Thread: Yes, Prin... cess? (IWishxRedThorn)

Prince Kadin Dilakt stood at the threshold of the grand room, or rather more precisely the threshold of a new life. Every year of his living existence had been leading up to this moment and now it was suddenly upon him. He swallowed thickly, remembering how important this was to his father and for his Isadoln kingdom how important this was for him. The rival kingdom was smaller, but never underestimated. They had proven fierce in battle and as a heavy political force, and Kadins father was wise to try and smooth things over in this manner. He cupped one hand into the other behind his back trying to appear as collected as possible. His attire was rich, regal, and classy the perfect apparel to woo the heart of a princess, hopefully. Yet it wasnt pompous or grand like so many of the opinions garnered by foreigners about the Isadoln kingdom. Kadin was never so, and adamantly refused to wear the over-jeweled necklaces, heavy robes, and flashy accessories. His suit made him appear tallthis he knew, and he wondered at what height Princess Alexis would stand compared to his. He heard she was a beauty with dark hair and emerald eyes. His only regret was that he couldnt have met her before this momentous occasion. They would write about this event in history books for ages down the road in both kingdoms! It was a shame the two betrothed had been forbidden to meet beforehand. But Kadin was confident the Princess was a jewel of a prize because rumors held her so in such high regard. Finally, things were coming together for the good. Kadin was well aware of how pleased his father was to see this union come into motion. To be honest, the Prince was happily pleased as well. Everything sat well on Kadin so far, and there seemed to be nothing ugly rearing its head in opposition to the royal marriage. Everyone was happy. Even those old bastards who sat on the Council of Nine were happy to see this get underway. As far as Kadin was concerned he was doing exactly what was expected from him and soon would be sharing the bed with a foreign beauty night after day, and day after night. Life couldnt get any better! There were festival tapestries that hang from the ceilings in rich colors which swayed with the fresh waft of air rushing into the grand room as the anticipated doors opened to reveal the arrival of the Princess and her escort. Alike the marble columns that stood in perfect rows about the room, all the people who had packed into the place turned their faces to see the royal visitors. The sound of horns flared up to herald her entrance before Kadin could gather his wits, and there she was even more stunningly beautiful then the rumors had painted her to be. Kadins hands fell away from behind his back to grace his sides, and despite the seriousness of the event and what it meant for both kingdoms, he held a genuine smile on his handsome face for his wife-to-be. His dark eyes, which contrasted perfectly to the silver hue of his thick hair, glinted in excitement to her lovely sight. Alexis father escorted her down the wide aisle giving his blessing to the agreement, and once she had reached Kadins side the prince bowed to the foreign King and to her, both. His eyes sought for Alexis emeralds before he stood straight again. Kadins father rose up from his throne chair and took a few steps forward to offer his acknowledgement as well. Welcome to Isadoln! You are most welcomed here on this grand occasion the day we finally seal this peace treaty and set it in stone. With the union of our children we will be joined as sister kingdoms and all quarrels set aside.
