The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
Her smile only grew, her excitement shining in her eyes and she had to refrain from clapping her hands once together. She took a sharp breath and pressed her lips together for a moment before she was back to beaming. “You will do well,” she hoped that Scout knew the trust that this also took.
“And I hope that you’d offer a helping hand and watchful eye for Lady Bellerose. Those here can have their own agendas… even if they seem to be similar to our own. Which I know is a lot to ask with taking on a new role, but with a friend… I figured it might not be so bad.” She shifted in her seat, as she felt a bit of relief. But still held her back straight. “Anything you need, please ask. We have many of resources.”

Scout hadn't felt like this since she was a teenage girl. She felt giggles in her stomach. She was very thankful and grateful for this chance Iliana was giving her.
She smiled widely. Her cheeks were hurting from the smiling. She nodded at Iliana. "Thank you, truly", she said. She was aware of the trust Iliana put in her.
"I will." It sounded fun, even, to work together with Florina. Scout wanted what was best for the people of Lorendale, and the Gifted. As Advisor of Law, she would be able to do even more than as Lady Steward, especially when working closely together with the queen and the Advisor of Gifted. "Until there is a new Lady Steward, I will of course still try to help in those ways as well. Perhaps Lady Cahaya Sinaga could be of service as well."
"Thank you, I'll ask." And she had one ask already. "Are Lady Saelim's documents still in her office? In that case, I'll look through them to prepare myself."

There was an excitement buzz between the two of them. And once they seemed to catch her breath, she was glad that Scout was already on it. The Queen’s head dipped once to signal she understood and accepted the assistance of Cahaya. “That is a good idea,” could even be a chance to prove something. But she kept it tucked away. Her mind had been shifting pieces all day. Something already on her mind.
“Her work and papers should all be there. She wasn’t reported to have left with anything that she shouldn’t have. And for the time being, I have the registry. But that’ll be in your care soon.”

She was glad that she could be if assistance by suggesting Cahaya, but would, like she had said, still assist as much as she could with Steward-like tasks until the queen could find someone else for the position.
She then inquired about lady Saelim's documents, which apparently were nearly left behind, which spared them a lot of hassle. The prospect of having the registry in her care was a thrilling thought. She had asked to look at it once, and that request had been denied, but soon she could look at it all she wanted. Not that she had a specific reason to do so. It would be exciting to see who was registered that she didn't know about, but she wouldn't use that information against said people.
"Perfect", she responded with a smile. "Then I should be able to start without an issue."
Iliana let a small silence spread between them, still feeling proud of her making these decisions. It was just a moment longer before she’d have to press on. But she let it linger for a moment.
“Your first task, would be on helping with Oriana. It was told to me she is still being held and awaiting judgement or trial.” She eased the information out there. Oriana was someone close to a few people it seemed, and yet mostly she had felt sorrow for not the woman but for the man who clearly cared for her. Remiel. He was a whole other situation.

The name Oriana had her biting the inside of her cheek. She did not like Oriana, for multiple reasons. Scout would have to put her opinions aside to give her a fair trial, which she would do. Like Iliana, she knew Oriana was close to quite some people, but perhaps she had ruined that bond by what she had done after the address.
Scout nodded at the queen. "I will head over to my new office", she assumed switching offices would be easier, because then documents wouldn't have had to be carried over, "and get familiar with the case and other paperwork. Shall I meet with you tomorrow?"
After discussing when they would meet, and after saying goodbye, Scout would leave Iliana's room with a warm feeling and excitement about what was to come.
