I looked at Denis, both amused and curious as I wondered if he knew just exactly what he’d gotten himself into.
“Yes, lead the way cousin,” I said with a grin.

"Alright then." I smiled to the group and turned to the Queen. "May I escort you Your Majesty?"

I chuckled softly. "Thank you lord Denis." I said taking his arm.

I bowed softly before she took my arm and then smiled to the others gesturing for them to follow. Beginning down the street where I was told to follow, left, down two blocks right...

I smiled at Mercedes and fell into step with her as we followed Denis and Sabrina.

"So how are you finding living with my dear cousin?" I asked Leyna as we fell into step, returning her smile.

“Wonderful,” I answered, smiling wide at the mention of Nic. “It has taken some getting used to of course, but I wouldn’t change a thing. How are you finding the City?”

"It's all so new," I said with a smile. "And I'm still not used to seeing all the D'Angeline faces surrounding me. I'm quite enjoying myself though."

“When you do get used to it, maybe you could give me some tips so that when Nic takes me to Aragonia I can be prepared,” I said with a laugh. “I’m very glad to hear you’re enjoying yourself though.”
I stepped a little closer and dropped my voice so only she could hear. “And I hope my cousin didn’t bother you too much, he’s a terrible flirt but a good person beneath it all.”

While Leyna and Mercedes spoke behind us I turned to the Queen.
"I hear that your sister the Princess Daphine is courting the Prince Walid Al-Wahed." I said casually in curiousity of the Queen's reaction.

"It's just not something I'm used to," I replied in the same tone with a faint blush. And then I heard names on Denis's lips that caught my attention, and my smile froze on my face.

The news struck me like a kick to the gut...What?!
"This is the first I'm heard of it lord Denis." I said answering before my contempt flaired. Was she? No, I had to calm myself. It's probably just a rumour, just breath.

Before I could reply, something happened and I was certain I was missing part of the story somehow. I kept my mouth closed and continued walking, not making comment on either the Queen’s or Mercede’s reactions.

Breath Mercy, breath. You're supposed to be a courtier. And he told you himself not to believe everything you heard about him and the dauphine.
"So Nic offered me a room at your townhome," I said to Leyna, resolutely moving our half of the conversation along. "I'm not stepping on any toes if I accept am I? And please be honest, I would hate to be in the way."

“Not at all, it was my suggestion to start with that he make the offer,” I told her, smiling. “It’s only us there right now and even should my parent come to the City there is more than enough room for everyone.” I was very happy at the thought of Mercedes staying with us.

"Really?" I said raising my brow to her. "I've heard tell they're quite the pair, in love actually. They attending the hunt fete as a pair."

I smiled, grateful that she was so honestly welcoming. It soothed my ruffled feathers at the mention of his name.
"Perhaps after Beltane, I'll see if I can't pack my things again," I replied happily. The date was sooner than I had told Nic, but I had pushed it off in the first place because I wasn't sure of his fiancée's feelings.

“Whenever you are ready, you are welcome,” I said, smiling as I reached out and touched her arm in a gesture of friendship.
“Is there anything special you prefer in a room? Morning sun? A balcony?”

"Really?" I said trying to avoid delving any deeper. "I'll have to ask." It was more a jest then anything, but in truth I was going to have to ask to be certain if what Denis said was truth or not.

"I would adore a balcony," I said with a smile. "Especially with the weather warming up."

Smiling, I nodded slightly. “Then I know just the room for you, a balcony and a wonderful evening breeze for those warm nights,” I told her. “I’ll make sure it’s ready for you whenever you should choose to come stay with us.”

"Thank you Leyna, I truly appreciate your generosity," I told her, smiling.

“It is my pleasure, truly,” I told her, smiling wide. “Not only are you family, but I hope we can be friends.”

"It would be an honour," I said with another smile. "I'm glad my cousin found you."

"Then again I could be wrong, I'm sure the monarchy has vile rumours spread about them on a regular basis." Ah the tangled webs we weave. "I certainly hope it's not true, for your dear younger sister to be swept away to another country. Nothing more then chattal? Distasteful."

“So am I,” I said, flushing a little with happiness at talk of Nic.”He’s all I ever dreamed of in the man I would marry, I don’t know how I got so lucky.”

"I hope you don't mind if I'm just a little jealous," I said with a little smile. "Not of Nic specifically, but your happiness."

"You think he would?" I played up to his words trying hard to keep myself in thoughts of peace. "That's what the rumours say?"

“If I wasn’t me, I’d be jealous of my happiness,” I said with a wry chuckle. “I’ll try not to be too annoyingly happy, I promise.”

"Well you know rumours." I said smiling to ther Queen. "I'm simply concerned for the Dauphine, I wouldn't want to see her hurt by some neferious scheme." I added with soft grin keeping light of the conversation.
