"Your Majesty, welcome to our home. Please, let me introduce my wife, Lilibeth, and my daughter Kallen." The Earl of Wiltshire beamed at the King as he introduced his family.
"Ah, Lady Lilibeth, its been a long time. How have you been?" The King said, bringing his hands up for Lilibeth to kiss in greeting.
Gripping his hands, she dipped into a low curtsy before pressing her small lips against his knuckles. "I've been very well, your majesty. Thank you for remembering me, and for gracing our humble home with your presence."
The king slowly pulled his hands away, his smile never wavering. "That's great to hear. But we must thank you for allowing us this visit. Your home is lovely. Miss Stadfeld, I do believe this is our first meeting. How do you do?" The king turned his attention to the red-headed beauty standing behind her mother.
Her head was tilted down already in a demure fashion and she bowed low. "Pleased to meet you, your Highness." Her voice was soft and delicate.
Raising his hands for her to kiss, he watched carefully for a glimpse of her face.
She rose, and took hold of his hands with her small ones before bringing her mouth down to ghost over his knuckles before pulling away abruptly. She turned her face then, a light blush staining her cheeks completely at odds with the rather pissed off look she bore. Her amazing blue eyes were focused hard on something in the distance, her lips pursed.
Before he could comment or her mother could scold her, the Earl pulled his attention away and the King was forced to follow as the Earl began a tour of the large and spacious grounds of his estate.
The king was half listening, his thoughtsstill on the beauty that he had just met. Glancing back, he saw her walking away, head held high as her mother followed along behind her in an aggravated pace. She looked back as if sensing his gaze on her.
Appearing to snort, she turned her head quickly and walked faster.
The King smiled.
A/N: I've absolutely got no business writing a new story, I know. It's just a guilty pleasure. Code Geass is my absolute favorite at this point. I have an entire folder dedicated to CG with half written ideas and one-shots, and full stories.
This particular piece is actually a part of a bigger story I am trying (failing) to writing at the moment. I chose to upload this separately because I'm not sure its going to make it into the story, so I decided to make it an entirely separate thing. This is expected to be short, with only a few chapters.
This piece is set in old England, with the rest of my main story. I hope to have the first chapter out by the end of the month, or at least, I hope so.
Sorry for the ridiculously long a/n. Let me know if I should finish up this little Kalulu fic.
