“And that brings us to this muddy little mouse over here. She’s local, apparently an eccentric. Want to explain to their majesties how you defeated Rowena and her army?” (Patreon)

Yvette was silent. “They need to hear this, so their army doesn’t lose that way again.” Yvette stayed silent. Rowena blushed even more. Maeve walked around behind Yvette and gave her a hard slap on her mud-caked backside. She still didn’t talk. “Pies,” Maeve said, giggling. “Yes, you heard right, pies.” 

“And bees!” Vittoria added. Maeve reigned in her laughter for a moment so not to cause offense to a monetary benefactor. 

“Is this true?” Selena said. “Was my commander defeated by pies? Did you eat poison or something?”

Rowena blushed even more, “No, it…”

Frustrated by the incorrect assumption, and relishing a chance to humiliate one of her enemies even from the stocks, Yvette chose this time to speak up. “I smashed pies in their faces. I covered the pies in pepper first to make their eyes water. Between that and launching honey and beehives with my mini catapult, we took down the whole damn army!”

Selena laughed out loud for a moment. Fiona nearly joined in, before giving her a serious look. “Well, Rowena, it’s a good thing we punished you for your failure before this hilarious detail came to light. It might have been even more severe, and no doubt more humiliating.”
