A servant ran into the lounge area where Queeny and Evander were. "Sir Argenti of Silver has arrived, young majesties."
Evander held Queeny's hand tightly as they followed the servant to the front gate. "Remember Queeny, stay close to me and avoid him as much as you can." Evander whispered to her softly, Queeny looked up at Evander and nodded nervously.
"Little brother!" A tall gentleman jumped out of his shiny silver carriage and strutted over. "This must be your fiancée~..."
He was fairly tall, taller than Evander, but a bit shorter than Ciel. His hair was a dark and dim magenta, with the edges being a vivid sandy yellow. His eyes were a piercing teal hue, which stood out from his entire appearance. This man wore a silver jacket with a navy blue button up and black tie. He had on slim black gloves and dark maroon trousers. They were tucked neatly into his silver boots. Just like Evander, he wore a hat. It looked like a hat an army general would wear, silver with a black rim, along with teal lining.
Evander stood in front of Queeny in defense. "Yes, she is indeed my fiancée. I'd like to keep it that way, thank you." Queeny peeked out from behind Evander's arm in curiosity. She was greeted with a glance and a smirk from the tall man. "Oh brother! Won't even let your dear big brother say hello to his soon to be sister-in-law." He gave Evander a hard pat on the head that flattened his beret. "Tough luck, Argenti.." So this is Argenti..?
"Say..where is Ciel? That lad knows how to treat me better than you..Oh well! I can wait!" Argenti caught sight of Evander and Queeny holding hands, Evander gripping her tightly. He pushed his little brother aside, separating the two, and getting ahold of the little mistresses hand. "And what might your name be?~"
Queeny was taken aback, she started to blush just a bit. Then he kissed her hand gently, feeling piercing glares from his brother shoot upon him. "My name is Queeny..of the Black Kingdom." "What a mysterious color..black~" Argenti looked up and locked eyes with Queeny, which caused her blush to become more visible.
Evander moved to push him away but heard a voice from behind. "Hello there Former General"
"Ah! Ciel my good man!" Argenti moved away and grinned at Evander as he moved towards Ciel. "I suppose you're here for the holidays?" Argenti shook hands with Ciel. "Yes, sir, I am! As well as the meeting that is to come on my dear brother's birthday."
Evander wiped Queeny's hand with his beret and shook off his germs before putting it back on his head. "Remember..stay away from him. What filth he is.." He whispered to her. She gave him a quiet nod.
Argenti's servants took out his luggage and headed inside to put away his things. That lead the little royals to head inside as well. "It's getting quite cold out here in the snow! Let us head inside younglings!" Argenti spoke with a confident tone.
They all sat in the lounge area where Queeny and Evander were prior.
"So, how have you all been since I've been gone?" Argenti decided to break the silence. "We have been well, the soldiers have been working hard. And..of course..Evander likes to come by everyday. But he's taken some time off from it." Ciel replied to him.
Argenti smirked. "And what about Rosie? Evander's little best friend?" Evander felt a little tense, which Queeny noticed. She placed her hand on his and he seemed to loosen up a bit. "She's a hard worker as well. Although, she's been a bit odd lately." Ciel looked into the fireplace.
Queeny was playing with her bangs as she zoned out. Evander patted her head which caused her to snap out of it and yip. Her yip earned blushing from the 3 boys she was surrounded by. Argenti observed this and cleared his throat. "Well, how about the lovely engaged royals?"
Evander looked up at Argenti with and annoyed expression. "We've been great. Until you got here.." he mumbled the last bit but Argenti heard it and smirked. "I'd like to know just a bit more about the beautiful fiancée~. How did my baby brother get so lucky?~.." Queeny looked up and blushed. Ciel glanced over with a glare.
Queeny looked down at the floor, which was where she was sitting. "Uhm..what would you like to know about me?" Evander was prepared to help Queeny with any odd questions Argenti may ask.
Putting his hand to his chin, Argenti thought about some questions. "Tell me why someone as adorable as you is engaged to a boring..to him?" Evander chimed in hastily. "I think that the lady of black would be better off not answering such a foolish question!"
Argenti nodded and stood up. "Very well then. I have something to do anyway!" With that, he walked out of the lounge room.
Ciel watched as he walked out and stood up as well. "Excuse me..I'll be taking my leave now." He walked past Queeny and gave her a sneaky pat on the head.
Evander watched as both guys left. He waited for them to be out of hearing range before turning back to Queeny. "So..wanna screw around?"
Queeny looked up at Evander. "Ah? And do what?" Evander thought about it. "We could go trash Argenti's room." He said that with confidence. "I don't even know where his room is." Queeny was a bit concerned. He smirked.
"You've returned!" He hugged him tightly as he placed his hand on his cheek. "Of course, I could never leave you, my love.."
