| Lirael was taken aback by her fathers statement, why the sudden change of heart? Yeah he wasnt such a bad guy, but she didnt want to marry him! As if they would take the guillotine of their heads so easily. Where was the trick? She looked at Willas with a frown, was he thinking the same or on a totally different train? Her gaze went back to Rowen, did she know anything about this before hand? |
| [b]Rowen[/b] Rowen was a bit surprised by the emperor's announcement, and it showed on her face. [i]Why the hell would he go through all this trouble just to call the wedding off? |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas looked at the Emperor in surprise, his father had agreed to this as well?!? Willas still thought that they needed to crush Kabul, and the only way they could do that was an alliance. No marriage, no alliance. No, he didn't want to be married to the girl, she was okay, but Willas still wanted to choose who he married. But he wanted peace more, he wanted this war to end, it was his duty to do this. He looked at Lirael, wondering if she would remember what he said. He breathed in deeply and spoke, I would be honored to marry your daughter your highness, if she would have me, he spoke with a neutral tone, not wanting to betray his true emotions. |
| Lirael didnt say anything, she just remained silent anew not saying anything, after all, what could she do? If someone of such status said he wanted to marry her then she would have no choice but to accept, at least she did not despise him as much as the rumours had made her despise him, but that didnt mean she liked him. Also Rowen's surprise was interesting, she hadnt thought that Rowen would have been left in the dark on such an important issue that must have been what the geezers were talking about last night so intently |
| Emperor Althalos Benedict Althalos nodded to the Prince, he could see the boy was all about duty, no matter how he hid it. He turned to Lirael, Lirael? He asks, implying that it was her turn to answer the question. |
| "I do not deem it necessary to answer father" She replied to his unspoken question, using the mask of neutrality |
| Emperor Althalos Benedict Althalos sighed, I want you to be happy Lirael, so I deem it necessary, do you wish to be married to Prince Elendere? He asks her, a serious expression on his face. |
| She just stood there stoically staring straight ahead not meeting anyone's gaze, why was he being so cruel? Giving her the choice to a long term peace alliance or let it all crumble down to grains of sand? If one thing she had realised in the last few hours was that it was necessary to do, it was, but he was asking her if she wanted to do it. Of course she didnt 'want' to do it! |
| Emperor Althalos Benedict Althalos sighed, I will give you more time to decide Lirael, he says to her. He turns and opens the door, then he looks back at Rowen, Come one Rowen, let us go. He says to her before leaving the room. |
| "Yes, father" She replied still staring ahead |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas looks hesitantly at Lirael, she clearly didn't want to, how did her father not see that? Willas thought that he himself had seemed pretty reluctant as well, yet the Emperor had simply nodded. It seemed the man was stuck in between his daughters happiness and his duty to his country, would he turn away 35,000 men for his daughters happiness? That was the question and Willas could tell it was a hard one. |
| "You owe me the explanation behind the stupid metaphors" She told Willas turning to him with a lopsided grin on her face as she yawned and stretched. friends, maybe they could be friends, but nothing more, she didnt want to marry him, but if she had to then at least they could be friends |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas smiled slightly and looked at the door, That nearly gave me a heart attack. By the way, do I have to explain it now? He asks her, a little bit flustered considering he didn't really want to explain it to her. |
| "You promised" she replied falling back onto the bed and looking up at the ceiling, it looked different from hers even though it was just painted plain white |
| Prince Willas Elendere He scooted over to the edge of the bed and looked down at his hands, W- Well, um, you see. When... he clears his throat and takes a deep breath, he would just explain it in one big go. [b]When a man and a woman want to have children or feel pleasure, most of the time it's the latter, the man will put his genitalia into the woman's genitalia and he will move it inside her. They will do this for a time and then at the end they will... they will have something called an orgasm. |
| "Do you take me for an ignorant girl on the streets?" She sighed staring up at the ceiling still, she had overheard several vivid descriptions from peers "Whats the link with that and the flowers and the bee's?" She perched herself up on her elbows to look at him |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas looked at her, Well if you've heard of sex then you should know. But at the orgasm the man will ejaculate and a substance called semen will go into the woman's womb, then after that a baby starts to grow and the woman falls pregnant. He says blatantly, looking at her with a straight face as he said it. |
| "Aha!" her closed fist hit against her open hand "So the man would be the flower and the woman the bee!" She said excitedly as she understood it |
| Prince Willas Elendere I'm rather surprised you didn't know what it was to be honest, he says to her with a small smile. |
| Ignoring his statement she let an awkward silence move in and settle on top of them, still debating, wondering what to do, what was the correct answer? So she just let herself plop back down on the bed while pondering possible outcomes |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas stayed sitting on the bed, I will say this though, you have to do what you believe is best. Don't listen to your father or myself, find out what you want to do. Don't be pressured by the fact that I've agreed. He says to her, before getting up and walking over to a dresser, looking for a hairbrush. |

| "Do you have any spare slacks there and a shirt thats small on you?" Lirael couldnt be bothered to walk to the other end of the castle, never mind in the dress |
| Prince Willas Elendere Shirts? Pfff, I don't wear shirts, he says, finding a hairbrush and then walking over to his wardrobe. He pulls out some slacks and a dressing gown, he tosses them to her. There you go, he says before starting to brush his hair. |
| "Who doesn't have shirts" She grumbled as she went behind the screen to pull the trousers and the dressing gown on. A few minutes later Lirael came out stretching and sat on the bed again watching how he combed his hair. It was funny, he took more care of his hair than she took of her own |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas looks at her, You look so stupid in that, he says to her while still combing his hair. |
| "Be my guest, swap bodies with me then, you can wear dresses and stare at yourself in the mirror all you want and I can wear slacks and get dirty while you spend hours doing your hair" Lirael replied slightly annoyed, "And you just called the heir of Arzla stupid, I would watch your tongue Prince" She warned him coldly |
| Prince Willas Elendere He grinned a little at her reaction, Ouch, who knew you cared about your looks? I mean, you could be stunning if you wanted to, he says nonchalantly, obviously not thinking of it as a compliment. |
| "I wouldnt want your body to care about my looks" she sighed, that way I wouldnt be cursed to not be able to stop my bleeding or have to follow pleasantries, I could just jump on a horse in the morn and come back in the eve, and do a few duties here and there, "Why do you care about your looks so?" She asked in turn |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas stopped brushing his hair for a second, Why wouldn't I, I'm gorgeous so I want to make myself even more so. He says simply, putting down the hair brush since his hair was now fabulous again. |
| "I see" She hummed to herself "Rumours say you like men, thats why you groom yourself to such standards.." she rolled over on the bed so she was now staring at the sheets. She was bored. Would this be an everyday scene if she married him, to watch him spend more time than the ladies at court combing his hair? |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas stared at her, [b]I like men? Excuse me I prefer women, I'm just not interested in their groveling. |
| "mhm" Lirael answered not really listening, he was even more boring than the court woman, she looked out the window longingly, and she had to marry him? This wanna-be-woman? |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas sits back down on the bed, [b]So, you going to tell me why you couldn't ride Sultansbane last night? |
| "I was wearing a dress, I dont think I can come up with a more obvious reason to be honest" Lirael rolled back over on the bed so she was now facing him |
| Prince Willas Elendere So you would be fine riding her now? He asks her, curious. |
| "I dont feel like riding now" Lirael answered with simplicity, why this topic of all the possible topics? |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas frowned a little, You were pretty upset last night when I knocked you down, much more upset than most would be now that I think about it. |
| "My faverouit dress got wrecked" She waved the accusation of |
| Prince Willas Elendere I doubt that's the real reason but if you don't want to spill then I won't press you anymore, he says as he begins to tie his hair back in a ponytail. |
| "What makes you think that there must be a more complex reason?" She observed him while he tied his hair in a pony tail, how could he stand having such longhair? |
| Prince Willas Elendere He turned and looked at her, Probably because of the fact that you don't strike me as a "feminine" girl, more of a tomboy in fact, who wouldn't care about a dress, he says, finishing his ponytail and resting his hands on the bed, leaning back on them and looking at her. |
| "Totally opposite from you then" she spoke with a smirk, "I still have to keep up an act of half hearted feminity either way though" she shrugged |
| Prince Willas Elendere Hmph! I doubt femininity includes warfare, he says to her with an upturned nose. And you're certainly not acting half feminine to me, if I marry you, like or not people will start to think I really am gay, he adds with a small smirk. |
| "You didn't see Rowen I take it then? She was ready to gut you like a fish, she's a woman, just like Aurelia, and they both have men's jobs and are better tacticians than you are yourself" she sighed massaging her forehead with both hands "you act feminine, so one of us has to pick up the other end of the stick" |
| A knock at the door was heard, It was Aurelia looking for Lirael |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas laughed at this, No, but that woman is more like you. More tomboyish, he says as he continues to look at her. Believe me, I wish you were the man, then I could leave running the country up to you. He looked at the door, [b]Someone is looking for you it seems princess. |
| "How do you know it's for me? You open it, I can't be bothered" she rolled anew on the bed so she was facing the window "so you'd marry a man if it meant leaving the rule to someone else heh..? " she murmured to herself |
| Prince Willas Elendere Willas chuckled, Yes I would, he says as he goes to the door and opens it. He raises his eyebrow at the woman outside, Yes? |
| Aurelia was rubbing her head and quietly asks "Lirael here?...." |
| Prince Willas Elendere He smiles and looks back at Lirael, See? I was right. Who else would come to my room this early? Not my father or mother, they're not too keen on early mornings, he turns back to Aurelia, She is here as you can tell, he steps out of the way and allows her to go through. |
