      Sample Roleplay Post: "Stas! Stas! Come quickly! Bashta and Bratovched Viktor are arguing! Quickly!" Anastas's sister grabbed his hand and started pulling him out of the library. Anastas freed his hand from her grasp. "Mari, why are they arguing?" His sister just shook her head. Anastas left the library, his sister following him. As the walked through the corridors of their home, the sound of arguing became louder. He didn't speed up, because he still had to remain dignified. Stupid rules, in all honesty. The shouting of his father was drowning out that of his cousin. The maid outside looked worried. First, she didn't speak Bulgarian and second, the master of the house was shouting.

      "Father! Talk in English. What's going on?" His father looked like he was about to kill someone. Which he hoped didn't happen. That would be bad. "Your cousin. Your cousin is the problem. Your sister's maid was kind enough to tell me that she had seen your cousin with... how do I explain this?" Anastas didn't see any reason to shout about Viktor bedding a maid. He didn't see the point in making a fuss about men and maids. "My valet." Anastas looked straight at his cousin, shocked. Viktor was angry, evidently. He started shouting again. Anastas knew his marriage was going to be called off. He left the room, ensuring he slammed the door on his father and cousin.

      "Viktoria? Have you heard?" His betrothed stared at the floor, trying not to cry, by the look of her. Anastas stood about a meter away from her. She nodded. "And you know that Father won't let this go. He'll most likely have him arrested. Our marriage will be over before it began. And you'll be back in Varna before you know it." After her finished, she finally let go of everything and started crying. Anastas was truly concerned. She was such a nice girl, she didn't deserve what was going to happen.
