Kai was angry, he was furious. The rebels in the hills were more than he had been led to believe. It turns out there were more than a few. There were a couple of thousand roaming around the hills descending down onto the local villages when they got hungry. Nobody had told him and that irritated him most of all heads were going to roll after this, literally. He needed to do something about it, but what? If he sent the army out they would melt into the trees and he wouldn't see them. What he needed was an ambush. Something that they would fight through anything to get. Something to barter with. And then Kai knew the perfect bait, his daughter. He went looking for her and found her in the gardens with the guard who looked like he had been crying. In fact he was crying he turned to him and said "Pull yourself together, soldier. You are a soldier aren't you?" He turned to his daughter and said " I need you to do me a favor, it may be a little dangerous what do you say?" He looked at her and gave her a huge smile hoping she would agree.

Vanora snatched her hands away from Nathanos' face like a guilty child caught with her hands in the sugar bowl. Well that fun was over fast. She cracked a smile at his comment, trying to hide it, but miserably failing. Then...then the real fun came into play. "Danger?" she speculated. "How much danger?" Vanora's green eyes got an impish look of dare in them. Her heart rattled in her chest with excitement and adrenaline, getting five steps a head of her. Besides, she was the only daughter of Kai, the only heir to the throne, and he loved her, why would he put her in any real danger? That, and she loved to do things that typical ladies of the time would never be typically allowed to do. A rebel from the word go, but a princess to the naked eye.

He gave a little chuckle when he saw her eyes light up at the word danger. She always had been one for danger when she was small she was constantly jumping off things, beds, chairs, even a table once. Then later it was her pony phase, galloping round the grounds of the place pell mell. He was not sure what she was up to nowadays but he had a sneaking suspicion she did as soon as she went to bed behind closed doors. "Well It turns out there are more rebels than I anticipated, maybe a couple of thousand more. But I want to bait the bulk of them into a trap and I have a plan. You and your escort will go to a small village near here in one of the valleys. When the rebels here of your presence they will launch an attack to capture you, before this I will have the cavalry from the garrison hide at the edge of the valley. I will have troops move into the woods when they attack and cut off their retreat. Then the cavalry will storm the village killing the rebels all it will take is one push and they will kill them all. You will need a bigger bodyguard maybe two hundred men. When you are in the village hole up somewhere and as soon as you can get the hell out of there." He smiled at her hoping he had described his plan clearly.
