Coup d'état (Medieval Fantasy)

First, for those wondering. The title is a French word for an illegal overthrow of a goverment body.

Attending a private dinner beside her parents with a distant relative her third cousin twice removed Lord Arthas, Princess Arabella of the Sun worshiping empire Suncoran is shocked when her parents are suddenly stricken down by a lethal poison in their wine.
Matters take a turn for the worse when her devious relative convinces the whole palace that she was the one whom poisoned the king and queen of Suncoran in order to gain the throne, she is immediately taken captive by Lord Arthas whom now currently controls Suncoran until the issues are resolved.

Arabella now has no choice but to accept her scheming distant relative's terms of bargaining in exchange for him claiming her innocence of the deed.

The two things that she finds strange: Why was her life spared at the dinner and what could this relative of such thin blood relation want from her?

(The available role is Lord Arthas)

Sounds interesting.

Let me know if you'd like to do this one, the futuristic space one or both. I would caution you to choose only one if you are not a speedy replier.

This roleplay is still up for grabs, yo

Yo, you still looking for an Arthas, yo? xD

yes indeed, tho for warning, romance is involved. Not cyber crap, mind you, but romance/love.

How sappy/intense are talking, here?

more angst than sappy, if thats the right word I am looking for. As for intensity, too soon to know.

Meh, what the hay. I am in.

Coolness, shall we begin now? If so, I am thinking a good spot to start might be the princess hauled off to the dungeons to be questioned by none other than Arthas himself.

Sure, except I would have to know why/what Arthas wants to know and is questionning Missy there.

In my mind when I wrote the storyline, Arthas wanted Arabella to marry him in order for him to be King, then he would tell everyone that she is innocent of the deed that he actually committed and he'd say the culprit is still out there. If she refuses, he'd let her hang for the murder of the king and queen.
Basically he's down there to make threats, what those threats are is up to you.

Ah, sweet, baseless threats. My favorite!

And let me guess, it ends up that they start falling for each other for real?

Possibly

Alright, so I posted.

I was not sure if Arthas' counter-demands were too much or anything, but if its not what you planned, I could always change it.

Also, what exactly is it do you have planned for the continuing plot of the story if/when Arthas liberates Arabella? (other than love)

Aaaaaand, should we move to an OOC thread?
