Alaera was a bit surprised that the prince had turned his attention fully to her. Men in her life always feared her and worshipped her for her beauty and power. She had never been truly romantic with any of them. When he spoke of her staying her heart ached for a bit, she missed her brother still but because of who and what she was she could never admit it. She kept a soft little smile on her face as he spoke to her keeping her attention on Miguel as much as she could. 

When he spoke of courting her she allowed her surprise to show. It was an acceptable reaction for the situation. She drew her hand up to the pendant around her neck and let her smile widen. Of course she was smiling because she was winning him over she would be done soon enough. She was happy this was going so well, soon she will be done and that made her heart race, freedom only a few years left. Less than if she was to stay with her father. She wasn't certain he would ever die, he seemed to never age. "I think I would very much adore that." She said after a moment of silence just staring him in the eyes. Then she leaned in like a little princess and kissed his cheek just softly and quickly enough for him to feel it. Her cheeks had turned red from her heart racing. She was putting on a good show for anyone watching. She bit her lip as she gazed at him through excited eyes.
