Elizabeth Must Die!!!

But of course, what ever foul manner of weapon it may be it can cause me no harm.


Carefully removes the weapon from James and then wraps it in cloth.

Do you still have authority to act in Marie's stead? Can you order a cell prepared for this child?

I cannot imprison a Royal English bastard without Elizabeth's permission. *thinks long and hard over the irony of the situation*.

I wuldst think that since this person hath escaped from Elizabeth's custody against her will that twud be our duty to see him detained.

Perhaps not locked in a cell, but an apartment here in the palace?

You wish for me to grant this lunatic an apartment? I could not sleep for fear of being knifed!

Then what shall we do with him?

I reccomend we feed him to the Loch Ness monster!

Nessie? What hath she done to deserve such, he wilst most certainly upset her stomach

Well...
He has committed an offense against your person, has he not? As well as attempted assault and perhaps murder upon the Infante? And all these deeds have been done in thy realm? Surely, to protect yourself, he must be placed in some sort of custody.

And if we wish not to upset Nessie's stomach, I have some colonies plagued by giant lizards with huge pointy teeth.

Marie, my Queen, The Emperor speaks wisely. I think in this circumstance thou has a right to protect thineself.


*grins at Charles* Giant lizards did you say?

Bigger than a man! With teeth the size of my hand! They apparently lay about in the water, looking like logs, till some unfortunate creature comes to drink, then they drag it under. They are called, in Castillian, el legarto.

How fascinating, though unfortunate for the local populace. I doth so find strange creatures and foreign cultures intresting. I doth miss my journeys aboad ship.


As for this lizards *laughs* perhaps Elizabth shuld see some of the creatures installed in the mote of the Tower.

Why do you insist on attmepting to kill me...?

What have i ever done to you...?

Charles, where the bloody hell did you find giant lizards...?

And give me my knife back, it's particularly bad against vampires, Nicholas, no need to hurt yourself *Smiles and vanishes in a clap of thunder*

He asks a question, then vanishes. *sighs*
So, Sir Nicholas, it seems we have a problem.

Indeed it does Emperor. I doth not usually concider taking a life so lightly, but twud hath been better I fear if Elizabeth wuldst hath let me dispatch him whilst I had the chance.


I am affraid I am no diplomatic in the way in which I deal with those that threaten those I love, how wudst thou suggest we take care of this problem?

My preferred method involves the aforementioned giant lizards.
I know not how to deal with a young man who can disappear at will. The threat he poses is as well not focused on myself and my realms, but on those connect to her Grace of England.

I still believe Nessie is the best idea. She has been plaguing merchant ships and so has been on a strict no-human diet. But it is about tiem for her to have a little treat, we could get rid of James, and just in time for my birthday! What think you?

Well thou art the Queen ...

I believe Nessie would count as a giant lizard of some type.

I believe she would ... it seems we are all in favor then, now we just have to find him

Well, my lord, I doubt my methods will find a boy who can disappear at will. Yours?

I can try. I do have a certain talent for sensing when some are near, but they usually have to be reasonable close and usually it is someone I have a bond with.

What if I tell him that I wish his help in overthrowing Elizabeth? Then he shall be around me, who I HOPE you have a bond with!

I will happily provide however many very large German guards as may be of assistance *while beckoning one to bring back Fernandito*

On a happier note, my dear Marie, have you set a date for your formal marriage? I do love weddings!

*Bird lands on Marie. A letter tied to it's leg* Nice try, but unless you can get to the alps, you'll never find me...
