Royal Gamble

Shuffled Hands
Watching as the waves crash against the hull of the ship as she casually leaned over the railing gazing out towards the vast and endless Sea that lates stretched out before her. Turning away from from the sea Emelisse focuses her attention to the sky as her mind began to wonder with everything that happened recently she nearly forgot about the anniversary of her "Fathers" death and the official start of her conquest. Clearing the thoughts that began to consume her mood, Emelisse ever so slowly began to straighten her posture while allowing her eyes to sweep across the deck of the ship glancing at all the unimportant faces spewed about.

Seeing nothing that she considered noteworthy she made her way towards her personal cabin where she could begin to plot her next course of actions. Upon entering her cabin she quickly seated herself behind the large desk that occupied the center of the room, running her hand along the bridge of her nose in slight annoyance as she glances towards a large stack of papers she completely forgot was the main reason for her escape towards the main deck.

"Goddamnit, I forgot about these papers". She groaned as she was alone which allowed her to drop her calm and sophisticated facade and just be herself. "Why do I even need to do paperwork isn’t this something that Pirates avoid ya’know being free and everything." She continued to complain allowing her natural accent to slip out something which she usually tried to avoid. Groaning once again she allowed her head to hit the desk completely annoyed about her current situation.

Raising her head at the sound of the door opening and knowing well enough that only two people would dare brazenly enter without knocking Emelisse casually watched as her First Mate made his first debut of the day.
