~~~(POV: 2nd Princess of The Elven Kingdom, Blezikel Oryzox)~~~
~~~(Location: Attending a Party for the nobility, Greshina)~~~
~~~(Ti: 3:54 PM)~~~
Olisandra is running out of ti... She said she'd be here by 4:00 PM, and she's only got 5 minutes left. While suspicion about her absence isn't rising, I can't keep distracting people for long. Mom will notice soon, but I don't have to worry about that at the mont. She's busy entertaining guests. All nobles that support her, and it's hard to see her beco sothing like this...
Olisandra and I were following in her footsteps, but we've both seen that several things have changed... "Princess Blezikel, I was hoping to find you here." A familiar voice fills my ears, and I turn to see Gael Dezial. An elven noble the sa age as myself. He and I have known each other since we were young, and he's soone I'd consider a friend.
Not only were we great friends, but mom planned for to be married to Gael to ensure his family's support. When Slayer Zern was revealed, when The Son of Arch-Angel Micahel was announced... That all changed... Mom sees Slayer Zern as a chance at making the elven royal family's true gods... Instead of just in na...
Gael has had an affection for , and I for him... We've never tried anything more than just friends, but it's not like we can try... "Gael, it's been so long since the last ti I saw you. How have you been?" He smiles and straightens out a little. He's much taller than I am, and he's very attractive. Most of the noblen are jealous of him, but that's for his wealth.
The elven nobility is filled with beautiful people, and it's one of the staples that follow our society. One of the things that I don't know if it's good or bad... "It's nice of you to ask, but talking about boring politics isn't sothing that I'd ever bring to bear on you, Princess." He keeps formalities up when in the presence of others.
Before I can respond, another woman interrupts us. Grabbing Gael by his suit and pulling him gently. My eyes look at the girl, and I instantly recognize who she is. Urea Orvello, only daughter to the Orvello family and one of the most important nobles in The Elven Kingdom. "While I don't mind you talking to other beautiful girls, Gael. I get nervous when it's the princess herself." Typical.
While her voice is sweet and polite, Urea is one of the most cunning nobles I've ever t. She's known Gael for almost as long as I have, and since I'm no longer available, they're to be married to each other. Combining Dezial and Orvello blood and joining the noble house in an alliance. "She is an old friend, Urea." Urea smiles and rolls her eyes a little.
Pulling Gael away as she whispers into his ear. Making him laugh in the process. They're good together, but I'm a little jealous. If there were anyone I'd like to have been married to, it would be Gael... Urea is a lucky woman, and she'll be happy with him. "Don't look so down, Blezikel. You still have a chance with Slayer Zern." My mother's voice stops from looking at their retreating forms.

Gael slowly dances with on the ballroom floor to the slow music, and his eyes are looking into mine. His smile is calm, and he's steadily dancing with . "I have to be honest, seeing you talk to Princess Blezikel made jealous, and I'm sorry I pulled you away from her like that." He raises a single eyebrow and moves a little closer.
Many consider shrewd, cunning, sotis manipulative... That doesn't an I'm a terrible person... All it ans is I know how to get what I want, and while that sounds bad, there are worse things I could do but choose not to. "Hmm... Now, what am I to do with this information? So might say I need to rethink things with you." The tease in his voice is obvious.
I'm glad that he's a good spot when it cos to my more overzealous reactions. Seeing him with won of incredible beauty just makes nervous. I'm good about not being jealous, but there are tis I feel like I need to step in. "Hey... I should be getting praised. Most girls would rip you a new one for talking to so many girls." I stand by that statent too.
He smiles again and leans in, his lips touch mine, and I sink into the kiss. All my worries are washed away, and my thoughts are free from any of the fears I have. "You are an amazing fiance, Urea. I'm glad that your mine, and I'm yours." He talks sweet words as he pulls away. He brings closer and wraps in his arms. We sway to the music and enjoy each other's company.
Gael isn't soone I worry about being unfaithful, and he's not soone that I imagined myself having... The revealnt of Slayer Zern is the reason I have Gael now, and I'm happy that I'm the one that gets him. "Our wedding day is approaching... Did you ever think that you'd loved the person you're marrying?" My question isn't sothing many people give thought to.
Not in our world of nobility. Most marriages are political and forced. While this is what our marriage is, we benefit from loving each other. We've known each other since we were kids, and it's feelings that weren't hard to find. "We're lucky in that we love each other, Urea... Not many can say that in the nobility anymore..." He hugs a little tighter as he says that...

~~~(Location: Attending a party for the nobility, Greshina)~~~
~~~(Ti: 5:06 PM)~~~
This party has hardly taken my mind off what Evander has revealed to ... He's a half-blood, and I've co to question everything I've done to this point... Evander is an amazing man, and if he's capable of such things, then maybe the other half-bloods are. My current train of thought is interrupted as the doors to the hall open, and Olisandra walks in.
She's far later than anyone of the royal family should be. Usually, I'd go and chew her out for portraying sothing like that, but not with everything on my mind... "Mom, I'm going to talk to sister. See what she was up to." Blezikel stands up from our table and leaves towards her sister. I'm lucky to have such wonderful daughters...
Sotis, I feel like I don't deserve them, and I'm doing everything wrong with them... After my son was killed... "My Queen, the evening is getting late. Should I signal the staff to start bringing out the food?" Evander's voice interrupts my thoughts and my heartaches. I nod a single ti with my head, and he waves his hand. Staff co out and start preparing everything at the motion.
Changing my plan... The plans of the nobles... It's impossible now... Nothing can stop what I've set in motion... I've damned my Kingdom, and I know that I now leave nothing for my daughters to rule... "Evander, I wish there was sothing I could do..." No one hears my whisper. Not even Evander himself. It's too quiet to hear.
This isn't how a Queen acts... How a sane person acts... How a competent leader makes decisions... Am I so cowardly to change things... What is there that I can do... I don't know what I'm doing anymore...
