Duncan listened, his eyes winded as she mentioned him finding the fountain of youth. He didn't immediately share Elaines view of seeing him more as an asset. Sure short term and in battle definitely. But long term, would a skilled thief abd killer be a good ruler, like this royal family had been. Would he let his possible children rule or take the power when princess Annabelle passed away. All kind of questions that swirled through his head but he kept on listening. When she mentioned the barriers he nodded. "Of course,I understand. I have full confidence you did what is needed." He glanced at the room. "Although you might want to keep the window shut and locked." He said with a wink. "I'm going back to the princess to see if I can find the missing suitors."
He turned on his heels and walked vack to the hall. He noticed prince Keith and woman who he suspected was a noble woman. "Your Majesty" he greeted princess Annabelle. "Prince Keith." He paused as he didn't yet know who the woman was.

Keith looked at the bird as the woman explained it. "Bearded Vukture, heard about it never saw it up close." When it strechted its wings Keith grinned big. "Awesome, but since it's name means bone-breaker I don't think I should get too close." He said still grinning."Birds are my favourite species, the way they fly and live." He thought to see which of the different kind of birds were his favourite but before he could tell the princess appeared. 
He politely waited till the greetings were exchanged. When he heared Norlanann was a suitor his jaw dropped very un-prince like. He barely heard Duncan greet him.
