The gates opened and Estelle's group moved through them. The princess dismounted her horse just as another grouped arrived. Estelle turned to look at them and immediately knew which kingdom they were from. There was no hiding the Kitsune's physical traits. The golden figure in the front was no doubt a princess. Estelle would have known that regardless of what she was wearing. It all had to do with bearing. Royals had a certain 'feel' about them that they could wear rags and still look like royalty. Estelle didn't greet them for she was just focused on introducing herself to the prince. Her company followed suit. Most of the company stayed with the horses while Estelle, Ivory, and two more guards went inside. While they did come on peaceful terms, Estelle wasn't naive enough to believe they were totally safe. So as she walked, she had one hand on the hilt of her sword that she carrief on her side. Her gown wouldn't be a hinderance either for it had a few slits in it, each coming to the knew. Still, the gown was elegant enough and would do for this first meeting. She had long sleeves, each which concealed a dagger that was strapped to her arms. The gown showed off her pale shoulders, which looked like porcelain. It fact, Estelle's complexion could be compared to ivory. Half of her plaitinum blonde hair was pulled back into an intricate bun that looked like a Celtic knot. The rest hanged down like rain. The only color in her face was her piercing blue eyes, which looked like they were made of glass. She were elegant boots with her gown. She never wore slippers or anything of the kind.

When they reached the throne room, Estelle was presented to the prince.

"Presenting her highness, Princess Estelle Wynter Loreigh Silvana of the Yuki Onna Kingdom."

After her name was said, Estelle curtseyed with an elegance that would make any noble jealous. Looking up, it took all of Estelle's control not gap. Before her was the most striking man she had ever seen. She could feel her back straighten even more and her heart pound as if it never beaten. Despite her inner turmoil, her face still looked serene. Estelle even managed to soften her face slightly and grinned, which made her look her age and more approachable.

"Your highness, thank you for inviting me." she said politely, relieved that her voice still sounded strong.
