Damien moved swiftly through his room a book in his hand.
"Your highness." the Advisor his Father had sent said. "Your Highness." He said again this time a little bit louder. "Prince Damien!" Damien looked up from the book and put it down on his desk. "I apologize Jacob, I'm worried about my brother, his behaviour is not always the best. I read when I worry." Damien went to the window he watched as birds flew by, he could see the swans in the pond bellow, his room faced the gardens, and he preferred it more than the view any of his other family members rooms had, his parents over looked the courtyard but had a nice view of the ocean, and his brothers room over looked the woods.
"I'm sure your brother will be on his best behaviour my prince." Jacob said with a reassuring tone but Damien didn't seem convinced, he knew his brother almost as well as he knew himself, he would not be happy about spending the day dealing with formalities, bowing, and escorting, he would find some way to get out of it.

The sound he had been dreading all morning sounded and she made his way quickly through the halls coming up beside his Nathan just in time to be announced. "Behave." Damien said sharply but Nathan didn't seem to hear him and if he did he brushed it off without even a side ways glance. Damien came up right beside his mother and kindly smiled back at her when she smiled at him. He bowed low when the Queens walked up and stood before them, he waited for his parents to greet them, usually he would great them before his brother being crown Prince, but Nathan cut him off before her could start. "Well this is lovely and all, but I have already waisted enough of my day locked up in this castle." Nathan looked at both of the young ladies. "If you would so Kindly excuse me your Majesties, but I don't have the time nor the effort for having to deal with formalities all day." Damien heard his mother snap Nathan's name sharply, she had paled considerably and is Damien didn't know any better he would of thought she would have fainted, he noticed her grip tighten considerably on his fathers arm, and his Father looked outrage which was a rare sight in deed, Damien just looked down as his brother made his escape, he could hear his Mother whisper something worriedly into his fathers ear but it was to low for him to make out what she had said.
"Mother, Father." Damien started. "I don't mind giving Queen Isabelle and Queen Sinead a tour of the castle grounds while the servants get their things to their room." He turned his attention to the Queens. "I'm sure it would be easier for both of you to settle in if you know how to get to places, there is nothing worse than getting lost. Once your things are put away I can show you to your rooms, I'm sure your journeys have been long and tiring and you would like nothing more than to rest" Damien said hoping it would rectify the situation, his parents seemed to agree, and he was relieved when the Queens nodded slightly as well, though he was sure he was going to kill his brother if his father didn't first.
