Anisa

The date was December 17th. Anisa was still in Blisbane. Unforeseen circumstances (impromptu dealmaking) necessitated staying in the capital, the O Glorious Scumland, longer. She wanted to see her completed renovations. Blisbane was 4 times larger than Felkner, and technically had double the police, but they were half as effective. Not to mention all the manure. O, the manure. If there was one thing she could be thankful for the Felkner Vanguard Guild for doing, it was assisting in shovelling manure. One of the first things she’d do as queen is introduce a manure tax to all major cities, not just Felkner.

A raven arrived:

For kidnapping, assault, burglary, breaking and entering, Samantha is to be executed. You are welcome. To watch. December 23rd, 10:30 AM, Northpoint Academy Administrative Building, Southeast of the Hot Plot.

I hope to see your beautiful face again soon.

‘Beautiful face’. Damn. Was this a valid route, too?

No, it was empty flattery, and she cursed herself for thinking of it as anything else.
