"May I present, Ambassador Aldero Tirilion of Idunno from the Empire of
Leanness, escorting Lady Katalina Nalakita Sorentino Fa Galahad, niece of
his imperialness, Emperor Paltear Sorentino Dri Galahad of the great
Empire, Leanness."
"You think he could have messed up any more of my names? I definitely think he skipped a few as well. " I mutter to Aldero, who chuckles lightly and leads me down the stairs; wrinkles of amusement light up his weathered face. "But then again he was turning red from the lack of air, so I guess I forgive him."
"Oh, look there's the annoying boy prince, what's his name... Ahhh, Prince Jonathan. I think I owe him a dunking in the horse trough later." I add dryly.
"Highness you give me something to look forward to every visit, that's for sure." Aldero laughs softly.
"I didn't intend for that to be funny." I mummer out of the corner of my mouth, making him laugh even harder. By the time we reach the Dias where their majesties were seated, Aldero had to bend over to catch his breath. I am well aware of the stares and glares of hatred and jealousy from the other ladies of the court. I curtsy deeply.
"I thank your majesties for allowing me to make a home in your fair realm. I have been given the permission to start negotiating a peace alliance with you from his imperialness, the Emperor of Leanness. I hope the talks will go smoothly and,,,"
Suddenly I feel a strong vibration from the sapphire gem around my neck, something..
Just then I catch sight of an arrow flying towards me, someone leaps and pushes me aside; Thor slices the arrow down and stands by the person who saved my life. By then about twenty men had formed a circle around me, looking behind me I see they had done the same for the King and Queen. Where was the prince? Looking around I see the prince is the one standing next to Thor.
"Oh great! Just what I need, to be indebted to the prince!" I mutter. The prince and I were not really on the best of terms. Last time we met he threw a mud ball on my newest dress and my black hair; who cares if he was only seven at the time, I still loved that dress and my hair had turned a dull brown until the maids shampooed it several more times. Humph!
"Take the stairs, find the assassin!" he commanded from his position. "And for goddess sake, stay down Lady Katalina!" I cock an eyebrow at his back, his voice certainly got deeper.
"Don't use your magic milady, you need not worry, the situation is under control." Thor states over his shoulder.
"Aldero, are you alright?" I ask my companion.
"I'll live, are you alright? How many does this make it?" He asks in a worn out voice filled with concern.
"I'm fine, I believe this makes it the thirty fourth attempt. One more time and I think I can win the rubber ducky!" Thor looks at me strangely. "Oh nothing." I smile sheepishly. "Do I look like a walking target here?!" I ask nobody in particular.
"Actually you.."
"Jonathan! Behave!" Queen Lianne commands from her new spot beside me.
I just glare at his back, gritting my teeth. If only I could hit him. I can almost see the grin he's wearing on his arrogant, stuck up, obnoxious face! Oh how I hate him!
"We have the culprit Majesties, the place is clear." With a sigh of relief I get up and walk over to Aldero who wanted to talk to Thor. On the way I decide to hit the oh so handsome and wondrous prince that everyone is dying to marry on his oh so arrogant head..with the blunt end of my shakusan.
I know I know, you're asking why not the sharp end. Well it wouldn't do for me to kill their heir regent when I was instructed to make a peace alliance with them, now would it?
"Dinner is served." Announces a very pale looking page. "Shall we adjourn to the dinning halls my lords and ladies?" the king commands.
**review please**
