Lachlan climbed out of the carriage that he and the Lord had been stuffed into for the last two days and stretched. He hated carriages as he often felt rather cramped in them and was never truly able to find a comfortable position inside of one. He would have preferred to ride that would have been a better way to spend the last two days. Not to mention, he would have been capable of seeing more, ensuring that everything was truly alright over just assuming so because it sounded to be that way. It was in past now though, the god awful ride soon to be a distant memory, replaced by the ever changing future... A future that held the marrying off of his half-sister to a Prince who did not maintain a very good reputation. Needless to say, Lachlan was worried... Whether or not this was what Sevaviel needed. Of course, he didn't have much of a say in who his sisters did or did not marry. He hardly had a say in anything anymore, not with his father dead.

He turned his attention to Emilia and Elissa as they climbed down from within their own carriage. He rested a hand on his sword's hilt as he walked over to the two of them. He said no a word to either and took to merely following them. If something were to go array, as things sometimes did with large gatherings of people, he wanted to be as close to the both of them as he could. After Emilia's greeting with her ladies in waiting, as excited as ever of their presence, he watched as she turned to address the King. As she curtsied, Lachlan gave the man a small nod, showing respect without risking the ability to properly take everything in around them.

He hardly listened to the King as he addressed his sister, taking to surveying their surrounding. As his eyes glanced over the Royals, he noticed the Prince was looking at him. He let his eyes slide quickly passed the man, not really wanting to make much eye contact. One could never tell how people of the Court would react to a Bastard in their presence. He often chose not to provoke... unless the person was really asking for it.

The gathering was quickly called to a close as the King decided to whisk Emilia away. Lachlan's hand tightened around his sword hilt. Although he was certain that Emilia was safe with the King, he didn't like the idea that moments into their arrival, she was already being whisked away. He took a deep breath and loosened his hand before he looked to his sister and the Ladies, "Go on, have fun."

Juliet held her skirts in one hand and took the hand that was offered to her as she climbed down from the carriage. Unlike Emilia, Juliet had never been to the Thirmos castle. She looked up in complete awe before turn to look at it all, her skirt fanning around her. She only stopped when she noticed the Queen walking towards them. She turned to her and wrapped her arms tightly around Emilia and grinned, [color=indianred][b]"I'm so happy that you requested it,"[/b][/color] She squeezed one of the Queen's hands.

She followed the Queen forward, standing just behind her and her sister. As the girls curtsied, she mimicked but deepened her own as she was of lesser title than the both of them. Straightening, she looked up at the Royal family as she held her hands tightly in front of herself. It was amazing... When she was a child, she dreamed of just knowing Royalty. Now, not only was the Queen of her country not only her best friend but she was living in the home of an entirely different royal family. She glanced over at Lachlan, other than Melanie, he was the only other one of them who was some what out of their depth. Yes, he was the son of a King but he was not a Royal... She wondered if it ever pained him that his mother was a mistress rather than a wife... Surely, his life would be far better. He would be King not a penniless Knight.

When the King and Emilia left them, she walked over to him and placed her hand upon his, [color=indianred][b]"Sir Reyes... Are you alright?"[/b][/color]

Lachlan blinked a few times, bringing himself away from his scanning and thoughts to the girl whom was touching his gloved hand, [color=silver][b]"Yes... Quite... And please, it is Lachlan."[/b][/color]

[color=indianred][b]"Alright... Lachlan,"[/b][/color] Juliet said softly before looking around at the castle once more, [color=indianred][b]"This place... is truly lovely."[/b][/color]
