https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quYiKnusGhc
While « The Pirate’s Fate » was departing in the middle of the night, away, inside the luxurious halls of Kittering Castle, some agitations are brewing…
Nakhta : I hope for you that this is important ! I cannot stand needless interruptions !!!
The current ruler, Queen Nakhta de Renaud, is a woman very strict about her daily routine.
Usually, right now, she should have shortly left the dinner table and be in a warm bath, scented with jasmin and rose salts. Then, some handmaidens would dry her body except for her tail, that she will leave to dry naturally while reading for a while in her boudoir. Then, within the hour, she would go in her bedroom and move on to the next day…
But not tonight ; Admiral Anora just interrupted Queen’s Nakhta desert with asking her to follow her in private. It was one of her favorite : Baba au Rhum ! A rought start already ; and walking in some of the lesser used corridors of the castle didnt brighten her mood….
Anora : I’m sorry for this, Majesty ; but it couldn’t wait…
Nakhta (in a bitter tone) : I hope for you it is as urgent as you think it is…
The Admiral guide her queen in a antechamber, dusty and covered in drapings, where 2 guards were keeping an eye a kneeling figure on the ground…. It seems to be a woman dressed in « unlady-like » attire, her hands tied in her back and her face covered by a cloth bag…
« Woman » : You just un-tie me and you will see who will fetch bones !!
Anora ( coming closer to the woman) : I will handle her now ; you two stay by the door…
The soldiers make a quick bowing gesture to their officer before moving by the entrance of the room…
Anora : Your Majesty, I think you’ll be interested in this…
Anora remove the cloth bag from the woman’s head.
The Queen made a little cry of surprise and confusion when she saw what woman was suddenly gasping for air…
She looked like a shaved monkey with yet long brown hair with a reddish tan. Her muzzle was flat and small, with a pinkish porcine skin with little hair…
Nakhta felt herself overwhelm with disgust before such creature !!
The « Creature » was actually Elaine Marley, Heir of the Marley bloodline, Governor of Mêlée Island, Bounty Island and Plunder Island and now « Mighty Pirate » with her husband, Guybrush Threepwood. Well… at least, until recently, as for now, she is very confused to see a giant fox wearing a dress and looking her with dread…
Nakhta : AAAH ! WHAT KIND OF FILTHY APE IS THAT ?!!!
Elaine : BACK OFF FIDO !! I’LL SMASH YOUR TEETH OUT !!
Before Elaine could try to get up, the « Click » sound of a loaded pistol can be heard.
Anora then graps Elaine’s shoulder to keep her on the ground, and her other hand keeping her gun right Elaine’s temple…
Anora : You better not try anything brash there, deary…And show some respect ! You are talking to the Queen there !
Elaine : … this is somekind of joke, right ?
Anora (standing up) : I‘m afraid not…
Elaine : You better be DAMN serious, « handbag » ! ‘Cause I dont like that kind of humour !
Anora pull her gun a bit away and the Queen, seeing that the situation is under-control, try to show more calm
Nakhta : Who or what the hell are you, exactly ?
Elaine : I am Elaine Marley ! and you better untie me right this instant ‘cause I am Governor of Mêlée Island !!
Nakhta ( smiling) : Oh REALLY ?! A Governor ?! With this face ?!!
Elaine : Looks better than youres !
The smile the Queen had disappeared even quicker than it showed up… Queen Nakhta wasn’t really the kind of to taken insults and mockeries lightly…
Nakhta ( furious): You disgusting freak ! How dare you talk to me that way ?!! I am Queen Nakhta de Renaud ! Ruler of this lands and Highest authority ! I’ll not be Insulted by a mishapen ape !!!
Elaine would gladly spit on that fox to add more salt but a dragonness with a gun next to her head was a good reason to not push her luck too much
Nakhta : Oh ! and I also happend to be the daughter of a man passionated with Seas Maps ! So your little bluff look even more PATHETIC ! I know FOR SURE that there isn’t such a thing as a « Mêlée Island » in thoses seas!!
Elaine felt a terrible chilling cold on her spine when she heard this ; it couldn’t be good at all !
Not only does she didnt knew where she was or who was thoses « things » keeping her prisoner but apparantly, she was far away from home… Elaine felt a lot less combative now… She needed a Plan..
Nakhta ( continuing) : … So either you are a bad liar or delusional !!
The Queen went to grab Anora’s uniform
Nakhta : So THIS is why you interrupted my evening Admiral ?!! THIS « THING » ?!!!
Anora : Well, that’s not all,your Highness… She was found near a tavern on the port… and… she was in possession of… « this »…
Anora reveal a small golden coin to her queen… Nakhta’s expression chaned to reflect awe but also greed… She took the coin in her hand and start to look closer at it under the candle light… It looked like one of the magic coins she put so much efforts to uncover…
Nakhta ( in admiration) : Oooh… This… changes everything then….
Elaine had completly forgot about that thing !
One of the Diskettes of Subacétô ! The ones responsable for what happend to her and why Guybrush seemingly disappear… and yet.. This Fox creature seemed to know this artefact… it couldn’t be good…
Elaine (to Nakhta) : I wont touch it like that if I were you…. Do you even know what thoses do ?
The Queen looked at the tied woman with interest…. And then, both women looked into each other in the eyes… Both knew that the other was fully aware of the nature of the small golden trinket… that there was more than one of it… and what its potential was…. Or at least, both THOUGHT the other knew…
Nakhta took a calmer attitude to answer
Nakhta : Why yes… I do know ! I suppose you could even say that I am a bit of a collector, actually…
The Queen came closer to the tied woman, staying silent for a short time before talking in a formal manner…
Nakhta : … I apologises for all the disconfort my underlings bring on to you, my dear… It clearly wasn’t right to treat someone like you this way ! If you allow me, maybe we could restart our relation from scratch and forget that this … « Mishap » ever happen…
Elaine (considering) : Well I dont make promises… but I could try…
Nakhta is kneeling to be at the same height as Elaine
Nakhta : Good… good… It is quite rare to meet a woman like you, miss Marley… It would be a shame that we became ennemies while we could accomplish so much together… like say… find the other ones…
She shows to Elaine the coin
Nakhta : Dont lie to me ; I know you can tell me… Where are the others ?
Elaine didn’t gave a single word… Nakhta stand up, her tone colder
Nakhta : Well then… I suppose you need some time alone before making your mind then… I’ll give you some space and time to think about it then…
Elaine : So I am your prisoner ?
Nakhta : Oh dont be so rude, miss Marley ! I prefer saying « Supervised Guest » ! It sound way warmer !
The Queen point at Elaine and the 2 guards put back the cloth bag on her head before beating the woman
Nakhta took Anora outside the room to talk more…
Nakhta : Does anyone know she’s here ?
Anora (making a sinister grin) : Dont worry ! I already took care of all the few witnesses that saw before we get to her !
Nakhta : Good ! Good thinking ! Now, I want you to place that girl in one of the staff rooms! One without windows ! Out of the way ! Then, make sure that she stay here and that NO ONE sees her ! Dont even bother giving her Food or water !!!
Anora : As you wish, your Highness ! I’ll do that imediatly then will go back to the frontli-
Nakhta : Negative ! For nowon, you will be fully in charge of my Information Network ! I’ll put the fight against my sister Bilba on the shoulders of General Lorenzo !
Anora (upset) : Lorenzo ?! But… HE’S AN IDIOT !!!
Nakhta : Yes but a stubborn one ! He will give us the time we need to complete our plan ! Your sole priority for nowon is to find thoses Coins , Admiral !! WAS I CLEAR ?!!!
Anora : *sigh* … as you wish, your Highness…
The Queen reach The Admiral’s shoulder and pet it)
Nakhta ( smiling) : I knew I could count on you, Anora….
