Alessandro indeed offered his lady to sit where they talked a little longer, from the politics of the kingdom to their desires and aspirations. Alessandro answered with stock answers a future King was supposed to use, the happiness and welfare of his people, producing an heir and all the other kingly trimmings. Her answers too were those taught to her, to support her husband in his every endeavor and care for him if sick and to birth his children for him. Eventually they exhausted most of the topics they could and were permitted to ask and answer and the lady once again indicated her desire to move on. The crowd had thinned some, it had been a good hour and many people had to head back to their work or had decided to indulge in the lunch time buffet supplied by the kings cooks. His sister too had moved from the window to join with the other lords and ladies downstairs, keeping up the appearances expected of her. By the time he and the young lady had approached the castle she paused and turned to him. "My lord, I would dearly like to take a ride and see this Kingdom, would you mind taking me?" Alessandro did mind, if he rode with her he had to be everything he didn't want to be when he rode, restrained, regal and, well honestly pompous. It was not in him though to refuse the lady and even should he his father would surely punish him for it. "I see no reason why we can not, however I really must insist we take my body guard should we go." "I have heard of him, a short fellow that looks rather like a girl. People are saying he is peculiar." "Oh really? Well I would highly doubt a man of his upbringing would be considered 'normal' and I would not want him to be. It is good for my man to be considered peculiar, it will make those attempting to take my life pause for thought." He flashed a playful grin to which the Princess had no reply but a blush across her pretty cheeks and he lead her into the hall, announcing to both their fathers that they would dearly love to take in the countryside and that he would be taking his personal body guard to assure their safety. With a jest and some convincing from Alessandro's father the Lady's father consented and soon they were heading for the stables. She had a sable mare and quickly ordered the stable boy to saddle her horse while Alessandro took to the Black Beast and Silver was saddled by one of the younger farm hands. Silver was so gentle a child could saddle her, should of course her owner allow such a thing. Alessandro managed to pull beast from the stable with minimal fuss and there he waited, the farm hands holding Silver's reins, just waiting for Rei while the lady was checking her horse over as if the help here had no idea how to properly saddle an animal. Alessandro refrained from comment and slid easily up into his saddle, "I am sure he shall be along any moment. I sent my squire to fetch him." He hadn't actually, the freckle faced boy who attended his room was busy elsewhere, apparently not allowed to be part of the festivities but likely better for it too. However explaining that Rei had been watching her all this time and would be stepping out of some shadow or other now he knew his presence to be requested seemed a little excessive to him.
