Duncans grinned big. "I am glad to hear that." He opened different doors then the ones he had entered the gardens through. He walked in and held one door open for Madeline. his office was in a corridor to the left and he glanced in it, noticing a few of his royal guard already waiting at a door almost half way. He sighed. "Seems work is waiting for me." He paused as he got an idea. "Lady Madeline, if you have a moment, would you like to go into my office with me and discuss your opinion of the suitors?" This way he could spend a little more time with her combined with work. He was planning to make a report on couple of suitors present and eventhough it was in the end up to Princess Annabelle he wanted to be able to provide advice if she would ask for it.

Keith nodded. That was true and it would be futile to break his head over it now. Besides that would just give him a headache.
Keith walked around in the room. Eventhough he didn't mind friendly conversation he was starting to get bored. So far he had seen the entrance hall and this room comfortable as it was. He browsed the cabinets. "We could play a game of chess." he offered. "Or we find someone of the castle staff to give us a tour of the castle." He looked out of the window and noticed a grass field. "Or we find some entertainment outside, I'm sure the castle has some sports of games attributes." It was that or read on of the books in the bookcase but Keith longed for some excersize. Walking around inside the castle or outside on the castle grounds or a friendly game of some sort. Maybe if they were lucky the princess herself had time to show them around. He had no idea how many suitors would suppose to be coming and how long the Princess would wait for them.
