It was a new day, with new snow and Nikola had come armed with a cart full of snowballs. Once the king emerged from the castle, she aimed them carefully and let fly the balls of snow. Ten of them it their mark today. Once done, she dusted her hands, now frozen from the snow and ice, and smiled triumphantly at the king. "Good morning, Sire!" she called out from a safe distance, prepared to duck behind her cart should he decide to throw a few at her.

There was some fresh snow the following day, and Petunia decided to have another try at removing the King's crown. Not that she was intending to seize it herself or anything like that, but it was fun to try her luck and, who knows, she might improve her aim. So she carefully formed half a dozen snowy-white snowballs and turned to wait for the King's appearance. And she didn't have to wait long, because the castle's doors opened and he appeared.

She got ready, and then paused to watch, unable to stop laughing as Nikola pelted him with what looked like a cartload of snowballs. By the time she'd done, he was covered in what looked like a veil of fine lace but which she knew was actually a coating of fine snow instead. And if she was quick, he would probably not even realise that his new Royal Secretary was also doing her best to strike his head with her snowballs. So she quickly set them flying towards him. To be honest, it was a bit disappointing that most of them just grazed him and one missed altogether - but her last throw finally hit its mark!

The next day Lavinia walked by the castle with snowballs prepared in advance. Just as the King appeared, snowballs started flying in his direction. Feeling curious about the attacker's identity, she turned around and chuckled seeing Nikola. Lavinia took one of the snowballs and aimed it just right when suddenly there was a new series of snowballs flying towards him. Glancing around she smiled recognizing the second attacker... Petunia. Soon enough it was her turn so she took her snowballs and aimed... sending them in quickly one after another. Some landed on their mark, others just grazed His Majesty... it was fun.

On this fine evening the General was busy gathering all his snowballs for a sneak attack. As he walked by the tavern he peaked in and saw the king sitting in there with Ella. Quietly he set up and then as the door opened for a peasant to exit he let loose with the throws. Thirty-one throws later, 15 of them hit their target, right in the face. Once the throws were complete he went in and ordered a round of fire brandy to take the chill out of himself, Ella, and of course, King Zuan. Can't have his majesty getting a cold.

After her previous relative lack of success in hitting the King, Petunia was determined to do better. She found a drift of snow and, while Lavinia took a turn, she quickly made a fresh batch of snowballs, and then stood up and took aim.

Her first one was right on target, and she laughed as the snow splattered all over his face. He managed to dodge the next one, but her third landed as she'd hoped, which was again right on his head. He was moving around now and managed to avoid her next volley, although one of them caught his arm. Then her next few found their mark, with all but one of them hitting the King's head. She was getting her eye in now, she thought, so it was time to make a few more snowballs for the next onslaught - that crown would come off at some point - even if she wasn't the one to do it, she would give it a good try!

After gathering up enough snow for some more snowballs, Petunia lay in wait for the King to get close. She was hoping not to miss him this time, but of course a few really good shots at his head - or, rather, the crown - would be a bonus. And with the next few she hit him every time, although admittedly some of them just grazed him and barely left their mark; but three of them hit their target and splattered his head with snow in a pretty satisfactorily sort of way.

Deciding that she could just carry on, Petunia quickly bent to gather up more snow and form it into balls. Then she began to pelt King Zuan with them, finding that, although her aim could have been better overall, at least she caught him a couple of times.

Having rested up a bit, Nikola decided to try her hand at burying the King in snowballs again. Finding a nice pile of snow she made her arsenal of snowballs, arranging them just so, and waited for the King to stride by. She waited...and waited...and waited...and nearly missed the pile of snow that strolled nonchalantly past, but at the last moment she recognized the pointy gold crown that only King Zuan ever wore. Giggling with glee, she rubbed her hands together and then began to toss her snowballs, one right after the other until her arsenal was completely depleted.

"Hrumph!" she muttered. Several of her shots were spot on, but he seemed to be getting better at dodging them, AND at catching them! She would have to watch her back in case a pointy hat wearing snowman started aiming snowballs at her!

Lavinia continued hurling snowballs over the next few days as well... some hit their mark others didn't. She chuckled quietly hoping that she wouldn't get in trouble later once the event was over.

It was a new day and more snow had fallen during the night coating the ground with a fresh layer of snowball worthy ammunition. Nikola waited for the King to pass by her hiding place. When he did, she let fly the snowballs she had made from old and freshly fallen snow.

Laughing, Nikola decided the King must not have had his klahua yet as he did not catch any snowballs this time. However, her aim had been true more often than not and she dusted her frozen hands off and headed for the Mysts Tavern to warm up, quite satisfied with herself.
