Keres frowned. He had forgotten her name? Oh well, it wasn't like he was one to bother with memorizing other people's names anyways. But the werepire prince stood frozen as the human made eye contact. No one ever ever made eye contact with him, so the young man just stood there, at a loss for what to do or how to respond as the human -Fleur- ranted and rambled on her own stumbly way. Was it just her or did all humans trip over their words like that? And what was with her tone of voice? Nobody besides Keres' mother had even spoken to him that way, and even then only when he was a small child. Was the human making fun of him? Did she think him immature, inferior? That must be the answer. Keres' dispassionate eyes narrowed into a glare. "You will do as I command, human. But if you must know, my mother is indeed forcing me into an arranged marriage. However, if I present her with someone I already care about, she will call it off. So, you will need to pretend to be my lover for an unknown amount of time." Keres turned around, and continued to walk forward. "Of course, I will try to make it as short as possible."

Sparing Fleur a glance, he resumed speaking. "We are going to meet the queen now. I need her to approve of you, so don't mess thing up too badly. I will do the talking, all you have to do is agree to everything I say. Your manners need to be worthy of a princess." Keres decided to fill the human in a little bit on what was happening, in hopes that she would use the information to not behave like a fool in front of his family. "My mother is the matriarch of Lune, while my father supports her from the side. Luckily the werepire blood overides all other lineage, or we would only have a decent ruler every other generation."

Keres stopped in front of a large oaken door. "Are you ready?"
