[color=6ecff6][i]Crossed his mind? Spies? Being thrown into a cell?[/i][/color] It was hard to read him, but it was safe for her to assume he could have expected all options. Being a King, you must expect the unexpected, you can’t underestimate anyone, or it could be your demise. It was a depressing and no doubt exhausting consistently thinking on such things, but it couldn’t be helped. Underestimating someone had been the downfall of [i]him[/i], Athos the deceased younger brother of the Hydealyn line. It pained her father to this day to talk of him, so he was barely mentioned anymore. It was as if he never existed. Athos had been killed because he had not been cautious of someone that had gotten awfully close to him, they had wormed their way into his heart and stabbed him in the night killing him. It had been quite the blow to Eorzia. [color=6ecff6][b]“Thank you, that is very kind of you to do so.”[/b][/color] Offering a polite smile when he had stated he would find people to attend to her, she expected he would. [color=6ecff6][i]It’s probably a win for you, watching my every move. I would have done the same in your position.[/i][/color] Pondering her thoughts on what kind of reception she would receive from his people, there had to be some hatred. She was a foreign Princess and she knew that envoys of opposing countries received quite the amount of scorn when in another country. Considering his words as he mentioned he would have his own guards escort her she had opened her mouth to argue but stopped when she thought more on the words. Her own guards could cause quite the stir, if they were about in the foreign city their safety couldn’t be guaranteed which could be a reason as to why he had said his own guards to escort her. [color=6ecff6][b]“I would like to visit the upper city, when you deem it acceptable of course. I am curious to your land, your Kingdom. It’s incredibly different to what I have grown up with and it would only be respectful to your people if I learn about your customs and lands.”[/b][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Plus, I hate being confined anywhere.[/i][/color] Leaning on her hand as he continued the rules, outlining where she could go, she nodded. It was pretty standard, his own palace had areas she was not allowed much like hers back home. [color=6ecff6][b]“Understandable, I will do my best to abide by that.”[/b][/color] Stifling a yawn behind her hand she didn’t want to come across rude, he wasn’t boring her she was just tired from the journey. Sighing inwardly, she knew the day was not even close to being over and it would be hard to rest in new surroundings, well it was hard not to worry someone would come by and kill her in the night. [color=6ecff6][b]“How many people are in attendance to this ceremony? You mentioned it was going to be small so I can assume it won’t be a long affair?” [/b][/color]
