Adelina remained quiet as the prince told his tale, chewing thoughtfully on her apple as she soaked in his words and processed them. She set the core down and used a napkin to wipe the juice off of her fingers and around her mouth. She kind of felt sorry for him. Sure, in retrospect it was his fault the he was cursed but they all have their bad days and it was unfair of fate to throw that change at him on a bad day. Now he's paying unfairly for a momentary lapse in judgment and morals. She didn't speak it out loud but she could feel determination creeping up that compelled her to find a way to break the curse. Cardlin was always saying she had a soft heart and couldn't bare to not lead assistance when someone was in need and she was proving her brother right in the current moment. The prince was helping out her family more than he knew so she planned on returning the favor. Breaking a curse was no small feat but she felt confident she was up to the job. 

As the paperwork was set down in front of her, she leaned forward so she could read through it. Once it was all read through, the contract as he had already stated, she grasped the writing untensil that had been laid beside the paperwork and signed her name where it was needed.

[color=f7976a][i]And a year gives me time to find a way to break the curse.[/i][/color] She added to herself silently. The papers now signed, she relaxed into her seat, content with the knowledge that her family would be in good financial standing. [color=f7976a]"So how would you like me to address you?"[/color] She inquired. His ranking dictated her to call him "your majesty" or "your highness". But since she worked for him should she call him "sir"?
