Ernst furrowed his brow at the mention of his son. With a sigh he turned away and stared up at a wall, his hands wrapped together behind his back.

"I can bring you Reinhardt, but you won't like what you'll find. Reinhardt is a bandit, not a knight, he stopped being a prince the moment he left with half my guard. Last I heard, he was in Gauth, half dead and wearing rags. Call me a cynic, but he's not getting any more handsome." Ernst joked with another forced smile.

Alois walked over to the queen and smiled, placing both of his hands on his chest.

"I do wish to marry you, my lady, perhaps not immediately, perhaps in a few weeks, perhaps in a year. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I would be a fool to waste the chance I've been given." He said eloquently, his coat billowing around his knees as he spun in place and trod around with every word. Ernst snorted and stifled a laugh.

"Never understood 'courtly love', maybe that's why women never noticed me. Maybe, but I got my chance eventually." He chuckled. Alois looked at him, disgusted.
