"If I came here as a queen, I would have come with a proper entourage, your treatment was more than adequate enough, don't worry!" she said, trying to reassure the king. "I would only consider it normal for your spymaster not to hear anything, my sister is sitting on the throne in my stead and since we look virtually the same, I doubt any of your spies were able to tell the difference."

Then she chuckled. "Why, I came to propose to my betrothed in person and to see how he looks, after all, tales cannot be trusted to tell of man's courage or his looks." she said before approaching Alois and studying his looks, though not without smiling.

If either the king or Alois were to care to at least study the young queen's face closely, they would see that her skin was as fine as porcelain and with the exotic hair and purple eye color, the young queen was a truly exotic beauty. "As I had hoped, I wanted your elder son Reinhardt as the little girl in me wanted a brave knight to be betrothed, but I am not a little girl anymore." she said, bowing her head to the prince. "I judged you, my prince, now you may judge me as you see fit."
