~Arabella, Princess of Elyadon~
Arabella's temper flared hotly and resisted the urge to lash out, not only with words, at her sister's fiance. She regarded him with cold, hard eyes, like she did whenever someone used that dreaded word; 'expects'. "Then the court will have to wait a little while longer. I would prefer to mourn my brother alone," she snapped. "I does the thought not even occur to you that I did not mean to upset Serena? Or were you just following what you'd heard servants say about wild princess Arabella? Stubborn Arabella? Mean, cruel, misbehaving, unladylike, violent Arabella."
