Vlad's Heir

Prince Mek

As stubborn as Isi wanted to be over this arranged marriage, the twins have talked with Isi about the better things of having this alignment. Now is the day she is to be introduced and Isi has made sure she is appealing to the eye.
Catilina has fixed her hair by curling it and draping it in a cascading effect down her back. The gown Isi had designed was an emerald green flared dress, embroidered with a red dragon climbing up from her feet to the empire waist, she had added this detail to honor the father she has yet to remeber.
Mircea added a simple gold tiara that had only a single square ruby at its center, she had a pair of earrings and a necklace crafted to match. After all of the preparation for Isi's meeting with Petre and her "future husband" had been completed, Isi imagined the main dining hall and then before she could exhale completely she was there.
The shock on the men's faces was worth the way she chose to enter. Recovering quickly Petre and two other men besides Mikel came forward to greet her. Mikel stood stiff at Isi's side while Petre introduced the men. "Isi this is Rammen who will be replacing me, "Petre indicated with a small hand gesture to a smaller man who seemed fresh out of grade school, "And this my dear Princess is Mek, Prince of Germany." As he said the second name the devastatingly handsome Prince took her right hand and kissed it.
As Isi looked at Prince Mek she saw that his hair was dark brown and cropped short next to his ears, his eyes were chocolate brown, and she even noticed a mole on his left cheek.
"Princess Isi, I have hear so much about you, am finally getting to meet you in person, I am happy the reports of your beauty are true." Prince Mek said with a heavy accent. "Prince, it's too bad I wasn't told how charming you are, " Isi said with false affection, "I wish Petre had said more about you." With that Isi made her way gracefully to the table and allowed Mek to help her into her seat.
Once everyone was seated, Prince Mek to Isi's right, Mikel at her left, and the Lawyers just beyond them; the talking began in earnest. Petre rang the small bell to call for the server and to Isi's surprise it was none other than the horribly misshapen man she had seen her first night at her house.
"See here, you're to bring the best wine in the chrystal glasses." Without regard Petre had ordered this house servant around like he was garbage. The room was filled with mixed emotions and Isi couldn't tell who was thinking what. Not wanting to sit idle Isi engaged Mek in conversation "So Prince tell me a bit about you so I may get to know you before we are to wed."
After the wine was brought in Petre excused himself and Rammen from the table so that Isi could have some private conversation with Prince Mek. Mek started telling her about his obviously pampered upbringing, "By the time I was six my father had already had me in lessons for riding of horses. My tutor was very good because by seven I could ride after the foxes."
Isi making sure he believed she was truly interested in his stories smiled at all the appropriate places and even complemented him on all his achievements. Within four hours of talking Prince Mek had told Isi everything there was about him.
Pushing away from the table Mek came around to Isi's seat and helped pull it out for her. Telling her how grateful he was for their meeting and hoped they could continue getting to know one and other over the following months until their engagement party. Isi nodded and said she was looking forward to it and he was welcome to come visit her again soon. With that he bid her goodbye and left the room.
