William caught Jason's smile and he forced a smile on his face in return. The prince was struggling to appear happy. Failing, actually. He didn't know the girl whom he was marrying, only her name, Victoria. The young man simply tried to push his worrisome thoughts out of his head. It was for his people that he was doing it. Not for his own interest. That and he knew if he were to speak, he'd only get angry and make this marriage thing worse. William continued, following Jason and going into the dining hall.

James watched as the baron greeted the royal family. He stayed quiet and merely following them. He had seen Gabrianna there before him, but kept quiet. He followed them close from behind with his hands behind his back, simply trying to do his job. James' eyes scanned the hall ways as they have done for so many years. He knews these walls inside out and from his knowledge, they were safe from any enemies today. So far, anyways.

she was aware of the looks that she received, standing there patiently, waiting for her dear friend. the alarian servants and guards were watching, as if wanting to see what animal would come running at her call. there were more than a few gasps and murmers when yoska approached and bowed. jess' smile grew and she placed her delicate hand on his shoulder. "come, dear friend. it's time to meet the alarian royalty. my future husband will likely be there, i'll need the comfort and strength your presence brings me." her words were soft when she mentioned her fiancé, so only he would hear, before she began to follow her family inside and through the halls, making sure yoska stayed at her side..

the young woman stayed silent, allowing the princess to choose what to eat. after all, this would likely be their last picnic together. Victoria and Cheyenne went on picnics together often, usually alone but at times taking charis with them. they had a small hidden meadow near the waterfall, off in the forest, where they went to be alone together, when they needed time away from the rush of royal life. "you're lucky your parents don't want you meeting your fiancé until the wedding; otherwise we would be forced to have meal with them. they are awaiting the wennington royalty now in the dining hall. may I suggest going the back way to avoid them?"

he made his way through the castle, having already memorized the various passages, halls, and turns with his intelligence and quick learning nature. entering the grand dining room, where the alarian royalty sat, the king and queen of wennington were introduced, the queen smiling at the other royal pair, whereas the king gave a simple nod of his head. "they're majesties, the king and queen linscott of wennington, and their four children."he announced, leaving out yoska.

Charis smiled widely nodding. " That sounds lovely your highness, I'll gather up the quilts and get the food." She smiled widely giggling playfully. " And maybe we can get a look at your fiance." Charis hummed happily. "It's been ages..." She smiled wistfully and bowed to each of the girls before heading out to the kitchens to get the food for their outing.
~~
Charis hummed personally making each of the sandwiches, she was one of the older maids and besides the king queen and cook the oldest in the castle... She was rather old... Quickly she shook her head and went to work making many types of sandwiches the scullery maids and cooks simply moving around her. She was not her own person, after so many years of working here, her stubbornness and the delicacy of her original job she had become a part of this family, of this castle. She had "bought" her freedom about ten years ago, but a poor foreigner with no husband, no family, and now dowry. It seemed foolish to leave.
Delicately she tucked the sandwiches into a basket along with water skins full of sweetened water and juices. As a second thought she added a jar of olives, apples, some cheese and the chocolate as requested, with a personal favorite of her's, sweet fruit bread. She nodded to the cook who hummed and then went back to serving the other royals and preparing for the wedding feast. Carefully she gathered the large basket with the food and went to find a suitable quilt.
She was quite fond of needlework, and would make quilts to sell for a few spare coins, her room was full with many bright patch work blankets. Looking through she found one that was large and soft, with a dainty sewn princess with a bowing knight, small roses in each of the large corners and a bright square tower. It seemed fitting for their outing and situation, and when she had been a child, the princess loved it. Charis would make up stories about the quilt and tell them to the eldest princess and her dolls. Silently she wondered if the princess remembered, bitterly she reminded herself that the princess was not her child. She was just a maid...
She folded the old quilt carefully and carried it with the blanket back the the princess room, knocking the best she could with both her arms full. "M'lady, sir knight. I have everything you will need, should I accompany you to the gardens?"

Victoria still stared at her hands as Cheyenne spoke. "You're right. At least we get one last picnic. The back way yes... " she trailed off, realizing what she'd said. One last picnic. Most likely this was true, for she'd be busy preparing for other stuff after marriage. Organizing, getting ready to become queen... kids. Kids. That thought was absolutely terrifying in itself. Ugh.
When Charis came back in, she stood. " Yes Charis, you should accompany us. You're both important to me, having been there through my childhood. We should all be together. " she said.

" Welcome to Alaria. I ever hope that you do enjoy your stay." The king said, standing. "My children, aside from Victoria of course, shall be down momentarily." He added, looking at the queen. She nodded curtly, also annoyed at the tardiness of the children.

Vasilisa realizes that she was running a little late for lunch and quickly exits her room without her tiara. She didn't think about it until her maid came running up to her with it in her hands. Vasilisa lets the maid put the tiara in her hair before heading to the dining hall. She enters the dining room and says to her parents, "Sorry I'm late, mother and father.". Vasilisa notices that the Wennington royalty was already in the room and does a small curtsy to the king of queen of Wennington.

Charis smiled softly walking in, she set down the basket and quilt and tucked a strand of hair behind the princesses ear holding the young girls face gently. "I am only your maid, but to me you will always be my little girl. I knew from the moment I held you and your brother as wee babes you would always be my children. I had hoped I would see you on your wedding day, but not like this... Never like this."Gently she kissed the young woman's forehead smiling sadly. "Lets enjoy our evening, but this is not a last picnic. Even if I have to ride a horse bareback all the way to Wellington that man will treat you right, I can't go with you but I will try to write. You will be busy, but you are still a royal. Do not let yourself get caught up in this golden cage." She sighed happily shaking her head. "First you... Soon your brothers and sister will leave me too. Far too soon..." She shook her head smiling. "Well. I know that Cheyenne can't leave me yet, unless she want's to be persecuted as a homosexual or worse, a woman." She winked at the knight clearly joking and gathered her things nodding. "We best be off m'lady."

"Of course," Yoska said softly. He didn't say much more, secretly fretting the meeting of this fiance. He worried for his friend. It must be often to have to marry someone she'd never met. Who she didn't even seem happy to meet. His eyes wandered to the floor as they dipped into the crowd. There were so many people here to greet the royal family. Frankly, Yoska was perfectly happy being forgotten.

this was beyond awkward. the queen of this nation seemed very irritated, likely because only one of her four children had arrived; well three, since the princess, her brother's fiancé, would not be met until the wedding. she would be frustrated also, if there was a very important dinner, and her children were late. it was a sign of disrespect, really, and she just prayed her father didn't notice, since he would throw a fit about it. as they were welcomed to sit, she took her seat, directly next to her brother William, and quietly asked a nearby servant, "please get a small stool for my servant to sit behind me." back in her castle, he would be seated next to her, unlike most servants, but in this strange place, she didn't want to completely break the rules. most servants ate in the kitchen, no where near the royalty, but she refused to allow yoska out of her sight.

the young woman stayed silent, allowing the princess and maid to talk. she truly wasn't sure what was going to happen. she had been with Victoria practically her entire life. to be separated would be drastic for the knight, likely for the princess as well. she could only hope and pray that the king and queen would be kind enough, and able to, work out a deal with the wenningtons so that she could follow the princess, remaining her loyal guard, even if that meant moving to the rivaling nation. at the maid's joke, she couldn't help but scoff. "no. I shall not be getting married. hopefully ever. the thought of being tied down makes me nauseous." of course, after her words, she put her helmet back on and offered an arm to Victoria to take before entering the hall.

the silent young man did not say another word, simply pulling out chairs for each member of the royal family and pushing them back in, before taking the seat on the other side of William. as a baron, he was allowed to eat with the royals, but didn't dare talk infront of the alarians, not the way he normally would with just the wenningtons. the king opened his mouth to speak when the queen slapped his leg under the table, speaking instead. "it's fine. I just hope they join us soon. I'm dreadfully hungry after the long ride, as are all of my children." everyone knew that they could not begin a meal without everyone, it was completely rude.

Charis snorted at the knights comment shaking her head. "Just you wait. No one wants to be alone forever m'lady. Rather you marry young than be an old maid with no family like me." She smiled sadly and gathered their things fallowing behind the princess and knight to the meadows for their picnic. ((really short. sorry))

Victoria simply listened to other women's conversation, smiling sadly to herself. She had hope that somehow she'd be able to keep the two close, but yet... A knight, knighted to another kingdom? An old maid? Who was she kidding? She looked back up and took Cheyenne's arm, smiling. "I think marriage is absolutely fine, so long as to one you choose. " she said to Cheyenne. She followed her friend out into the hall, hoping that they wouldn't get caught. Getting caught by anyone would most definitely be awful. Just imagine her parent's reaction if they knew what she was to do! Sneaking out with ones as lowly as a knight and maid to have picnic. She could only imagine.
