You are Brian Montgomery, and you sit upon the throne of France. Your people soon adopted slaves (because screw history), and your mother was assassinated in an uprising. Your father ended his life over this, but not you. You stood strong through this, and took the throne to lead France to a time of prosperity.
A slave bursts through your door, holding a knife before literally being decapitated, the head landing before your feet.
A bleeding peasant bursts through the door and yells,"THE SLAVES ARE ATTACKING!"
The peasent then collapses to the ground, an arrow in his back, and the sound of shouting slaves floods into your ears. The guards slam the doors shut, and close the shutters of the windows.
The captain of the guard says,"My lord, what shall we do? Protect you or slay them all?" Even as you hear your outer guards slaying the slaves, perhaps more guards would help, but compromise your safety. |

I frown and turn towards my guard.
"How many slaves are there? Surely my guards can deal with the filth, as I doubt someone was idiotic enough to entrust them with real weapons." I say to him, my head resting on my knuckles. |

"Oh, it seems to be the people of one farm. They'll be killed quickly enough, but it's still dangerous," says the Captain of the Guard, peeking through the shutters.
"Perhaps someone is against your rule, my lord, perhaps they want the slave to rebel, it seems since it's one farm, perhaps they've given their slaves weapons and sent them out to rebel," Says your Advisor. |

I sigh.
"Once the slaves are taken care of I want the farm checked out and the owners interrogated; any sign of them wishing to rebel and they shall be put on trial." |

"Yes my lord," Says the advisor, peeking out the shutters with the captain of the guard.
A large bang on the door accomponies you with the sounds of battling, and the guards rush to it to keep it closed, others rushing out a side door with torches to light their battering ram on fire. |

"Sword, please." I ask my guards, requesting they get me my fathers old sword to defend myself. |

A guard nods, and runs out with the royal armor, cape, and blade. It's still as fresh as ever, intricated with small, gold designs. It would be gleaming, but the shutters are closed. |

Pulling on the armor I grasp the sword and swing on the cape, standing off my throne. I make sure Lily is away from harm and prepare myself incase the slaves manage to break their way through. |

Several guards bring Lily down to the warshelter, a hidden bunker literred with food. They're probably not to be found, as you never knew where the bunker was until you grew up, and it was ridiculously hard to find and get to.
You hear the banging stop, and you throw open the doors to see several slaves dead before the door, but several others still fighting beyond the gate. Two guards stand at your side, ready to fight with you. |

Sighing, I get a little closer to the door, not close enough for any rogue arrows to hit me but to see what was going on outside, holding my sword tightly as I approached the deadly and brutal fighting outside my castle doors. |

You see swarms of slaves, armed to the minimum with farming tools and other small weapons. Their sheer numbers are overwhelming your small castle guard, and the barracks are too far to call in. Usually the barracks are called in before a seige, as the seige is quite obvious, |

I prepare myself for the worst as the sheer number of slaves begin to push themselves through the gates of the castle. |

You ready yourself, and they pile through the gate, as you behead several with the razorsharp blade of your father, and your guards tear down people charging you as you fight your own attackers off. |

Every so often I check to make sure there are no broken pieces of armor, however only when I am clear to do so. Otherwise I am swinging and jabbing at the slaves, and I search for the one that appears to be the biggest threat. |

You find one that is rather agile, armed with but a knife, but has killed the most guards, and he's currently sitting atop the wall, a dead archer standing before him as others shoot at him. He nimbly dodges the shots, and runs towards the archers. |

I call off the archers and pursue him myself, determined to slay those that question my ruling over France. |

You run after him, the archers stopping their barrage of arrows. He grins, and jumps atop a tower, jumping down onto you, only to fail with such a short blade, and he rolls onto the stone of the walls. You try to behead him as he lays on the ground, but he rolls away and begins running in the opposite way, stabbing an archer in the throat, and yelling something in his native tongue, the remaining slaves run away from the field. |

While running I crouch down to grab the weapon of one of the archers and attempt to wound him and stop his retreat, however not completely kill him. |

You shoot him in the back, he cripples over as the rest retreat, and he rolls off the side of the wall, hitting the ground with a thud. |

[How high is the wall?]
I rush over to where he fell and crouch, trying to see if I could get a view of the fallen combatant. |

(around 15 feet)
You observe him, and the arrow lodged up through his heart, killing him as a pool of blood surrounds his corpse, and the last of the slaves disappear. |

With a sigh I order the bodies of the slaves be brought away, and Lily and her guards are to exit the war bunker. Police are sent to investigate the owners of the slaves and farm. |

Your orders are followed, and the corpses are dumped, and Lily returns from the bunker. The police go out to investigate nearby farms. |
