Duncan halted as he heard someone call out to halt. He looked around with a hand on his hilt in case there was danger but his grip relaxed as she spotted Elaine, one of his Royal Guard. "Elaine." he greeted the sorceress. "Two suitors who had arrived left the room we made them wait. I got an indication one of them might be around your room. Desmond Arkenstel is someone we need to keep an eye on." he said before he noticed a maid coming his way rather hasty. He had to think a bit before he remembered her name. "Emily, something wrong?" he asked. She came from the direction Duncan had sensed Desmond but his chant was wearing off a bit.

Keith chuckled. "Bless you, your highness." He put a semi-worried look on his face. "They don't arrest me for making the crown princess sneeze here do they?" Keith heard footsteps coming and thought he recognised the lady in waiting but he forgot her name. He didn't like that his one on one time with the princess was cut short but he understood. In this stage it was probably best to not comprmise her. Keith looked around if he could see Desmond and he wondered if anyone else would have arrived in the meantime. "It was nice talking to you Princess Annabelle I hope we may speak later again if you permit it." he said with a small bow.
