[color=silver][color=#7D7FDB] “But first and foremost, I am here for Lucy, so I am rather interested in making certain the women of this court have not pulled every last shining red lock from his head.”[/color]

Ambrose’s gaze followed the line of Marina’s fan as she surveyed the ballroom. There was no missing the prince once one knew where to look. Lucian stood across the room in a knot of nobles and candlelight, all polished poise and irritatingly princely composure, his auburn hair made him stand out like a sore thumb.

His jaw set almost imperceptibly as his eyes settled on Lucian. Whoever the prince had been speaking to moments ago was no longer holding his attention, carried off instead by the natural ebb and flow of the ballroom, leaving him standing momentarily alone between conversations. How convenient.

The tension that always bubbled between the Knight and the Prince he was sworn to protect was something that Ambrose’s face struggled to hide. This moment was no exception. The man’s vigilant expression shifted into more of a scowl as he realized that soon the two would be forced to interact. Still, Marina had made her target known, and above any [i]personal issues[/i] he may have with the Prince… His honor, and duty came first. The woman simply wished to see her brother, and that, at least, Ambrose understood without difficulty.

[color=#9E664C]“There he is.”[/color] His voice dropped low for her ears alone, dry as old parchment. [color=#9E664C]“And thankfully for you, your brother appears to be mostly in one piece.”[/color] His gaze shifted back to the princess as he spoke, and he allowed the scowl to soften into a look of sarcasm that she would surely recognize. [color=#9E664C]“This way, princess…”[/color] He said as he moved to part the crowd and make way so a sister could be reunited with her brother after a long, trying day. [/color]
