Ares glanced over her shoulder toward Lili as she approached the extremely rude new foreigner. She shook her head in their direction and turned back to Liam. She gently crowed at Silver and Silver flew from her arm, dropping her braid from her mouth, and flew back to the stables. Ares turned to Liam and said quietly, her personality dropping down a tone, [color=violet]"I don't really know yet. I know I will definitely miss Aqua, but I'm not sure about the rest yet."[/color] She bit her lower lip and stared at the ground, the first time that she didn't actually seem menacing or like a prince or warrior rather than a princess. She took a deep breath and looked back up, her eyes beginning to brim with unshed tears. She blinked rapidly and muttered, [color=violet]"Sorry."[/color] She wiped at her eyes furiously before taking a deep, shaking breath and saying, [color=violet]"Shouldn't you go and talk to Obelix? He seems to be here for you."[/color]

She honestly just wanted to get away. Run to the place she would normally run to and hide. She didn't want any part of this. She didn't want to be chained down by a bond. She wanted to run free, be free, not have the responsibilities to her kingdom. She wanted to be carefree. She turned to look over her shoulder, looking toward Aqua. The young girl was so lucky, so free of burdens. She was not being forced to do this and Ares thought her lucky for it. Ares turned back to Prince Liam abruptly and dipped her head to him, her way of saying goodbye for a brief time. She then turned on her heel and walked over to Obelix and Lili, standing next to the young noblewoman. She overheard the end of what he was saying and smirked. 

She bowed low to him and stated, [color=violet]"Greetings, Prince Obelix. Allow me to be the first of your introduction. I am Princess Ares Jessamine Chara, Crown Princess of Erendale. My betrothed may be the one that you seek."[/color] She turned her head slightly, glancing back to Liam. [color=violet]"Prince Liam Hanway of Freyea. To what do we owe the pleasure?"[/color]

Ares normally had a good sense of when something was trouble and this guy had trouble written all over him. She narrowed her eyes at him and rested her hand gently on the hilt of her blade, just in case something were to come amiss. Besides the guards in the courtyard, she was the only one that was actually armed and ready for a battle. She did not see any swords on any of the princes and she knew that no other princess would carry one. She turned her dark eyes toward Lili and smiled at the girl before turning a darker glare back to the foreign prince. 

Aquamarine watched this encounter from a distance and she was immediately worried for her sister. Her sister tended to be rash and do stupid things when it came to foreigners or people she thought were going to be a danger to others. Moving quickly, she hurried over to her brother and pulled on his sleeve. [color=forestgreen]"Marion!"[/color] she hissed at him, hoping to distract him from his new betrothed. [color=forestgreen]"Marion, you need to intervene before Ares does something stupid. Again.[/color]" She jerked her chin toward the group of three in the distance and then realized she forgot her manners. 

She turned to Princess Erin and curtsied. [color=forestgreen]"Hello, Princess. I am Princess Aquamarine Beauty Chara of Erendale. I am Marion's youngest sister."[/color] She smiled at her before turning back to Marion and pushing him lightly toward the crowd of three.
