"Every hour or so. Trust me, it's best not to get attatched. I'll be gone soon."

"Why would I want to?"

"My point."

"I'm going to go noe."

"Hannah?" aria called, her voice echoing through the walls of the dungeons

"Good evening." he responded, picking up his bit of bread.

Hannah ran over to Aria

"where were you?!" Aria asked "I've been looking everywhere for you!!"

"How often do the guards check for prisoners?" She asked

Will nibbled on his food, looking around in the darkness.
