[hr][color=Palevioletred][b]Location;[/b][/color] Kingdom of Abhainn
[color=Palevioletred][b]Interacting With;[/b][/color] Lady Alice Allaire {[@Lionhearted]}[/center][hr][hr] 
In all honesty, Amaryliss was not surprised at the nature of the Lady Alice's words - nor was she hurt by them. The two had been very close once, but Alice had put her feelings for King Maddox before their friendship, so it did not end well. At least, that's how it happened in Lissa's eyes, and that opinion was not about to change. It was clear that the root of Alice's hatred towards her was jealousy, as Lissa had taken away everything the girl had ever wanted with just a small smile and a fluttering of her lashes. She supposed that Alice was also the source of the gossip that had her sent away from Abhainn in the first place, and that made her contempt for the woman develop into a faint feeling of resentment. 

Neither was Lissa phased by the brashness Alice displayed. Where Amaryliss had been sweet talk and clever words, Alice had always spoke her mind as if she expected the whole world to accept it as Law - which, of course, rarely happened. Allowing her eyes to lazily glide over the Lady, now displaying a clear expression of contempt, the only thing stopping her from firing back was the commotion that arose in the centre of the courtyard. 

Now, Lissa had seen her fair share of blood - she had been invited to many a tournament in which something had went wrong; an eye lost or even the death of a horse. But this was the first time she had ever seen a man die and, in amongst her obvious disgust and shock, she experienced an odd feeling of disappointment. She had always thought that it was far more dramatic than that - the songs and stories always spoke of honourable knights dying with their true love's name on their lips, but this announcer had just spouted some blood and...died. 

Gritting her teeth, not turning her head to look at Alice, and paying no mind to the fact that the only ones now speaking were the Royals, Amaryllis spoke in hushed tones. 

[color=palevioletred][b]"As you can see, my lady, both mine and the two kingdom's concerns expand far further than the pathetic pining you feel towards King Maddox." [/b][/color]Tilting her head upwards in a manner of superiority, Lissa kept her voice haughty yet with a manner of intelligence that could only be of upmost genuity.

 [color=palevioletred][b]"It does not surprise me, however, that you still seem to believe that the whole kingdom revolves around you. Take a look at what's happening before you right now, Lady Alice; I see that he still does not return your affections? Am I wrong, or did he just comment on her majesty's beauty?" [/b][/color]

Amaryllis may not have been fond of the future queen, but right now she was more interested in staying on her good side than Lady Alice's. True was the fact that the pretty flush that arose in Julianna's cheeks almost mustered up a sneer from the former mistress of the king, and true was the fact that it took every ounce of her self-control to offer a gracious smile when the future queen briefly turned around - but she knew that this woman was soon to be one of the most powerful women in the two kingdoms, and crossing her would very much be the equivalent of signing her own death certificate.
