Jacob quickly followed, bowing his head to Lord Calbert as he left then half jogging to get up next to Crystal. Bending down and Whispering something to her. 


Crystal moved quickly, mostly to get out of the view of Mathias if he did watched what happened…partially to make it back home to change quickly. Jacob whispered into her ear as they left, [color=2A7E2E]”Are ye ok MeLady? I kno i work for ye dad, but i can still bop the fool of a boyo on the head in his sleep…Cass..i…dus I mean.”[/color] confusing himself as he tried to remember the new ‘lords’ name.

A tiny hint of a smile on her face appeared and vanished just as quickly. [color=1e4fff]”I-I am fine. I just need some time. As for bopping him on the head…That…that won't be necessary Jacob.”[/color] She said looking up to him for a brief moment. She appreciated the man in his own way trying to comfort her. She quickly added after looking forward again. [color=1e4fff] “For now.”[/color] 

Jacob nodded with a serious look, Sad, but understanding. But When she added for now he chuckled heartily. But said nothing else as they made their way back to the mansion. 

There, the maids already had her dress and matching heels ready, so it was a quick switch. Crystal loved dresses, but she loved the more simple ones, compared to the more extravagant other nobles wore. She decided to keep her hair down to save time, only brushing it a few more times to fix it. She then added a crystal butterfly hairpin she loved to the left side of her head. Then a thin blue ribbon around her neck that trailed behind to her waist. She kept quiet during this time thinking mostly on what just happened.Never bringing it up to liah, or jacob or her maids.

She was then rushed into a carriage and made her way to the castle, Liah riding with her and Jacob standing on the back…He learned his lesson once by trying to fit into it when crystal insisted. One could still see the crack in the door frame Fixed and glued, but still a crack.

It didn’t take them long to make it to the castle. She weaved her way through the crowds of Ladies leaving or arriving late, many apparently turned away before they got the chance to even meet with the three princes. 

Just as she entered the main hall, The king roared out for guards to take a girl away. She let out a squeak as the sudden outburst scared her.  Her face turned red as the other women around looked at her as she did. She tried to ignore it as she looked to see a white haired girl with different colored eyes be dragged out of the room. Suddenly nervous if she messed up that might happen to her. She looked over to see Prince Callum eat a raw onion as he stared at his father. She remembered their talk they had yesterday, how he disliked his father. She could tell he was doing this on purpose, while she would commend him on his bravery of doing so, she probably wouldn’t have recommended his protest be like that. He continued chewing with his mouth open. The sound and image didn’t sit well with her…it was one of her irritations. She closed her eyes and looked away, hoping. With all her heart it wasn’t how he normally ate.

Crystal opened her eyes again as the women around her shifted and bumped each other, moving her to stand in between Prince Wulfric and Prince Auguste. She glanced around to see a few Ladies she knew...not close friends, but in passing. One she did see was Ariella, She wanted to wave to her but didn't think she would see her. Hopefully she could catch up with her after.

While she wouldn’t have minded talking with Prince Callum once again, she did want a chance to meet the other princes. Pulling a hand up to her mouth as she looked between the two. nervous and unsure of who to pick. Both were dashing and interesting, while Callum was still handsome of course, but his older brothers held themselves quite different. 

Wulfic seemed more scary to her. She couldn’t quite place why. Perhaps it was due to the fact she collided with him on the dance floor the night before…and ran away. But Auguste was just as intimidating. Was it the air about the two of them? Their eyes? Their height. She was of course a dink in comparison to them. 

She froze in place…not knowing what to do.
