Snippet #1702486

The man was just as royal as Estelle. That much was certain to the princess, for his bow was very elegant and powerful at the same time. She was mildly surprised that he didn't wish to be address by his title. Estelle didn't even call the Queen of her kingdom mother, at least not in public. She was raised to address people of ranking formally. Still, under these circumstances, she could bend the rules a bit. Estelle wanted to stay in the Jade prince's good graces after all. Trying to keep her calm facade up was still proving to be a challenge. Why was she feeling this way? Right now she wanted to flee, but she was never a coward so she stood her ground.

"As you wish . . . .Shi-Shiba." she replied her voice cracking for a bit.

She wanted to curse herself for showing some vulnerability. He would probably think she was too weak now. It was then that Estelle wondered who else was arriving. It didn't matter who showed up, Estelle would succeed. Her kind were known for their stubborn attitudes and Estelle was no exception. Once they made up their mind, they never changed it.
