The world does not need more men with a similar disposition as the king parading around.”[/color] Nahir stated with a pat on her dance partner’s hand. She smiled, following her gaze to see Leo cackling. Strange, and from what she had seen in the past few days, unusual. She wondered if someone had played a jape on him, and what kind exactly. [color=904342]“I know I can do better, dear, and I will.”[/color] That smirk. Cheeky. She grinned, almost delighted. Nahir watched her curtsy. Practiced, yet fluid and without effort. Had she been wrong in her assumptions about Miss Dantes? She certainly played the part well. [color=904342]“Shehzadi Nahir Kadir, it is a pleasure to finally know part of your name, dear.”[/color] Nahir bowed her head slightly to her, [color=904342]“Although, as you and I well know, there was no need for an introduction on my part. You knew who I was the moment you laid eyes on me.”[/color] A similar smirk played at her lips behind the gold strings hanging from her mask. [color=904342]“But I am nothing if not polite.”[/color] A falling house? Nahir could not ascertain if Miss Dantes were telling her the truth. She’d ask Lady Miha to search the records for a House of Dantes and see the reason for their fall from grace. [color=904342]“Not to worry, my dear Miss Dantes, your little secret is safe with me.”[/color] She shot her a quick wink. Just then, a woman wearing an ornate silver and blue owl mask and a pair of pink heels in one hand approached. Her dark blue dress with draped sleeves and a head scarf that covered her hair gave her an air of mystery. Not a single inch of her skin was exposed, even her hands were adorned with silver gloves and rings. The woman leaned in, and Nahir mirrored her movement. Nahir listened attentively, offering Miss Dantes a quick, unwavering smile as she learned of her sister's early departure. The Shehzadi nodded graciously, expressing her gratitude before dismissing the woman with a gentle wave. [color=904342]"Call for the palaquin."[/color] The woman bowed respectfully and gracefully exited the duo. [color=904342]"I apologize for that, Miss Dantes,"[/color] Nahir spoke with a touch of regret in her voice as she turned to her dance partner, a polite smile on her lips. [color=904342]"But it seems my night has come to an end."[/color] Taking her hand, Nahir brought it up to her face and pressed a gentle kiss on the back of Miss Dantes's hand. [color=904342]"I hope to see you in the future, dear. You've made my one wish for tonight come true, and for that, I thank you."[/color] With one last smile and a bow of her head, she turned to leave. [/color][/indent][/indent]
