Sebastian
Sebastian groaned softly as Rielle left the room, she had agreed she had actually agreed. Sebastian, watched his Father and watched Jason assuming it was okay for him to leave, with a nod from his Father Jason stood up, but Sebastian wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone and wanted to get out before Jason himself was dismissed, so thats what he did.
He thought about going to see Annalise as he had promised, but he promised he would go back, he didn't say when, and he was sure she didn't want to see him anyways, didn't want to be near him so he was going to oblige. Grabbing a cloak as the sun was setting and it was bound to be cold outside Sebastian left, he needed to get out, get away even if it was for a few hours, clear his mind. Hearing his Sister had been taken by the English had caused a pit to form in his stomach, hearing that he was marrying Rielle in two days, mad him feel worse, but what made him feel the worst in the situation was his father was so concerned about defences that Rielle had to make a condition that he would start negotiating for Isabelle, Rielle had to remind him to try and rescue his own daughter, and to Sebastian that was sickening.
Rielle/Gabriella
Rielle sighed laying back onto her bed listening to Gabriella try to reassure her about multiple things, she always admired Gabriella for her optimism, but sometimes it was so out of place it just made Rielle want to scream. She put her hands on her stomach almost wanting to flinch, and take them off, she wasn't sure why, all she had ever wanted was a family. Rielle sighed propping herself up on an elbow so she could look at Gabriella, debating whether to tell her or not, but shook the thought out of her head quickly, if it came to it she needed her friends to be able to say no and not be lying. Gabriella walked over sitting down on the edge of Rielle's bed, she clutched her hands tightly to stop them from shaking."I still mean it when I say everything will be alright...You and Sebastian are going to be married, and you will rule side by side, just like you always wanted when we were little girls."
The mention of the wedding brought the sick feeling back to Rielle's stomach, when they were little Rielle relished in the idea of marrying Sebastian, a happily every after just like the stories, but thats when she thought she loved him, but she didn't. The person she really cared for she couldn't show any real affection for past friends in public, which was another things that made her feel like she wanted to be sick but she sighed instead."Yes, it seems everything is going to plan." Rielle planned with such a forced smile she was sure that if Sebastian was there he would see through it, but Gabriella seemed to let it pass, or just wasn't paying enough attention to notice. Rielle didn't want to get married, not to Sebastian, she didn't want to have any of Sebastian's children but that was all something she had to keep to herself and pretend wasn't there, she wanted to make herself so small she would disappear, but she had duties, she always had duties or something or someone keeping her tethered to the ground. Rielle wondered if it wasn't for all of the people she had to look after, if she would be selfish enough to just disappear."Two days still seems a little bit fast." Rielle stated, because it was fast, the King was in a bit of a panic, desperate.
Though Rielle herself felt backed into a corner and very helpless, she knew what she was doing, she knew what she had to do, and what she might have to do in the future, there was no reason for her to feel helpless, she wasn't not in that sense she just felt helpless. That feeling of wanting to disappear, that feeling of just wanting to scream was overwhelming her, and wanted to cry, but she just couldn't bring herself to it, because she knew if she started, she wouldn't stop, Rielle knew she wouldn't stop crying, she would probably cry until her stomach hurt, cry until she just couldn't cry anymore, so she was determined not to, she wouldn't, not now. not when other needed her to be strong.
"Your right I'm not." The man replied circling around Isabelle. "I don't know the first thing about being a Royal, I just know how to take orders and bow my head like a slave." It was clear he was angry, but was he angry with James or just every royal out there? James definitely got on his nerves but he even felt and anger towards Isabelle, for no real reason, there really was no reason, she hadn't done anything but be in the wrong place at the wrong time. "All Royals are the same, stuck up, making decisions for people because they assume they can't make their own." He stopped in front of Isabelle, who was she close to that she could have valuable information about, other than her brother, who in that court. An evil smile more like a smirk appeared on the mans face. "Rielle." He said as if her name was a sort of weapon and it could have very well been. "As far as I know you two are close enough to be sisters. You claim to know nothing valuable, and maybe that is true, but Rielle, you must know something about her." It wasn't a question, a demand, he did want something out of her, but he also wanted James to suffer, and maybe even Isabelle to suffer as well.
