Alright! Now to take over the world!

Maybe the lord should actually have some feelings towards the sister?
Some of the assassinations do happen, the Princess does live as she serves an important role. And at least one of the parents dies to protect the princess, other than that I don't really know.   

Hmm... I have my eye on you...

I remember this because our RP does have a role within the cannon of my little universe, I just forget most of the smaller things... like names 
Ooh, I was thinking something like that too! 
I don't believe it will come up much in the RP but the Lord does have some of his men in the Legion the prince serves in and they are to assassinate the prince as the Lord begins his move on the throne

Always nice when threads can be tied together

*eyes narrow* Are you hiding things from me?

Ok, popped some meds and I'm back!
Also- maybe the sister by betraying Kenu is hoping that the lord would protect her if the plan went south

From what I remember, we have a lord (can't remember if we named him yet) who is unhappy with how the Emperor and Empress are leading the empire. He wishes for the Empire to expand so they can eventually gain the needed power to conquor Xia. He has a plan to usurp the throne by having the royal family killed (Emperor, Empress along with the heir apparent- the princess, and the two sons (one of which serves in the imperial army)) In the chaos following the assassination he would claim the throne for the duration of the panic, and blame outlying kingdoms for having planned the attack.

Also, I was thinking that what happened with Shal was a different failed attempt by the lord to start a war. The merc bands were ordered to be killed and then stated that they were sent by one of the kingdoms to raid smaller imperial cities on the border, or something to that effect. 

Hm? Rather a lot of sudden writing going on over there

Basically- If the lord's plan started to go south he would use the runners like Kenu as scapegoats- They would have contacts within other kingdoms which allowed them to gather mages, then even with his plain failing the lord could use the situation to his advantage. He would remove the runners that could link back to him and implicate the kingdoms as attempting to move against the empire giving a reason for the empire to go and conquer them. 

Maybe have Kenu's sister being someone the Lord trusts- she was the reason Kenu was brought to the lord's attention as someone he could use to gather mages for his usurping attempt, and maybe she she brings up the idea of using Kenu as the ultimate scapegoat. (He has had a hard life in the empire and his image could be molded into that of someone who blames the royal family for his misfortune)

Sorry if I'm not explaining the idea well, head hurts a bit and I should probably take an asprin.

Put more focus on it... Much much more.

That is true, we need to get Kenu and Lina heading back towards the Tear again
Did you have any plans for Kenu's sister? I remember you wanting her to betray him in some way, and I believe I should have a way it can work into the overarching story. (and if you wish I do have a scene with the big bad she could be in if you want her working with the  lord that is looking to overthrow the royal family)

Well, after the world I will start a true space program to aim for the stars beyond.

We don't have to if you don't wish to <.<
Oh- random memory as well, I believe Lina and one of Akade's brother had taken Kenu's horse for a ride.

And soon the world shall be under my control.

Skip to Kenu and Lina leaving or already back on the road?

You shall teach me? This will be an interesting experience

If I remember correctly it was an argument that got resolved.
Or we could start over new should we so desire, though I had a fun little ending planned. 

Oh? You think so?

Yeah, totally.

Because, I am quite the mean person, and a terrible role model  

I think it involved a thing which involved another thing... Lina and Kenu were a day or two off leaving and... Akade and Ariana had a thingie
