Thread: Skin Deep... To The Bone [-Haru & Candy-]

Amirah had wanted to raise an eyebrow as confusion began to worm its way into her heart, did her future mother and father-in-law hold no distaste for her as it appeared her dear husband did? The bow that the king gave her made her beam and when his hand collected hers and his lips pressed against her skin, the princess hoped that the princes kiss was just as heart hammering. You are too kind Sire, she returned, I should wish not to be a burden upon your house, but thank you. Shira was pleased to at least see that his daughter was not only behaving herself but also that the family that he was offering his daughter up to at least seemed content with her. When it came time for the prince to show the same formality towards her and his hand lifted hers to his lips, she almost burst into a fit of giggles when all she felt was a blast of warm air and her hand was dropped so abruptly what a spoiled little twit! It was no matter, neither she nor this Prince Xendorian had a choice in their union. Thank you highness, she cooed, turning her attention away from the prince, intent on showing this little brat that while she may be the foreigner here within his country, she would not allow him to treat her like anything but what she was. He does not deserve my affections nor shall I give him any, if he wishes me to be a loving wife than he must seek it out Amirah thought bitterly, letting her cyan eyes flick towards the beautiful elven man, wondering just what would be said when the formalities were through. As her arm was collected by the king and Shiras by the Queen Mother, Amirah once more offered a kind smile, Twould be a lie if I did not say that I am tired from such a long journey, and while a nap sounded divine, the princess knew that Shira would demand that she spend time with her husband. As the troupe silently walked through what seemed like a dizzying amount of corridors, Amirah admired the view as they passed by large windows that let in the natural, warm light. Her eyes glittered excitedly, she was enchanted by the beauty that surrounded her surely she had stepped out of her world and into that of a fairytale. Your kingdom is glorious Highness, no words known to man or Gods can aptly describe its beauty. And while it was beautiful and the princess could feel her lungs tighten as Griffin riders so easily flew past the large windows, the golden feathers that beat the air appearing to shimmer with an otherworldly beauty, she worried that the large black steed she had been given by her father would not be taken care of as the griffins or perhaps it would be slain. Such trivial things to be concerned with... When they came upon the library, Amriah instantly halted and admired the vast walls of books while she knew many of them were likely in Elven tongue, she knew at some point she would retreat within its confines and find herself lost among the smell of ink and bound leather. As they continued and they were deposited within their room.The room was immaculate with warm woods were carved into statues of Elven goddess, billowing gossamer cloth that hung from the three bay windows and two adjoining doors towards where Amirah could only guess to be her personal bathing quarters and closet. Thank you for your hospitality your highness, Amirah stepped away from the king and curtsied low, her long platinum tresses falling over her shoulder, her eyes flicking towards the prince as he appeared to sneer in disgust, which instantly beckoned a grin to turn up the princess lips. I should not wish to burden my lord with such a menial task as escorting his fiancee, she cooed, keeping those crystalline cyan eyes practically locked onto the princes visage, I will beg his royal highness if I should think of something I desire. Nothing instantly came to mind and even if she did desire to look around the city, she did not wish to be within the princes company.
