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!

Acacia was at the farm picking flowers for her shop when Victor walked by. She could sense that he was upset about something and while she didn't particularly care about the man, she approached him.
"Mister Creedy, are you okay?" she asked the man who was clutching something in his hand.
"No, actually", the man responded and it did seem like he wasn't too sure about sharing why with the woman who had only recently started visiting the keep more often. He then sighed and handed her the pamflet.
Acacia's eyes drifted over the words and a frown appeared on her face, which quickly turned into a scowl.
"I suppose you were on your way to Remiel with this?" she asked, to which the man responded with a nod. "I'll join you", she said.
It didn't take them long to find Remiel, and Victor gave his boss the document with the new Gifted regulations.
"The Queen has lost her mind", the woman said before Remiel even got the chance to read what was written on the piece of parchment. "I thought you had a successful talk with her and the Lady Steward, but this..."

They would have found Remiel working on the new estate, it was definitely beginning to feel and look like a home all the glass work was finished and they were working on shingling the various awning/balcony tops. When Remi saw Victor and Acacia heading his way and Victor was handing him something, "rode here like the dickens my lord, was at the market its the talk buzzing around," and Acacia was talking as Remi read the more he read the more his brow furrowed and his jaw clenched as he ground teeth.
He didn't speak until he read the letter through twice, "This doesn't make any damn sense we did have a understanding a plan, she was behind the school," instantly paranoia infected Remiel and his mind was forming wild accusations, "I got to speak with her again, Victor ready a horse Frannie is the fastest I'll ride her, walk with me," he indicated to Acacia with a wave of his head.
Should she follow it wouldn't be hard to tell Remiel was angry and paranoid, "I'm going to put the farm on lockdown, Commander Kane sent me soldiers from his armies a day or so ago, their lead by @astor, I'll leave it to you if you'd like to leave but if you stay can you coordinate with Astor let him know what's going on and get the place defended just in case..."

Acacia was glad that Remiel felt the same way as her once he had read the regulations. Perhaps they didn't feel that way about it for the same reasons, but this matter was bigger than who their family was, it was a Gifted matter which effected the both of them equally. While she was registered, she was not, but that didn't take away from the fact that the crown wanted to control them all.
The woman followed Remiel in silence while Victor went to ready the lord's horse. "Do you feel comfortable with those soldiers here?" she asked, raising an eyebrow a bit. Commander Zane and this Astor Kane fellow worked for the crown, and she didn't feel like it was safe for the farm to be guarded by them. She didn't know yet if she wanted to be here when lord Kane arrived, even though Remiel gave her to opportunity to coordinate with the soldier. "What if they try to take Gifted with them while you're away?"

Remi was trying his best to remain calm and patient, but he scoffed and shrugged at Acacia, "Do you have an army? Do you see a slew of Gifteds ready to defend this place?" he looked around for her, "No? No, hired help isn't going to want to get involved and if we did have gifteds here ready to defend this place they won't, their scared because as soon as they do they'll be punished for it and I'm not putting that on them," Remiel was at a loss for words anymore, "I seemed to be damned if I do and dammed if I don't here, I need to go and see what's going on so in the meantime yes I trust them they were sent here by the Commander at my request to defend the Keep...for now we work with them until I return and you manage them."

Before she new it, a sharp eyebrow started to raise and her arms crossed in front of her chest. Scoffing and huffing af Acacia Scorza? The woman took a deep breath, that wasn't noticeable on the outside, to regain her cool. Once he was finished with his ridiculous little play, and he had stopped looking around as if he was actually looking for something, she tapped her fingers on her arm while the corners of her mouth pointed downwards, visibly displeased with how Remiel had just treated her.
"You have to forgive a lady for trying to look out for someone else's --" she almost said hobby project -- "life's work. I don't know these men like you do."
Oh she'd manage them. She had no idea to what degree yet, but she'd stay here and keep an eye on this Astor Kane fellow. For now, she didn't have anything to say to Remiel anymore, and she hoped his horse would trip on their way to the palace so he'd find himself facedown in the dirt. Maybe that would make him realise that Acacia had only asked if they could trust the royal troops to have good intentions. The woman turned and if she wasn't stopped, she would walk away, towards the gate, to see when Astor arrived.

"Thank you!" Remi shouted in disbelief as she stalked away, he was getting real tired of that shit from the women in his life. He walked away himself looking for Victor and his horse.
