[color=#B5B1CE]The evening was beginning to turn out as a mess. Elena wished she could go back in time and stop Count Emil from coming near her sister and Amira, and also for the naivety of the latter not to be involved in finding out [i]at the ball.[/i] Elena exhaled slowly, restraining her frustration, and not allowing anything more to show. 

Finally, Nora tugged a confused and bashful Amira away. Now it was Magnus and her with Count Emil and she did not want him involved. She glanced at her brother and her expression and body language both softened from the tight stance she maintained.

[color=#B5B1CE]”Magnus, can you please chaperone our dear sister and Shehzadi Amira?”[/color] She smiled at him sweetly, and gestured to the food table. [color=#B5B1CE]”Can you save me some sweets, please?”[/color] It was not entirely a command, but she did want him to leave so he was not getting into trouble. Elena set her hand on his cheek with a half-smile that read: [i]I got this. Please stay out of trouble.[/i]

Then, she removed her hand, and paused for a moment to collect herself. Once composed, she turned back to Count Emil, who was now far too close. She clasped her hands together and listened to him speak. Each word caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up and her skin to crawl. How could anyone be this abhorrent? It was as though she was something to be toyed before consuming. Discomfort ran through her, but she remained poised and dignified. His remark to wanting him to herself nearly made Elena gag. 

Elena narrowed her eyes at his proposition, but she knew she wanted to protect her siblings no matter what, so she steeled herself. In her mind, she wondered, what would break him–what would make him squirm like he enjoyed causing others to?

[color=#fff4b1]”I never want to see you, or any of your comrades or anyone else, near my siblings and Amira again. Do I make myself clear?”[/color] Elena retorted and narrowed her gaze at him. [/color]
