#arthur rogue {warlord of scorpio}

[liroyalty]

The silence is long & draw, as a pair of onyx eyes stared out onto open lands Jailiam before the cliffsides. Wide open spaces for as long as one could see, tents filled with shoulders that celebrate the day's victory away before open fires & shared drinks. The joys of men & women for fought hard, their returns were to play hard, as much as they wanted, & their lords provided.

It was still but a sampling of what it was Sue wanted to make. A place where those worked the hardest got the spoils they deserved, where those with power treated those below them as their own, & worked their labors to keep them well. And for once she had a alley with her.

Of charcoal black hair, a man beside her watched the same screen, coffee brown eyes absorbed the sights of his men mingling with that of the Lareryth Queen's beside him. Ears graced with the distant signs of life & joy. This... were the delights of a conquer. To wage war, fight a great battle, gain victory & celebrate it with drink, feast & a warm body. Pleasures Arthur Rogue had come to know overly well, the beautiful Suzanne being no small part in such.

How graced he is, to just simple be able to live this dream as he wished in full, but to do so with such a gorgeous & power queen in his services as well. Yet, there's a hollow he sees in her eyes, finally turning them towards her from the screens of their camp.

"Troubled?" Rogue questioned finally.

Eyebrow raises at the question, but she doesn't turn to face him. "Troubled? After a victory? You're joking."

The warlord chuckles at her. Of course, she would word things like that.

"I am merely thinking."

"You are always thinking, my dear." His responses sounds sassy, but he speaks it as if it was fact. He knows the queen a little too well. "I am a man of many talents, but mind reading is yet one I do not have." It is Arthur's way of saying that he wants to know just what it is she's thinking of.

"..." The pause & silence of her is only broken by the sounds of the celebration below. "... I thought... a long time ago, I would have been happy, simply taking Lareryth from Seth." She begins, sighing at the memory of her dead ex-husband, she did tell Arthur of truth of that instance, & they swore to each other they would never speak of her killing the ex-ruler of the Lareryth Empire. He has gained her trust in such a high regard over the years of fighting together. "I knew he would be unfit to be a king, & I thought gaining the largest empire in the world under my wings would sate me."

"And yet, here you are." The warlord scooted closer to her, a tiny smirk peeling at the edge of his mouth. "Still hungering & fighting for more, you ambition is powerful, my dear."

"Perhaps I am simply greedy." She restores with a low snort.

"To have ambition is to be greedy, my dear." Arthur responses quickly. A single hand of his moving slowly, finding it's way under her chin, where but a thumb & finger would lift & turn it to have Sue face him. "Ambition is to want, to need, to have a desire so great the bound of normal means can not contain it. Something that makes the world bend & change & only those with the courage & strength to chase their ambitions will see it done."

"And I have boundless strength for a boundless ambition." Suzanne thought when she was young she'd be happy with just the empire, but she wants more. Not just for herself, but to take ill & ailing people under her wing, so she can see them thrive. No one may live in a worse situation then she ever has. No one will have to know pain & blame as she.

Her response only made the man smirk fully spread across his face. A daughter of the great king, the man who won the old war, was not like any other mere woman. "So, what is your grand desire? How much of this world do you want?"

"I want an empire... that is the likes no one on this world has seen before. And to have that... I will want, need, more then what Jailiam will give me, Arthur."

Finger flex just a bit, gripping her chin just a tad tighter, & the warlord bites his bottom lip, hearing just how sure she knows what she wants now. If this lovely queen wanted to wage world to claim the world, Arthur would do so with an eagerness. To make a Queen in an Empress, & with he as Emperor beside her. Only he can be such a fitting partner for such a wild & ambitious beauty.

"As you wish."
