Dio17/Mae08 - Down Sawall Way

Dio steps through and still holding Despil with her hand she steps to Maeve and gives her a hug. 
."I am so happy to have found you. Have you seen Dirk?" Her voice hopeful. 

She then turns releases Despil's hand near Maeve and steps awy from the table so she can properly greet Mandor. Dio makes a small bow. 

"Greetings. Thank you for bringing us over and reuniting Maeve and myself again." 

A hint of disappointment comes over her face when Mandor says he doesn't know her. 

"My name is Dionisia, and my apologies that is all i can say about myself. " 

Dio turns to Meave, hearing she hasn't heard from Dirk yet she nods. 
Seeing her reaction to Despil, Dio has a big smile on her face and looks between Despil and Maeve. 

A more serious look she answers Maeve, 

"Yes i have been turned over to the convent as an infant, no idea what my age was, no idea who my parents are, the only thing i heard when growing up is that i would be picked up when i was ready. I had thought i was going to be ready after being trained and taught by Lord Suhuy, sadly that wsa not the case. My life only  became harder at the convent. less sleep, less food, more work. To keep the mind and body pure, said the mother superior." 

Dio sighs soft. 

"As for harrassment, once i escaped due to the followers of the Hidden one summoning me, personally, which of course raises questions as well, how come noone knows of me here but there were people who knew me well enough to summon me. 
Anyway, after they had summoned me and helped me escape the convent, the sister did follow me, they send a group to bring me back. Only one survived and escaped, Sister of enforced repentance. "

She then turns to Maeve and Despil. 

"But i wasn't worried here, Lord Despil kept me safe and brought me back to you." She smiles big and nudges Despil towards Maeve. 
"and see Lord Despil, Maeve is such a good friend, and she is the one who helped me figure things out, she is smart, wise, and a great person." 

Dio grins wide to Maeve then turns to Lord Mandor. 

"I had actually hoped, you would perhaps have more information around my excistance, you see I heard here and there that there are a few very informed and smart people in the Courts of Chaos, among those, Lord Suhuy and you, Lord Mandor." 

Dio nods

"When i arrived here at Lord Suhuy's place, it is the only place i could regall strong enough to travel to. Which was not the convent. 
I met Julia there she had a bet placed on me with Jurt. 
About my survival. So they know enough about me to place bets on survival. But she wouldn't say a thing and was a bit arrogant and full of herself. So i figured i wouldn't bother with her.

Despil says that he has never heard of a story like Dio's. Mandor is thoughtful and offers his opinion.

"The was much death during the Black Road war. Mostly of demons, to be sure, but those of us of greater social standing were not entirely absent from the fighting. It could be that both your parents were killed in the fighting, maybe your entire House, and you were placed in the convent to keep you out of the way."

Dio smiles at Maeve so happy her friend cares so much. 

She smiles to Despil.

"See told you, she is a great friend." 

Dio turns to look at Maeve then Mandor.

"Yes. Well not only the convent. But i think the nuns is something we can do something about. Mathgamina i doubt that, and not sure if they are still after me. And when i was mostly disconnected from my body i felt another group hunting me. Not sure who. Might be the ones following the Hidden one, who summoned me. Might be a whole different group. 

And that is why i find it odd that there is no information about me. 

The Hidden one followers knew me. The nuns, Lord Suhuy and Julia and Jurt.  An odd mix." 

She nods to Maeve
"I think it is a plan, records. There must be some records. The nuns might know. Lord Suhuy would surely know. Though i doubt i cannjust make an appointment." 

"Dio can not run and hide for ever. Nearly everybody of my family in Amber already knows about her and that will reach the Courts sooner or later. If she can not claim a House, there will be nobody interested in allying with her. Various groups already seek her out for power but only use her since she is house-less."

"You are right the Convent and the the Church will cause to much attention." She says with a smile to Delwin

"There is another place that holds the information, more discrete, under the control of the Crown. All houses are kept in the book a Nobles, their coat of arms , their lineages, their members. The Kings office of heraldry maintains it. It is not uncommon that someone accesses the records for preparation of planned marriages or to check for an unclaimed heritage."

Maeve gazes into the distance for a short moment

"In the Courts we marry as part of alliances with other Houses, to strengthen the ties. If fate means well, it is someone whom you like." She give Despil a short look.

"In Amber there is nobody who holds an equal rank, to ask Dirk to marry a lesser noble was unfitting of the regent. To ignore his House even if it is a lesser one was putting his Houses down. Not the attempt to marry him off, but ignoring his House will cause some displeasure with them. But aside this Dirk has his own opinion whom he wants and I do not think he will follow his Houses wishes."
