Thread: The Prince's New Plaything (Valanaer x Forbidden)

When it happened it was perfect, the exact type of reaction Christian had been looking to get. Kirra snapped, the invitation to his bed being the final push, and she hit him in the face. To his surprise it wasn't a simply slap though, in fact it was a well placed punch and it managed to catch him slightly off guard. With such an action it wasn't only his brother who got to see but the entire crowd, every single person in attendance quieting down and looking in the direction, a few gasps and horrified looks from all around. His brother was right behind her though, his face slightly shocked at what he had just witnessed but he had yet to say anything, instead Kirra spoke first, and she responded with guts, not backing down in the least. William could only stare at the woman he was engaged to for a moment but it was not in disappointment or horror, but instead he seemed to be happy by her words and actions. After a moment a small smile came to his face, soft and kind as always, No, don't worry about it, if a woman actually stood up to Christian every once in awhile maybe he would stop playing around and be serious for once. When the first prince blew it off the crowd followed, a few people continuing to find amusement in her words, agreeing that their second prince needed some manners, and the rest not caring as long as William was alright with it. Christian was alright with it though, he knew his brother wouldn't be mad, he just wanted to show what kind of woman Kirra was, and of course see for himself, and he had. It had brought a smirk to his face as a matter of fact, the second prince easily recovering from the punch, having taken far worse in daily training. He simply stood up straight, walking around Kirra, daring to brush his hand against her back discretely as he did, and stood next to his brother, giving the man a small grin, and although William did not smile back he didn't make a fuss either, being annoyed with his brother but not having the desire to speak an ill word to anyone, especially his blood. It allowed Christian to show Kirra what kind of man his brother was as well, show her how 'nice' he was and how he wouldn't get mad for something so trivial as a hit or rudeness, and it was obvious he was a very meek person by nature. William soon began to speak though, addressing his soon to be bride with as gentle a voice as ever. I am happy to finally meet you, I am William Gallant, and you have already met my brother Christian. He said pointing over to his brother before continuing. I must say, I am quite surprised that you are as beautiful as rumored, I always expect such things to be exaggerations but this time they hold true. He gave her a small smile, even blushing slightly at his words which almost made Christian sigh. William didn't leave time for his brother to make any more fuss though, holding his hand out to Kirra and with one more smile he asked, Would you care to dance with me? William was a good dancer, practicing frequently, especially in recent days after the announcement of his engagement, wanting to be prepared for the days he got to dance with his beautiful bride, and today was that day, and his excitement obvious. Christian on the other hand only gave Kirra one last smirk, which was followed by a wink, before he left the engaged pair alone. He headed over to get a bit of food and perhaps search out another target, although Kirra was heavily on his mind, the punch actually being attractive to him, the strong woman making quite an impression, and not to mention her beauty...
