Thread: A Kingdom in Turmoil  (ThickLeaves x Sketchyequine)

Charles was admitinally very concerned with her reaction, he could say with certainty that she would allow him to have the dance, considering how much it meant to their relationship. But he was worried about the dance itself, whether she would make it into a whole thing or just let them share a nice and relaxing moment together. Now that they were both involved in the Kingship and Queenship, everything they planned to do had to be thought out to ever inch. A small yet warm smile found its way to his lips, glad that he could have the dance with his Queen, that they could sway their way through the ballroom and celebrate like they were meant to be celebrating. After all he had a fair share of danced back in his days as a young prince, and looked forward to having another but as a King, even if it meant his dances were confined to this one female. Soon he stepped forward ever so slightly towards the female, taking her hand in his once again. His other hand slithered around her waist, hugging at the small of her back as he pulled her ever so closer, that was until he could feel her chest brushing against his. Charles wasnt some giant muscular man but he wasnt a frail scribe either, he pushed his broad chest out against the females. Their clothes and of course their bodies touching was nothing he hadnt expected, eventually he was due to bed the woman, if he couldnt handle it during a simple dance than he wasnt fit to rule, let alone marry the woman. A large breath came in, and soon after an equally as large one flew out and he nodded to himself. He tried to clear his mind of every thought that was streaming through. Trying to forget the past, stop himself of thinking of the future, and even trying to ignore parts of the present. He was trying to enjoy the female, not the party or the celebration or their current standings. He wanted to spend time with Eliza, whether they were married, separated, or mortal enemies. His eyes slowly opened and he looked upon the beautiful lady before him, the corners of his lips lifted a tiny bit more, widening his smile. Thank you, my Queen, I was worried Id have to end the gathering. While he was clearly joking this time around, his comment from earlier made it unsure if he would go to that extent or not. Charles had been so use to getting every little thing that he asked for through his life, whether it was a tangible item or just the love or approval of those around him. Him being the only heir to his kingdom made his father essentially serve him, rather than having it reversed like it was for most. So having Eliza refute him at what seemed to be every turn got under his skin, causing him to seek the approval of the female by any means, especially since they were destined to spend the rest of their lives together at this point. Charles was always the social guy, so he needed to get his wife to enjoy him just as much as everyone else had. Charles didnt want the relationship between them to be completely made of victories against one another. Of course their marriage would have their own disagreements and arguments on matters, but in this case he didnt think this should be their first. After all, despite his hate for the situation they were together in this. She was facing the same problem he was and he was still burning with hate over it, but at least his hate was developing into hate for the world and not her. Eliza was beginning to grow on him, he was impressed by her inner strength and tenacity. His dark brown orbs stared into her own with a smile still glued to his face. Well to be fair this is a gathering for the both of us, not just me. So sitting on the throne and brooding over it hardly seems appropriate. Despite his stubborn and rough personality he male did realize this fact. He allowed his orbs to look over the female, having the seeming perfect view of the female, able to take in all of her features at once. She truly was fit to be a princess, and even more so to be the Queen that she now was. He was use to the nearby kingdoms having heirs and daughters that were far from being considered fair, but she was truly a maiden like no other. The way her silken locks perfectly fell, the complexion she had, everything fit together as if she was a gift given from the gods themselves. His grip around the females waist remained, he squeezed the side of her body gently to keep the grip he had upon her. Slowly he shuffled his feet along with the music, moving their bodies through the floor. As their bodies continued to float across the ground he slowed the female, letting his hand move above her head as he tugged at her waist lightly, trying his very best to send the female in a small twirl. There was no chance that he would let her go, but he couldnt spin the female completely without her assistance, after all dancing couldnt be done on ones lonesome. As he attempted to spin her his hand stayed in hers, slowly his fingers worked their way between hers, interlocking them without even thinking. His feet sunk into the ground, Charles was strong and there was no way that hed allow her to tumble, and he didnt want to even move her the wrong way in the slightest. The female was so perfect within his arms that she felt like a feather that he was prancing around with. As soon as the female finished her little spin within his arms he spun himself, taking the pair within a full spin rather than just her. He watched the females golden locks fly through the air as they spun, the whole sequence spurred a small chuckle from the male. He mightve enjoyed the females company and was doring a rather terrible job at hiding it. But at the same time it could have been the copious amount of alcohol that was flowing through his veins, that was causing his skin to feel hot to the touch. Even he found it hard to tell the difference, but at this point he didnt care. If he was enjoying the moment then he wouldnt hide it forever, but if he so desired he could blame the alcohol in a heartbeat. Afterall, who would blame a king for drinking to his hearts desire after his wedding?
