Hidden Valor

Duchess Arabella leaves the House of Wellington for the king's court without notice or permission of her mother and father. Two murders occur in the royal palace. Duke Everett is accused amongst the courtiers. He pursues the duchess to take her hand in marriage. The Crown sequesters all of the king's court to the royal grounds. The duke and duchess fall in love and are the first to be exonerated. They leave for the House of Carrington, only for the Crown to summon Duke Everett to serve as advisor. A third murder happens. The primary witness is Duke Everett's unknown cousin. The duke seeks to advise the crown to finally resolve all the murders so that he and Arabella may be free to wed and remain as honourable members of the king's court. 

            The crystals clanked from the slight breeze seeping through her open window. As one touched another, their light reached her dampened, olive skin. She was bare, exposed to the king's court as an innocent, but presented as a disobedient child. Marriage could be the only manner in which she could reconcile her hasty actions. A marriage to a respectable noble was the minimum status she had to advocate for. The duke was just in his assumption. They had to protect the Crown's declaration of their presumed innocence. She was ready to get prepared as she exited the basin. A couple of the chandelier pieces loosened and descended, clashing against the hard surface. Their ground shards dispersing in whatever nearest direction their weight foretold of. Arabella stepped back and quickly adorned herself with an under gown and robe. She waited for any of the other crystals to seek her flesh, but no other broke free.
