Hook, line and sinker

The Red Queen wore tight red leathers with contrasting dark and light tones. Her top was cut to accentuate her cleavage and not for protection because her shoulders and arms were almost bare. The exception being the spiked, long red leather braces she wore from her wrist to her elbow.

Her sword was strapped to her back because it was too long for a hip mount and it rested under her long auburn ponytail.

We stood in two lines because there was only fifteen members present on the lower floor. The four swordsmen - who formed her inner council - flanked her with two at either side they faced us with predictable smug or sneering expressions. The high backed leather chair was in the centre and she perched at the back of the seat with her feet on the arm rest. Her long shapely leg was on fully display despite being encased in leather.
