[center][color=92278f][h2]Princess Amberlyn Manera of Viracian[/h2][/color][/center] [i]He hadn't listened, had he?[/i] Amber thought to herself, well he had a right not to she supposed. He probably didn't intend on company. However, the prince looked up from his phone amd looked straight at her. He blinked, watching her and gave her a smile. [color=cyan]"I'm not here to get married. I'm here to decline, though my father might try to step in and change that for me. But still, I'll do what I can to save the woman I'd be betrothed to. Nothing worse than being with a man that doesn't love you."[/color] He replies coolly, closing his phone and slipping it into his pocket. Amber crosses her arms. She opens her mouth to say something but the Prince had already starts talking again. [color=cyan]"In any case, how are you, Ms. Manera. We've never met, but I did a bit of research on everyone. It helps to know who people are. I'm Henry, by the way. Henry Allen Peterson, but please call me Henry."[/color] Of course he'd done research. For a short while Amber wished she had paid attention to her mother's common gossiping, it may have done her some good in knowing the royals but she was quick to mentally take that back. "[color=92278f]There's no need for formalities[/color]," she says extending a hand, "[color=92278f]Just call me Amber [/color]" [color=cyan]"I was actually just speaking with a friend of mine back in Elaniel who was curious as to the pretty ladies in attendance."[/color] Henry explained, giving her a large grin [color=cyan]"And I was sure to inform him that there was no lack of pretty ladies for tonight."[/color] He chuckled. Amber watched his eyes dart around the room as she shook her head slightly. Admittedly each and every royal child had grown up to be quite beautiful and handsome and each looking rather regal in their formal or traditional clothing. That comment came to no surprise to the princess. As if on cue, Henry's phone buzzed. [color=cyan]"Excuse me. I would never normally bring out my phone while speaking with someone but it seems my sister needs something."[/color] He explains, pulling his phone from his pocket, reading its message.' Amber watches as Henry smiles, occasionally typing into his phone to be returned with the same ringtone as earlier. At one message, however, his smile faded as he draw a long sigh, slipping his phone into his pocket once again. He looked up at Amberlyn and smiled once again. [color=cyan]"Sorry about that. She was just worried"[/color] This comment followed by an obviously forced laugh. That was when Amberlyn remember what she was about to say earlier. "[color=92278f]You know there's not gettin' out of this... right? Especially if your parents are as strict as mine, or not I guess. As much as I want to end this I can't and neither can you[/color]," [hider=Summary] - Conversed with Henry [@HylianRose]... yeah, that's pretty much it XD [/hider]
