[color=5D57AF]Mentions:[/color] [@Mole] Felix [@baraquiel] Beatrice 

[hr]

The King and Queen of the Varian Kingdom had been nearly silent as they had watched their children during their dances. King Alixandre was in awe of  Beatrice’s beautiful dancing. He knew she was an extravagant dancer but to see his little girl out on the ballroom floor. He was happy to see her with Verrick as he had a lot of respect for him and appreciated the protection he provided his daughter.  Queen Rosa had also seemed happy, smiling as she too had watched. Though secretly, she was a little concerned.

[color=5D57AF]“Rosa, I think I might cry… It feels like yesterday she was my little girl and look how she’s grown-... “[/color]Alixandre had stated as he had watched, his eyes brimming with tears. [color=5D57AF]“I don’t want her to get married and leave me so soon, but if she falls in love with Verrick-... Yes, she will stay within the Varian… This could be good!”[/color]

Queen Rosa looked at him and put a hand on her shoulder. The two of them were seated off to the side in comfortable chairs, their servants and guards at their sides. [color=887EB7]“No need to worry so, my dear. Things will happen as they should and will. It’s not in our control, sweetheart.”[/color]

The King wrapped his arms around his intelligent wife in a hug to which she returned, [color=5D57AF]“You’re right. And what’s most important to me is her happiness. But if and when she leaves us, I’ll really miss her.”[/color]

[color=887EB7]”Me too.. Beatrice and Felix make me so proud every day.”[/color]

At the mention of Felix, the two glanced in his direction as he had danced with Thea. King Alixandre visibly bit his lip at Thea’s clothing with concern but tried to cover his mouth to hide it. [color=5D57AF]“Oh what a lovely couple. I can’t wait for their wedding. Do you think Felix is happy…?”[/color]

Queen Rosa did not answer that question as she watched them. She hadn’t been sure what her son felt about Thea, but she did know they were opposites. She worried that perhaps Thea might be too much for her sweet, calm son, but wanted to give the two a chance to make it work. Things had seemed to be going much better than she could have hoped for until the dance ended and Thea looked visibly upset as they had broke apart.[color=887EB7] [i]What on earth happened?[/i][/color]She wondered. 

She glanced at King Alixandre but he seemed to have missed what she had seen. He was distracted once again by the ceiling seemingly. Felix soon ended up by Duke Lorenzo and Lady Crystal. He seemed certainly happy to talk to Lady Crystal, but she could not tell from the expressions alone what they were conversing about.

[color=887EB7][i]I suppose Felix doesn’t know Thea is upset. …Did anyone else notice? [/i][/color]
