An unfortunate stroke of luck for her, yet a fortunate one for them; the Martial Guard succeeded in capturing the leader of Chevalet Blanc, Clarissa Arwin, unawares and while she was alone. A fast-acting chloroform was all that was needed to silence, subdue, and drag her away.
But their leader, Rupert, was not satisfied with just capturing her. After all, she had been a constant source of pain for the Council. Thus, she was stripped of the royal garments she wore to battle, to pose as the kingdom's princess. Besides, they might enjoy humiliating her before she's publicly executed.
The Martial Guardsmen had to stop for the night in a town on their way back to the capital. They decided to lock their prisoner up in a shed, keeping her tightly bound and well gagged. Claire was none too pleased of this situation she woke up in...

I've had this on the backburner for quite a while now. I was wanting to complete it for some time, although I was a bit reluctant since I kind of tend to not like doing backgrounds, though it was necessary in order to tell a story for this picture.
Still, anything with my two favorite WA girls is worth doing. ♥
Sorry if Rupert looks off model. I'm still not used to drawing him. He doesn't look much like he's looking at her, does he? I'm sorry that he came out so awkward.
I also wanted to try a slightly softer style of shading and a bit of different approach on the eyes with this one to experiment around.
