[ A l i s t a i r ]
As the carriage rattled down the road to the Ladon kingdom, Alistair was seriously questioning just who his father had hired to steer the horses pulling the vehicle. He had a death-grip on one of the inside handles, muttering curses aimed at both his father and the carriage driver. Surely the road wasnโt this bad? He clenched his jaw when they hit a particularly rough bump, and spat out another curse when the top of his head almost hit the roof. It wasnโt a long ride to Ladon โ only a few hours โ but already he was deeply regretting agreeing to his fatherโs demands. It wasnโt like he could just outright refuse to attend the ball, especially if it was under direct orders from the king, but he certainly could have put up more of a fight. He was good at annoying his father, after all.
Finally he felt the carriage rattle to a stop and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was probably looking quite green and disgruntled as he stepped out of the carriage. He ran a hand through his tawny hair and peered about, amber eyes scanning the architecture. The palace was extravagant, certainly; when one of the castleโs servants strode forward to greet him Alistair turned his head and plastered a smile on his face.
โThe kingdom of Ladon welcomes you, your majesty,โ the servant said, dipping into a low curtsey.
โThank you,โ Alistair responded, keeping his voice warm and friendly. Having experienced the childhood heโd had, he understood what it was like to live in the shadow of such luxury, and he understood the life the servants and lower-class inhabitants of the castle led. With that being said, he was never rude to anyone, regardless of their class or status. In all honesty, he couldnโt care less about the titles people had. People were people and deserved to be treated as such, regardless of whether or not that had a fancy title.
โPlease follow me to you rooms, your majesty.โ Alistair nodded, and followed after the servant.
Some time later, Alistair found himself properly primped and prepared for the night. Considering it was the princess of Ladonโs birthday, the ball that would be held would be quite the affair. After all, Alistair had it under good authority that the king of Ladon was trying to find his daughter a husband. Over the course of the past few hours, Alistair had been washed and dried; his tawny-brown hair had been expertly styled so that it had just the right amount of chaos in it. His beard had been neatly trimmed so that it rested just above his skin; his nails had been trimmed and polished. At the end of it, he was surprised he still had some skin left. The servants had been that thorough.
Once he was properly clean, Alistair had been dressed in his finest outfit. He wore a doublet made of a dark, elegant silk, with golden trim around the seams; around the buttons at the chest and stomach were golden decorations. Golden pauldrons emblazoned with Velvesโ sigil sat proudly on his shoulders. Around his waist was a bright silver fabric that seemed to sparkle in the light, and matched the sash of the same fabric that ran diagonal across his body from left to right. He wore dark brown, almost black, trousers, and a pair of boots that had been intricately crafted by Velvesโ master leatherwork. The tops of the books reached just above his knees, and were also emblazoned with silver buckling and Velvesโ sigil. The collar of the doublet nearly reached his chin; when the tailor wasnโt looking, Alistair loosened it just a bit, exhaling softly. Once he got the okay, Alistair turned and grasped the sword that was laying on his bed. It was decorative, of course, but heโd secretly sharpened the blade โ just in case. The hilt of the sword was bright gold, and had been crafted to imitate a dragonโs head, its jaws open to clasp a fine jewel between them. The sheath of the sword was also decorated with dragon imagery โ in fact, it had been a blade that the Velves kingdom had used to help exterminate the dragons. It had been passed through the Velvesโ royal family over the years, and it now belonged to Alistair โ much to his fatherโs frustration, he was sure. The thought brought a smile to his face.
Finally, it was time to face the crowd. He exited his room and followed his guide down to the ballroom. Like the rest of the royals, Alistairโs arrival was announced loudly to the gathered crowd. He winced internally, still not quite used to hearing his name and the word โprinceโ in the same sentence. He mingled about for a while, chatting up the various nobles he was introduced to. Like always, he was his usual, easy-going self; there was a mischievous glint to his amber eyes, and a warm, genuine smile on his face. His attention was pulled by the sound of the heraldโs voice echoing through the chamber; everyone fell silent and turned in the direction.
โNow announcing her Royal Highness, the lovely bachelorette, Princess Helen of the Kingdom Ladon.โ The princess in question stepped into view, glancing around the room to see who all was staring at her. Everyone was, of course; sheโd just been announced by the royal herald. Alistair peered at her; she was lovely, after all; in her cream-colored dress, her fiery hair was accented and brightened. It accented her figure perfectly, highlighting the more delicate features of the princess. Heleneโs hair was as bright as a burning flame, and had what appeared to be flowers and jewels woven through the braid. For a brief moment, Alistair wondered what he would look like with flowers in his hair. Fantastic, probably. Heโd have to try it one day; even if he looked ridiculous, just the look on his fatherโs face would make it all worth it.
Alistair bowed at the waist as was customary as Helene descended the steps and entered the crowd in full. He offered her a warm, friendly smile.
