Volgorl issued a greeting about wonderful it was to meet Katherine in response to her courtesy before smiling slightly at Helena's abrupt introduction. She was obviously the "rebellious" daughter of the family. With three daughters, the odds were high for the royal family to have at least one of their daughters go down the route of refusing their birthright in favor of some other philosophy or ideal. Helena seemed to be enraptured with service in the Royal army: her rigid stance, her fierce gaze and tensed muscles indicated that she was indeed trying to become a true soldier. Maybe she was trying a bit TOO hard, but Volgorl could admire someone who wanted to throw off the shackles of wealth and fame for the life of a servant. However, it wasn't she that truly attracted his attention. Both Katherine and Ada were...well, in a word, breath-taking. Their beauty was indeed worthy of all the praise that was lauded upon them. "You honor me with your presences." Volgorl once again bowed politely. "And you honor us, dear Captain. After all, is it not you who routed the Rakya with nothing but one hundred troops? You saved our Kingdom. It is our pleasure to have you featured here in our palace." Ada took Volgorl's arm and linked it with her own, the young princess going through the same exact welcoming routine that she always used: tell the person how great it is for them to be there, praise their accomplishments, get just slightly physical in order for them to further let down their walls and then, if negotiating, begin to plant the seeds of change. They weren't in negotiations this time...although, in a sense, they were. Even if the three girls were put into these proceedings against their will, they were negotiating who had the right to marry this man. Ada noted his handsome face, especially his eyes...it was as if his eyes could peer into your very being and extract nothing but positive energy. She admired that. "We have much planned this evening, including a grand feast for you and all those who have returned home. You will of course be staying in the castle the next few days. I hope you don't find that too objectionable?" "No, no, of course not, m'lady." "We'll guide you to your quarters in just a few moments."
