Naldany held her head down against Darlena's forehead as she held a dressing the her wound that was starting to bleed through again. Naldany's cheek still had blood from the cut she recieved from the enchanter duo. The rouge twins was brought into the hall and held down by a few guards. Adaun's words helped to make Naldany sick to her stomach as she thought that it should be her on the table, not Darlena.
" I wanted to be stronger... I want the same level of respect she commands ..... and her mother...... Please help me find some more bandages and lets get her in her chambers it will lower the morale of the house to see her like this now."
Adaun handed her some fresh bandages and helped her cover her. Not even noticing Phelan and Aramis behind them. Delrini stood at the door holding the large sword that impaled Darlena, looking at the blood from her and knowing she didn't do her job in protecting her from harm. She knew she was going to be punished for it and took a deep breath and came behind Aduan dragging the heavy blade.
" M'lady Adaun..... I am ready for my punishment. My blood should stain this blade as well." She layed the hilt of the sword beside Adaun and knelt down with her eyes closed awaiting her fate.

Adaun looked down at the pitfull girl. I can't punish her. She failed, but she had done her best. She wasn't fit to command that was more than apperant. Anyone leading a battle never rushes in blindly without directing the overall push.
"It is not me, that you must submit to, it is to either Lady Naldany or Lord Phelan." Adaun said queitly.
Leaving the decision up to Naldany or Phelan was easier. Ever since she learned to forgive her brother, she had learned to forgive a great many things. she couldn't bring herself to harm the girl. Phelan had changed, perhaps he would just kill her and find a replacement. His heart had hardened and grown a touch or two colder since his journey alone.
Adaun nodded to Naldany and Phelan before leaving the room. Olantar would need help, he shouldn't have been up and about for at least a few days yet. That is what endeared Olantar to Adaun, she was proud that he had gained such a sense of duty in his early ranks. He will do a great job being Captain of the guard. she thought.

Phelan turned to the guards who where holding the twins down.
"take these two trespassers down stairs, you know the room." Phelan said with a smile. "I want them shackled and tied, there won't be anyone getting away."
Phelan set Aramis down rolled up his sleeves and turned back to Naldany.
"It is for you to decide, I have other work to do." Phelan said before leaving the room after the guards.

" I do now my love don't be too long."
Naldnay went over to Delrini and kicked her in the side.
" Don't you think we lost enough today? It wasn't your fault that Darlena was hurt ... it was mine but your death won't solve anything but if you really feel you must atone for something help me take her to her room."
Delrini looked up to her in confusion and picked herself up slowly. Gently lifting up Darlena as Naldany picked up Aramis the two went to Darlena's room. Once they got inside and Darlena on the bed Naldany got her dressed into a gown and pulled her hair from her face.
" El...indar........" Darlena spoke as she tensed up.
" Hmmmm I think shes dreaming... I wonder if this Elindar is the same one she had been seeing in that elf city?"
Naldany had a sudden Idea as she looked at Delrini still sulking about.
" I'm gooing to reseach a teleportation spell to send you to Tethelin.... till then noone come in this room .... YOU guard this with your life. I will return once I have what will be required."
" Yes m'lady."
Naldany took Aramis out with her leaving Delrini inside with Darlena. She was a bit curious about those twin intruders and what her husband was planning for them but it could wait till later.

Phelan returned to the upstairs hours later sweat heavy upon his brow and blood splatter covering him. Phelan returned to his chambers and slumped down in the plush chair in the corner.
who knew that extracting information would be so much work? He thought to himself with a sigh.
Before long Phelan fell into a deep slumber tired from the ordeals of the day. Phelan didn't see the shadow stir from the corner and quietly slip out the door, in fact no one saw the shadowed figure gracefully leave the house and fade into the crowded streets.

Naldany came in a few moments later with the child fast asleep, she looked at Phelan and almost smiled at him all tired out as she placed Aramis into his crib. She went and wet a piece of cloth and started cleaning the blood from his hands then his face carefully.
" What did you do to those girls my'love?...... wake and clean yourself ... perhaps I can assist in that and you tell me of them?"

Phelan slowly opened one eye at the sound of his wife's voice. He sighed and stretched before sitting up straight and opening both eyes.
"I merely asked them a few questions and let them both know that this is not a house to be trifled with." Phelan said yawning. " They are still drawing breath...for now. It was just the flog it won't kill them." Phelan paused and a mischevious gleem shone from his eyes.
"Now what was this talk about helping me get cleaned up?" Phelan said scooping her into his arms.

The two enjoyed a warm bath as she started to tell Phelan of her plans.
" I want to bring that elf that Darlena is envolved with here.... I remeber how much you don't like them and what you did to them before."
She moved behind him and started to wash his back.
" I don't want trouble just yet here but I need to make it up to her for my interferance.... and your son, he showed no sigh=n of fear or regret for what he did to the intruders. And what do you plan on doing about Lilyth.... I want her to suffer her minions scared my face..."

"First of all... You needn't worry about anyone that Darlena is friends with a friend of Darlena's is at the very least an aquaintince of mine. That being said, what will you tell Nikki when she returns to find the elf that she so much dislikes tromping about this house?..." Phelan closed his eyes and leaned back into Naldany's arms.
"Aramis, showed no remorse? That is a good thing, there should not be regret for doing what must be done. You were in danger and he took care of it... As for Lylith... I have not had a chance to speak with Olantar about any kind of attack yet." Phelan said while Naldany craddled him in her arms.

Naldany squeezed Phelan as she thought about what would her aunt do if she did find him in her house.
"She would have him executed .... I would be punished for it... I also would like to have a party or an event here to help ease the minds of the servants and guards here ... they have been though alot and lost familiy. I think it would be a step in the right direction."
She kissed him on the check and got out of the tub. She put on a short bath robe and got one for Phelan.
"Maybe things will be better for us in the morning."
Then a note slid up under the door. Naldany saw it and picked it up.
" M'lord there is something about Delrini I feel you should know about. Something about your REAL family. "
She folded the note and went back to were Phelan was.
"My love I think your captain left this for you to see."

Phelan sighed and got of the tub taking the robe and the note from his wife.
"Perhaps in a few days we could throw a ball or something." He said as he unfolded the note. "How odd, why wouldn't have he just knocked?" Phelan said as he sat down on the bed.

"I put up with him even though we openly don't like each other. But now he involves Delrini, I'm just waiting for him to mess up and I'll string him up somewhere dark and noone would ever find him.... especially for the incident we had the morning after your return."
Naldany layed on their bed and watched Phelan as he went about.
" I'll have some tailors sent to gather your measurement, please allow them to do so my'love.... I should check on Darlena, but its very late. Are you comming to bed or going to see about the letter?"

Phelan looked at Naldany with a bit of a shocked expression.
"I am fond of Olantar and I am planning on him to be the captain of the guard at the Seladria house when I set it up. Delrini is.... lacking in leadership skills to say the least. Adaun thinks highly of Olantar." Naldany was still awaiting his answer if he was going to talk to Olantar or not.
"Olantar can wait until morning." Phelan said as he moved toward the bed. " but why must we fuss with tailors?"

Naldany chuckled at his obvious dislike of the tailors.
" It's for the ball..... I think you should be the best dressed for it. And I will respect you wishes for Olantar.''
A sudden knockat the door silenced her befor she could finish. Naldany carefully went to the door an opened it slowly.
"Aunt Nikkii !!! Your back."
She leaped out the door and hugged her aunt who didn't look very happy.
" Naldany let me go... you not properly dressed and still wet. I came when I was told about what happened..... is your baby ok?"

"Things were handled just fine here. Are you back now or just checking up?" Phelan said still lounging on the bed. "Darlena was hurt, but the clerics say she will recover. Not bad since they actually were in the house before we could respond."
