Smiling, Mrazivý looked over her shoulders towards the person who had just announced himself, and said, “Jas you are finally here. Co over and join us, we were just talking about the match we just had.”
Walking up to them Mrazivý’s older brother Jas nodded his head towards Quillon and Lyra and introduced himself.
“It is nice to et so more friends of Mrazivý. My na is Jas Borealia first prince of the kingdom. I look forward to getting to know all of you better.”
Hearing this, Quillon introduced himself normally as well, and held out his hand waiting for Jas to shake it.
However, before Jas could return his handshake Lyra stood up and bowed saying, “Forgive for not greeting you properly upon your arrival. My na is Duchess Jadzia Augustyn of Tralenstein. It is an honor to et the first prince of Borealia. My people are in dept to the invaluable help your kingdom has provided for us. Please let know if there is anything you wish of .”
After Lyra’s sudden formal shift, Jas began scratching the back of his head, not sure what to do..
He had not co here in any capacity as a prince of Borealia just as a brother and friend of Mrazivý.
“Lyra there is no need to be stiff or formal. Jas is going to be accompanying us around on his ti off, so it will start to get stuffy if you act that this the whole ti.” Marcus said, trying to get Lyra to calm down.
Yet as he said this, she just shook her head, and said, “That is impossible. This is the crown prince of Borealia, and it would look badly on my people who owe so much to this kingdom if I acted too familiar with soone of his station.”
Getting up and putting her hand on Lyra’s shoulder, Mrazivý said, “Seriously it is fine to just relax. I already told you that my brother Jas would be accompanying us, and it did not seem to be much of a problem for you at that ti. Anyway, I am a princess, but you had no problem treating as a friend?”
“Yes, but this is different. His Highness Jas here is your kingdom’s first prince and will be the future king. As a high ranking noble in Tralenstein there is no way I can act so familiar and friendly towards him. It will not be long until our two nations have rged, and he will be my ruler as well.” Lyra said, not able to accept being informal around Jas.
Except she was actually working under a false assumption not knowing about the situation around the Borealia royal family.
“Wait so the only reason that you refuse to act normally is because Jas is the going to be the future king?” Mrazivý said to Lyra.
Nodding her head, Lyra was ready to keep this stance in order to uphold her duty as a duchess and to her people.
But when Mrazivý began laughing she looked at her in confusion, wondering why she suddenly attitude.
“Well in that case you have no need to worry. Jas is never going to be the king and has already ceded his right to the throne.”
Mrazivý then went to explain Jas’ situation, and Lyra’s mouth went wide in realization and her face beca red from embarrassnt.
“I see so you are not going to be the next ruler of this kingdom and you engage in almost no politics. I suppose in that case it should not cause any trouble.” Lyra said. still a bit hesitant about the situation.
She had figured that Mrazivý’s brother Jas was going to be sowhere around the tenth prince like how Mrazivý was the thirteenth princess.
In that situation her status as a duchess would have been higher, and it was unlikely they would ever have many political interactions.
“Okay now that we have settled that, it is ti that we consolidate our plans for what we are going to be doing during this sumr.” Mrazivý said. once everything had settled down.
The seven of them quickly began going over their schedules and everyone was free for the next few weeks except Marcus and Lilia.
“I actually have soone dropping by soti soon who might be a good master for Lilia. Her na is Ardea, and she said she was the grand witch of the peaks.” Marcus said, recalling that he had asked her to stop by around the beginning of sumr.
Of course, he had already told Lilia about this to make sure that she would be alright with learning how to fight from soone else, and she had given her consent.
She still had quite the drive to get stronger, rembering the horrible things that happened to her almost two years ago now.
Never again did she want to be powerless, so when Marcus told her about an opportunity to train with soone that was of the highest level of skill and power she wholeheartedly agreed.
“Okay so the two of you are going to wait around your estate until she shows up, and at the sa ti do most of the preparations for our trip.” Jas said, confirming Marcus and Lilia’s plans.
Nodding their heads, they confird this, and Mrazivý said, “I suppose that ans it will just be the five of us. Actually, this might be good so that we can all get to know each other better since Quillon and Lyra have just t my brother.
After they had finished up making their plans in detail, their group went their separate ways as Marcus and Lilia headed back to their ho to wait for the appearance of Ardea.
“All right we will see you later. Just make sure to give us a heads up once you are done with this appointnt of yours.” Mrazivý said to Marcus as he and Lilia boarded their carriage to return ho.
“I will, don’t worry. Hopefully Ardea will co by soon so that we can all go explore the crystal caverns together. Until then, see all or you all later.”
