The moment Ramposa III emerged from the room, and the door briefly clicked closed behind him, his daughter was standing right before him with her heavenly smile on her adorable face.
Long Blonde hair, a silver circlet with an ember colored jewel, big blue eyes and a petite build. According to the King, she looked just like her mother when she was much younger.
"Father," her soft regel voice filled her father's ears and he looked to his daughter as his companion stood beside him. "I have some ideas I'd like to..."
"My Daughter," Ramposa the Third looked over her for a moment as he leaned on his cane. "I have somethings I must discuss with you in confidence."
She blinked several times when her father had cut her off. Though it wasn't abnormal for him to do so, he hardly ever actually went out of his way to get her input on something. It was only when she was trying to contribute did he actually look to hear from her unless it was a family related matter. She was becoming curious now of what he was going to talk to her about.
"Walk with me..." He said as he gestured for her to follow, keeping one hand on his cane as he began to move from the meeting chamber.
As they began to walk from the door, the six great nobles began to readily leave.
Gazef walked beside the two, his eyes vigilantly looking over their surroundings. Soon enough the Princesses own bodyguard, Climb, a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes appeared.
He felt sorry for the young man, as he himself was bullied even more by the nobles for being not only of common birth, but also being poor. He was pretty much the pet of the Princess, though he wasn't at all sure what their relationship was. At least in the eyes of the Third Princess.
"There is a Dragon that has been living beneath the Tob Forest, and seems to have wordlessly laid claim to Carne Village near E-Rantel." The King began to describe the situation that they have been given. He wanted her to understand, she was going to have a hand in what was to happen next. A Dragon on their side was a must, and she was the only one he believed to be politically adequate.
Hearing of a Dragon from the King, her father, her eyes were a bit wider than before. She gripped the sides of her long collared blue dress. "What's his name?"
A dragon would not only be a good tool for the King, the Kingdom, or even a military force. It would be a good tool for Princess Renner as well.
Her older brother, the Crown Prince Barbro was looking to sell her off to one of his supporters as a bride. She didn't want this to happen and so, if she could get a Dragon in her good graces, she could potentially use it to protect herself from being used as a political tool.
"Jack Graham..."
Hearing the name utter from her father's lips, her widened eyes immediately drooped. Once impressed, but that name sounded more human than that of a Dragon. "Are you sure that's not an alias?"
The King chuckled at his daughter as she spoke. "The Marquis thought the same thing, my Daughter." He shook his head a little and sighed, "It's probably the name he uses when interacting with us humans. Judging by Gazef's description of him, he's a cryptic fellow."
"Or he was just pulling my leg..." Gazef didn't sound to enthused about the idea of Jack giving him a false name. Not that it was false, an alias could just mean an alternate identity.
Her eyes wandered up and down her father as he was limping along on that cane of his. She slowly turned her head to look out the massive open windows of the Royal Palace with a light sigh.
Her bodyguard immediately took notice. "Are you alright, Princess Renner?"
Her head shifted towards Climb and a smile appeared across her face, accompanied by light red tinge on her cheeks. "Yes," she said cutely, "I am fine."
