The price of Treason

[Anastasia Panteer]

Ana Fa'leen stood on the one of the many balconies of House Panteer. She watched the grounds to see how well the loyalists were doing with the loyalists from House Thul. They had been tagged it seemed by the Mandalorian [member="Draco Vereen"] during his stay on Alderaan at the request of House Organa.

Ana had trouble reconciling this behavior, slaves, and animals were tagged like this not men and women who had surrendered and were leaving. The Duke of House Thul, [member="Adelram Thul"] escaped capture and tagging only because of his men.

There was no way to tell him that his men were safe that those who sought sanctuary at House Panteer were there.

Today House Organa's representative would come and tour her home, inspect her grounds, and be sure she was not making war plans against them. This was part of her punishment. She had sat in a cell in the darkest part of the Black Palace for over a year while they decided what to do, and then when a decision was finally, she was allotted enough to live on and keep her House, all other profit went to House Organa for the next three years as retribution for her crime.

She had sat upon the throne of Alderaan during the occupation, she had thought it would give those unable to leave a comfort to know one of their own sat on the throne. She wanted to make the burdens easier. She never thought about how Queen Arianna would see it. Treason. That was how she saw it.

Well, Ana was paying the price, luckily she had not been exiled or her House destroyed. So who would this agent be?

 

[Lok Xiangu]

That agent would be a Trandoshan Bounty Hunter. While he was, indeed, a Sith Acolyte it didn't prevent him from doing any bounties of any type of client. If he had narrowed down what specific clients he would serve and work for, then there wouldn't be a whole variety of victims that he could kill for the Scorekeeper. He wasn't in the bounty hunting business for fame and for money. He was in it to kill the targets of his employers and not to capture, since it'd be no good to utilize his skills in a hunt if he was not going to kill the prey he was told to hunt down. Many preferred them alive, but if they made one slight mistake, then Dagorn would have the pleasure of killing them and offering the kill to his goddess.

Arriving at one of the immaculate palaces of Alderaan he was escorted by caution-like guards, that didn't trust him which the Trandoshan couldn't blame, and was brought out in front of [member="Anastacia Fa'leen"]. One of the guards announced to the Duchess with a, "M'lady, Dagorn of Trandosha has come to your services."

​

She should have been taken back by his looks but she held fast to where she stood, "Welcome Dagorn of Transdosha" She did not smile, "Do you know why you are here?" She asked him.

Ana had many duties to perform and some that would not go well and knowing whether Dagorn knew what was at hand, and if he could help was a crucial element to her well being. She could not afford a mistake, she could not afford to guess.

She could see the staff scouring about trying to get a glimpse of the Transdosohian, many had not ever been off Alderaan, and then there were those that had simply never seen someone like Dagorn.

"No," was his response to the Noble as she asked him for why he was here before her. In all honesty, he didn't know as he saw on the Bounty Board that the Duchess was in need of someone for something. Dagorn was not just a Hunter for the Scorekeeper, but he was also a Bounty Hunter which was a career he took in order to buy better equipment for killing targets in a quick effective and efficient process so he could gain Jagganath Points from his goddess. His tongue "licked" the air and could smell the perfume of the Duchess along with others that were the staff of this Noble of Alderaan. Without a doubt, they feared his figure as they had never came in contact with a specimen like Dagorn or just never had the thought of exploring what was beyond Alderaan. And fear they should be as Dagorn was a ruthless killer that would stop at nothing just to please his goddess.

He waited, with a hungry looking face for death and blood, for the response of Ana.

"most recently here on Alderaan there was an attempt to overthrow the House of Organa" Ana looked upon this face of the bounty hunter the details of his skin and the prominent teeth.

"I am looking for two people, one would be [member="Elaine Thul"] who made the attempt, and [member="Adelram Thul"] who fled Alderaan. I am not sure where they went, now this is a private matter and we have time this is not something that is..urgent." She had her reasons for both of them Elaine for thinking she could take on the entire nobility and it would help to restore her own status, and locating Adelram to pass information to him that House Thul loyalists were now integrated into Panteer loyalists.

"This task I believe suits your skill set, is that right?"
