End of Interlude, Return to Kanor

It was the dawn of the next day, and you rose bright and early. The sun was shining through the large windows which overlooked the town below your castle. You rose slowly, servants already busying themselves about you. You paid them no mind, focused instead on the business of the day. There was much to do; the royal court would want an account of the princess' time in your care, and a full list of what you intended to do with her(They wouldn't get it.) Your father had to be laid to rest, a job for the priests, but you would be expected to show up and pay your last respects. You could schedule for a few days away, though, so that was fine as well.

The army would have to be congratulated, there were awards, lands and titles to be given out. The duty had fallen now to you as the oldest member of the royal house. You'd do them all as well. It was important. Your people had to know they served themselves when they served you, so you couldn't just skimp out on all of these things. Not after such a hard and brutal war. They needed to feel like they had won as well.

Mostly though, your mind dwelt on what you would do with the two women you now had in your dungeon. The maid, Sarah, was more or less already broken. She was a tool to you and nothing more. The princess however was defiant, and it would take time to break her. Time and effort, both of which you were looking forwards to.

Now she had spent a night in the dungeons, it was time for you to renew your game with her. You decided that as soon as you were able to, you would have her brought before you for a new torment. But what would it be?
