Description:
Sebastian is a handsome young man, and that's putting it mildly, Soft blue eyes with innocent features. So kind and inviting is his appearance he can very nearly entrance those around him, His hair is a soft dark brown that almost always looks like a boyish mess. Sebastian's smile is rarely seen but when it is, it is usually kind and almost infectious. Sebastian has a rather tough looking appearance and though he can be tough he can also be very gentle.

Personality:
Sebastian like his father is a critical thinker, he analyzes a problem and tries to find the best solution, though sometimes it runs him into trouble as that takes, time, resources, and energy he doesn't always have. Politics tend to be most important to Sebastian, keeping his country safe is the one thing that never waivers and he will do anything for his country, because of this he has learned to play the game of politics well. Taught since he was a small boy that love was a weakness and merely something that always gets in the way he has never been very open to it, and tries to avoid it at all costs, when you love someone you have a weakness.

Sebastian is also charming, and well spoken, he knows when to flash a smile and how to say the right things. One needs only to catch his gaze, shifting from everyone in a room, or the cunning, almost predatory way he singles someone out who could be a potential threat or a potential friend. Though his father is in someways like that those are characteristics he picked up from his Mother, who knows who to ally with and who not to. Sebastian has the definition of Kings bravery and can be cunning to the point where some would consider him foolish and believe it or not he is anything but a foolish man.

Sebastian has also been known to have a fatherly touch, he can be very caring, gentle, kind and sympathetic. and though he doesn't show it very often he does have a soft spot for young children and enjoys spending time with them and playing with them when he can. Sebastian can open up to anything including love, but only when he wants to.

History:
Sebastian, is the First born child to King Francis and Queen Elizabeth of France, and is the only legitimate son of his Fathers and next in line for his Fathers throne.
Sebastian has always had an easy life ever since he was a baby his mother spoiled him like no other, and being a boy his father was very fond of him as well. Though Sebastian in his younger years rarely saw his Father and because of this instinctively was closer to his Mother. When Sebastian was two his younger Sister Isabella came into the world much to his Fathers distaste as she was a girl and he had wanted another boy. Sebastian was since the time Isabella was born had been rather protective of her even as the two year old he was he understood that she was his little sister and as her big brother it was his job to protect her.

The two of them grew up very close and at one point were inseparable and were rarely seen apart but as Sebastian grew older his studies began to take hold and he was starting to be taught responsibility and found it hard to make time for Isabella which hurt him immensely, and even though his Father often got angry with him for taking time with Isabella he did it as often as he could. When Rielle came into the picture Sebastian did his best to avoid he and spend more time with Jason, and spent less time with Isabella as Rielle seemed to have connected with the young Princess.

When Sebastian was seven his half brother came into the picture making his Mother very angry as it was his Fathers way of pay back for the multiple Miscarries Elizabeth had had after Isabella was born. Sebastian never took the time with his little brother as Isaiah and his mother were housed on castle grounds but not in the castle, and when Isaiah was old enough he was sent to study else where to keep Elizabeth from turning on the King which was something she had threatened to do and had threatened to take both Children with her.

When Rielle's parents were killed and she sort of disappeared from Sebastian's life he became a lot more comfortable with his life in the castle again, without a persistent girl always wanting to spend time with him he didn't have to worry about avoiding her. He continued his studies learning how to ride, handle a sword and a bow, and of course the politics of being a King with little memory of Rielle with the odd reminder he was engaged thrown in here and there. On word that she would be returning Sebastian handled it a little better than the first time but still did what he could to push he away and avoid conflicts and interactions with her.

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.







ImageImage
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.

Analise || Isabelle || Jason



Jason
Image

Jason stood up with a nod from the king, wanting to grumble. Jason silently tried to communicate with Sebastian to not leave him, but groaned inwardly when he did. Jason stood at the throne, his hands behind his back as he waited to be dismissed. He wanted to go sleep. He always wanted to sleep, his bed was the safest place in the world to him, an easy place to go. It was even better when it was summer and he didn't have to pile on the blankets to stay warm, though he still did it for the sake of the feeling of the blankets.

He could hear the footsteps of the head of guards as he approached. "If you ever lose your temper again, I will personally take care of you," He whispered in Jason's ear. Jason just nodded his understanding, hiding his fists behind his back. He was pretty mad, and he rarely got mad, like this anyway. Jason briefly thought of what might happen to him if the man found out about him and Rielle seeing each other, and the idea that the baby in her stomach wasn't Sebastian's child. The thought just caused Jason to smile slightly, he still couldn't believe it. He was worried for her, but at the same time, amazed and rather excited at the same time. Sure he had seen and helped with babies before, but he had never had one...

Jason looked to the king, wanting to know what he planned to do for Isabelle. Would he be sent to retrieve her? He wasn't sure if he could if James had really been so deceptive after the past few years. Could he have hidden his skills in fighting? It wouldn't surprise Jason too much, he was simply just an incredible act. What had he done to hide his accent, his culture, his taste, preference, and old habits he had in his previous type of life.



Annalise
Image

Analise sat in her bed, trying to sleep but finding she couldn't. She wanted to see someone who would want to talk to her. She wanted to see Rielle, Isabelle, Jason, or Gabby. She wasn't entirely keen on seeing Sebastian since he had kind of left her without warning. She wondered what she would do about having a child. Who could she have take care of the baby? Would the baby be killed should the father be announced? The thought terrified her. She didn't want to not have the child, but she didn't want to see it killed after it was born if that would happen.

Isabelle didn't twist her head to follow his progress, but his shadow as he walked around her. "That's not how everyone is," She argued, not understanding why he was so angry. She had just met the man a few days ago. "We don't all have power or a say in things," She muttered under her breath. She was a figurehead, her brother and father? They weren't. They did things. Perhaps if she wasn't seen as a child and nothing more than an incompetent princess, she would be of much more help.

She was always in the Paris market when she could be, all the children knew her, though not as her. They only knew that the blonde girl was rather wealthy, or had quick fingers. She had taught them how to write their name when they were interested, a lot of children not knowing how to even write the most simple words. She loved teaching them though would have to flee them when she caught sight of guards as they would recognize her since they were sent out to retrieve her from town.

Isabelle saw a smile come across the man's face and found herself worried about what he would ask. When he said Rielle's name, Isabelle frowned. "What of her?" She asked as she studied the man. Isabelle met the man's eyes as she repeated what she had said since the men had entered. "I don't know anything useful," She stated in an even, level voice. She swore she would not reveal anything that would hurt Rielle or her brother, even if she was still mad at him.



Isabelle
Image

It wasn't a huge secret Isabelle and Sebastian were not in love with each other, at least in the castle, but there was a lot more to their lives. She had heard through the walls and from watching her friends about their relationships for the most part. Any hidden relationship was not hidden in Isabelle's mind. She knew of Analise and Sebastian, and worse yet, Jason and Rielle. She didn't know if the information could hurt the queen, but she certainly didn't want to risk it. What if they could drive a deeper wedge in? They could even claim to know Jason was forcing her to be in a relationship with her, which he would never do, but how would Isabelle's father know that since Jason was often looked at as an afterthought when Isabelle thought about it.

Isabelle stopped pulling against the men holding her. She waited, making eye contact with the man speaking. "Just because you're called a royal doesn't mean anything at all. It just means you're at least a figurehead and do nothing more than serve as an image," Isabelle stated, choosing then to move. She stomped her foot on one of the holder's feet. He called out, letting go. Isabelle turned to knee the other man where James had once showed her, right below the ribs.

She took off, trying to run around the man who had been speaking. She didn't think she would get too far, but she could at least try to find James. She didn't think he would do much for her, but he did seem to at least not want her to be killed or something. Maybe James would help her keep the other men away. She emerged from the tent, looking around and trying to orient herself. She saw fires placed in front of groups of tents but didn't see James anywhere, not aware he was at least two groups away. She froze for a moment, looking around as she felt like all the men outside looked at her. She would have thought it comical if she wasn't being caught. She saw them stand and moved to take off again, not knowing how she could get away from the closing circle of soldiers.

She heard one soldier snicker, then say something quietly to someone else. Isabelle didn't know who it was though the fellow had directed it at the man who had been interrogating Isabelle. "The prince is out and will be for a few more hours, we gave him you know what. He'll need to learn how to drink if he hopes of not appearing normal and being treated normal in life," The fellow stated causing Isabelle to look at him with confusion. Was one of the English princes there? Which one of the three? She took off, trying to run around the man who had been speaking. She didn't think she would get too far, but she could at least try to find James. She didn't think he would do much for her, but he did seem to at least not want her to be killed or something. "James," Isabelle shouted, looking at the circle around her, hoping he might come to help her.

The King groaned in his seat, he glanced at Jason once trying to figure if he had another task for the boy, he couldn't think of one right on the spot, but he didn't dismiss Jason, just incase, though he signalled for the head of the guard to come over. "I want a letter written to the English King, inquiring about Isabelle." He never referred to Isabelle as his daughter, maybe when she was young, three or four he did. "It isn't to be demanding, Make sure the words are chosen carefully, and make a statement saying we already know she is gone and has been taken by James, it will avoid time wasting by him denying it." He waved his hand in a dismissive manner, before looking at Jason again. "You are free to go."




ImageImage
Rielle





Rielle sat up hearing a knock at her door, she also heard one of the guards in her room pull his sword, she just gestured with her hand for him to put it away, if the person was dangerous, the guards outside would have done something. "Come in." Rielle looked surprised when Elizabeth walked into her room, the Queen rarely came near here unless she had to. "I wasn't expecting you." Rielle said softly in a non offensive way. "No one ever does my dear." Elizabeth replied with a small smile. "Now." She said signalling for another person to come in, Rielle held her breath seeing the wedding dress. "We don't have much time, as my Husband doesn't think things through, we need to get the final fittings for your dress." Rielle nodded slightly glancing over her shoulder at Gabriella who just shrugged and gave her a sympathetic smile. "Gabby, can you please go and spend time with Annalise? I want her to have someone for company." Rielle asked giving Gabriella her own escape since she knew her friend hated sitting and watching dress fitting. Gabriella nodded standing up heading for the door. "Go with her." Rielle said to the two guards standing just inside the door and they nodded following Gabriella out.

Rielle stood letting the seamstress pull the dress tight, fixing things here and there, though Elizabeth was awfully quiet making Rielle uneasy. It seemed like forever before she spoke. "Your being very cautious." Rielle assumed that she was inferring to the guards, Rielle usually had her men doing other things not guarding, but Jason had told her to, so she did. "I'm not taking any chances." Elizabeth nodded slightly looking Rielle in the eyes. "Francis thinks your not very wise, that you don't know what your doing." Elizabeth started. "He is to thick skulled. You are smart, the dangerous kind of smart, seemingly predictable but very unpredictable. Just like your mother. Francis said the same thing about her." Rielle tensed at the mention of her mother, she didn't often think of her mother at it usually felt like a stab to the heart. "Why are we talking about my mother?" Rielle asked the question softly as if she were about to cry, she felt like she was about to. "Your parents were killed because they were a threat, a large one, i'm assuming you know who to." Rielle nodded knowing she was talking about England. "Your Mother she wasn't careful, and it got her killed, your father killed, and almost you killed." Rielle looked Elizabeth right in the eye. "You speak like you know her." Elizabeth stood going over to Rielle, brushing some of Rielle's hair away, Rielle couldn't remember a time Elizabeth was this kind to her. "We were good friends. I don't want you making the same mistakes." Rielle didn't respond, she was told by people she was a lot like her mother, but she had never really taken any thought to it, just thanked the person and then pretended she hadn't heard it.




ImageImage
Gabriella





Gabriella walked into the infirmary smiling when she Annalise, she walked over quickly sitting on the bed giving her friend a gentle hug, she wanted to hold Annalise tightly but didn't know if she was sore. "I am so happy you are alright." Gabriella said softly. "I was worried sick, Rielle was worried sick...Even Sebastian was worried sick, he had all of the guards running around like chickens with their heads cut off." Gabriella laughed a little, she searched the room for Jason, but he wasn't there which she found rather odd but wasn't to concerned about it, she was more concerned about cheering Annalise up, Gabriella knew she probably hated being stuck in a bed even if it was for her own good, while Rielle was insistent on dealing with everything that was going on alone, like usual. Gabriella smiled gently, they were all so stubborn, each and everyone of them.

Gabriella sat with Annalise for a while the room was lit but the candles as it had grown dark, though she still asked for the guards to bring some books for them. "We might as well do something." Gabriella smiled, she had become a custom to reading in the low light of the flickering candles as she did it on a regular basis when she couldn't sleep, a bad habit she had picked up from Rielle who had done it since she could read. She wasn't planning on leaving Annalise anytime soon, after thinking she might never see her again, she didn't really want to leave.





"What are you idiots waiting for?" The man snapped. "Go and get her, she could get away." He shoed the men off, and they began their search, Isabelle couldn't have gotten far, but it seemed she had disappeared in the darkness making it very hard for them to find her. "Don't stop searching until you find her. Look everywhere" They all said to each other, they had to find her, it wasn't optional.

Annalise || Isabelle || Jason



Jason
Image

Jason stood by the throne, wanting to tap his fingers in his waiting but restraining himself. Jason heard the king as he commanded for a letter. Jason watched the king, amazed he wasn't scared. He didn't seem to be in any rush to get his own daughter back. Jason didn't show his thoughts as the head of guards was dismissed. He walked quickly but not obviously so, towards the doors he was allowed to enter and exit without constantly bowing on the way out, hating the other form of exit since he thought it was so degrading. He wondered what the king was trying to do with him briefly but pushed the thought away, wanting to ignore it.

The king finally gave him permission to go making Jason fill with relief. "Thank you sir," He stated as he gave a bow and left. He lost his formality as he walked to the infirmary. Finding a guard and smiling at the distress he was in because the girls wanted books. He moved to Analise's chambers, going to her bookshelves and grabbing all the titles he knew Rielle loved and hoped the other girls did too. They were all very close, it was quite likely that was the answer.



Annalise
Image

Analise smiled when she saw Gabby, sitting up. "Thank you for your concern. I'm sorry they took you too," Analise stated with a small smile. Sebastian had been trying to get her back? Yet he hadn't sat with her when she was sick, or at least checked up on her. Analise wanted to believe he was trying to make their relationship work, make it more than just mistress and the prince. It was so unfortunate that she would appear that way to anyone who looked at her and knew the truth, it would be hurtful too.

When the books arrived, it was Jason bringing them. He had grabbed all of the girls' favorite books on his way upon being told they asked for them by a panicked guard who was planning on getting them books on war, not knowing what they'd like. He had a smile on his face as he set them down on Analise's bedside table, setting down her pencils and a piece of paper as well in case she found she had a feeling to draw. Jason had seen some of Analise's drawings and thought she was great at them, wanting her to pursue it so she'd be happy.



Isabelle
Image

"Hello to all, I come bearing books. Thought I should take a look at both of your wrists since they were rubbed rather raw," Jason stated, coming forward with some salve to put on their wrists. Analise let out a cool breath when she felt it ease the burning feeling and thanked Jason. Jason turned to offer some to Gabby. "Would you like some too?" He asked, offering the salve to her. It was in a metal box, a few inches large, and had a clear color to it, used to soothe burns from anything as a wildfire or rope, which was the two girls in front of him's cases.

When the men inside the tent had recovered enough to chase after Isabelle, they left the tent to find her standing in a circle no wider than ten feet, surrounded by soldiers. They smiled, nodding for their boss to come out. "Didn't get too far did she?" He asked as she moved forward to grab her. When she backed away, one of the men in the surrounding circle caught her. "James, James please," She called loudly, wanting his help even if she felt abandoned by him.

Rielle





Rielle wished she could take Jason's suggestion, but she knew the King wouldn't let her leave, that was only something she could do when she was out of his grasp, when she was Queen of France, when he was long dead. He claimed she was naive with her power, but her power was limited in French court, and he used it to his advantage, knew she wouldn't step out of line, and it was a rare event when she did, Rielle tried to avoid conflict, though sometimes managed to get herself stuck in it. She took a breath calming herself down letting Jason hold her. She stayed with him, but even with the comfort Jason's presence had brought, sleep still escaped her.

Rielle moved about the infirmary just as the sun was starting to rise, its rays coming through the few windows piercing the dark, her crying had ceased, though it looked like the events of the night had never happened, though she had a pounding head ache to remind her she had very little sleep, and the dread of the day coming was overwhelming, she was sure it would be a day of showing off how "In love" She was with Sebastian, though it was no secret she wasn't, at least not within the castle walls.

Rielle managed to leave the infirmary get to her room get ready for the day and return without anyone seeing her in the halls, by the time she got back the sun was up but the castle was still quiet, only a few courtiers greeted her as she moved back through the seemingly endless hallways, she was surprised to have been Greeted by an English courtier one she recognized, a usual at French court, though at the same time she was surprised Francis had let them stay, though she shouldn't have been, he seemed he couldn't care less if they got Isabelle back, and his feeble attempt or the start of what Rielle knew as a feeble attempt was enough to make her angry.

Rielle smiled slightly hearing someone enter the infirmary she turned thinking it was a servant with the tea she had asked for, but it was Sebastian standing with what looked like two English Diplomats, they couldn't have been here to negotiate Isabelle, they wouldn't have got to French court that quickly, she almost flinched when Sebastian came up beside her wrapping an arm around her setting his hand on her waist gently kissing her cheek, she forced a smile, looking at the diplomats. "Rielle Marie Queen of Scotland." Sebastian said introducing her. "Who also happens to be, my beautiful Fiance." He added making the two men smile but making Rielle stiffen, but she stiffened more when one of the mens eyes drifted to her two sleeping ladies.

"Its wonderful to meet you." Rielle said rather quickly getting the mans eyes to return to hers, she wanted to look back over at Jason who had been sitting behind her, but knew she couldn't. "The pleasure is all ours Your Grace." The first man said moving forward taking her hand, the english accent in his voice was thick. "We have heard so much about you." The man looked back at her ladies. "I was sorry to hear about your ladies, I trust they are recovering well." Rielle's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the man, wondering if he knew he had hit a nerve, quite a big one. "As Well as can be expected." Rielle started. "They were kidnapped, and held against their will, I don't suppose you would be recovering well if that happened to you." It was snappier then she had intended it to be and Sebastian's grip tightened on Rielle's side to the point where it hurt, a warning from Sebastian telling her to hold her tongue. "I did not mean to upset you." The man said but Rielle could tell it was not genuine, she knew for a fact he was trying to upset her, trying to get her to snap, but she didn't really snap, if she had she would have been yelling at him, but she reacted as if it were a touchy subject which it was. "We have lots of the Castle left to see." Sebastian looked at the men then at Rielle. "I will see you later." Sebastian's voice was softer when he said that more seductive, which was followed by a kiss on the neck just below her ear not on the cheek which made Rielle all the more uncomfortable, which also told her it was all an act something Sebastian was told to do, convince the English they were in love, not that it would do anything. She relaxed slightly when Sebastian had left the room, letting out a long sigh. "That was very odd of Sebastian." Gabriella said with a small smile rubbing her eyes again, Rielle just forced a smile, she didn't know Gabriella had been awake.

Sebastian groaned as his Father left his room, English Diplomats were the last things he wanted to deal with, his Mother had come a little earlier telling him it was a day of showing off his affection to Rielle, affection that wasn't there, and then his Father saying he had to deal with the English Diplomats, why did he have to? He would have thought his Father would have wanted to make sure everything went perfectly, but he did as he was told going to greet them.

They were touring the castle, and it occurred to Sebastian Rielle would be in the Infirmary, or he assumed she would be, so he took the Diplomats to do some showing of affection down there, though Rielle seemed very unhappy about the fact he was even touching her let alone the fact that he had kissed her cheek.

When Rielle snapped at the man Sebastian tightened his grip on her side, "Rielle..." he growled lowly so only she could hear him, but it didn't occur to him until after he had done it that her stomach was more sensitive and that it probably hurt. When he kissed Rielle's neck it was like the whole room tensed, Rielle tensed and held her breath, and before Sebastian turned from Rielle he seemed to look at Jason who was Behind Rielle though he didn't know why he did it, then he turned and continued with the Diplomats, leading them out of the Infirmary.

It would be a long day, of babysitting the English brats his father didn't want to deal with





The man took the knife drawing it across Isabelle's arm, it seemed instantaneous as blood started running down her arm which made him smile, so he cut her other arm as well, a little bit deeper, he hoped it would scar, hoped she would always have a reminder of what had happened to her. "So, I can keep using the knife, which I am enjoying Dearly Princess, or, you can start speaking." He looked at her a very evil look in his eye. "Are you sure you don't know anything?"

Annalise || Isabelle || Jason



Jason
Image

Jason had slept rather soundly through the night with Rielle in his arms. He was so tired from the day, he had no difficulty sleeping. He was so tired, he didn't even feel Rielle leave. When he woke up to find she wasn't there, he sat up in fear, looking around. Where had she gone? Jason stood, running to the doorway, his bare feet cold on the stones though he ignored it. He wanted to know where Rielle had gone. She couldn't have been taken could she? Was he being paranoid? He couldn't tell.

He walked out, or ran out really. He left to find Analise awake. "She left," Analise whispered because of the still sleeping Gabby. She seemed to have been awake for a while, the paper Jason had brought her had a sketch on it where it sat beside her on the table. Jason smiled at her, giving her a nod of thanks. He wondered if Analise knew of anything about the relationship. She seemed better, color had returned and she seemed alert, back to normal almost. Jason was thankful too, if she had been hurt badly, others would be hurt for her, not wanting to see her pain.

Jason didn't comment as he observed Sebastian's face on it. Jason nodded, going to sit behind his desk, ignoring the papers as he rested his head on the wood, sleeping some more in his exhaustion. When Rielle entered again, Jason didn't wake. When the English diplomats and Sebastian entered, Jason popped up, alert and reaching for a hidden compartment on his desk. Why was he reaching for every hidden knife he had? He had done it twice in the past twelve hours and he hated the paranoia he felt slowly overcoming him. It really did make his life uncomfortable and stressful.



Annalise
Image

Why was he so jumpy? It was the sleepiness... At least that's what he told himself.

Jason watched the display, relaxing as he watched to make it look less stressful to himself. Jason saw Analise out of the corner of his eye, watch the exchange for a moment before looking away, taking the drawing of Sebastian back up and began to add more details, not looking at the man. She drew his features delicately, wanting to rip the paper out though Jason didn't know this. Analise really wanted to throw the paper at Sebastian, or out the window, she wanted to forget him at the moment, seeing him seem to push her away more and more. She hated the jealous feeling she felt overcoming her but couldn't help it.

The tension in the air was not difficult to feel. Jason smiled slightly, laughing to himself at how awkward their lives could get. Jason watched, growing anxious as he saw Rielle snap slightly. He himself would have too if it had been his best friends that were kidnapped, Rielle and Sebastian probably. Jason would do anything for them, within reason, and knowing they were in danger, he would snap at anyone who made a jab at him about them.



Isabelle
Image

Jason watched the kiss between Sebastian and Rielle with his heart racing. When Sebastian glanced at Jason, Jason felt his heart skip. Did Sebastian know there was more between Rielle and Jason? Jason gave a small, fake smile that Sebastian could probably see through though that was the only thing Jason could manage.

Isabelle called out when she felt the knife on her arms, biting her lip to keep from screaming. Isabelle pulled, trying to get herself away. "You b@st@rd," Isabelle hissed between her teeth as she struggled. "I don't know anything that England can use against France or Scotland," Isabelle managed, not wanting the knife again on her skin.

She already hated it had cut her shirt. She felt one of the fellows behind her lifting the back of her shirt, resting the fabric around her neck in a bunch as he pulled out another knife and trailed it lightly down her back, threatening her more. "Rielle and Sebastian are seeing others," Isabelle let out, hating herself for it. She clamped her lips together, refusing to say who as she felt a prod in her back for more.

Rielle/Gabriella





Rielle looked at Jason, he was jumpy, but she didn't say anything just gave him her usual smile before moving to go sit with her friends, Gabriella hugged her good morning making Rielle's smile more genuine, they had always been more like sisters than friends. "Did you sleep well?" She asked softly herself still being rather weary. Rielle didn't want to lie to Gabriella but didn't want her to worry either, so she just nodded."Yes, I did." Was the only response Rielle could come up with at that time, she looked at Annalise."Are you feeling any better?" It was genuine concern, Rielle would feel better if they were all together at all times, that way the chances of anything happening to any of them would be so much lower.

Seeing the book on Gabriella's lap she smiled picking it up getting a smile from Gabriella in return, Rielle hadn't read it in such a long time, she didn't really have time to read very much anyways something she used to enjoy so much was something she just didn't have time.

Like the day before the day seemed to just drone on, slowly, painfully slowly but Rielle found it was easier to bear when she was with her friends, she glanced over at Jason and every once and a while before returning to the conversation at hand, they weren't really talking about anything in particular, just about how being in court was a tedious task, and they laughed at some of the arguments that went on."I heard one of the older Lords the other day, speaking about how the King had a large line of assassins." Rielle just shook her head laughing a little bit. "Of course he has Assassins Gabby, he wouldn't want to get his hands dirty. Gabriella just shook her head."No, he was saying that he trains children, boys mostly. That there is lots of them, all through out the castle in all different ranks. Its scary to think a man like that has something like that." Rielle just shook her head giving Gabby a reassuring smile. "Gabby, theres nothing to worry about, he is smart. He wouldn't be able to guarantee that one of those people wouldn't give it away, and thats a risk he wouldn't take." Gabby just shrugged but seemed more skeptical than Rielle, maybe because everyone was careless at some point and a man with a need for power like the King had would do something like that."Its just a rumor." Rielle reassured again, she didn't want them worrying about something like that, and didn't want to even consider it either, if it was true, that meant he could kill anyone he wanted at anytime and not get caught. The person would just disappear.





The man raised his eyebrows at what Isabelle had said, that Rielle and Sebastian were seeing others, he didn't doubt that Sebastian would be but he knew of Rielle and had seen her, she didn't seem that careless. Who would she see anyways? who would fit her standards since he assumed she had standards, she wouldn't just risk herself like that for someone who didn't matter. "Who?" He asked roughly, it could hurt the Alliance with Scotland and it could get Scotland out of the situation, it could destroy what France had been working to a strong alliance with more men, it would be the weakness they would need, a very big weakness that they could easily use, but, they wouldn't be able to prove it in any sense, no one would believe it without proof, and Rielle and Sebastian would deny it and there would be nothing more said it would be brushed under the rug, unless they found out who they were seeing.

Annalise || Isabelle || James || Jason



Jason
Image

Jason sat back in his chair, wanting to sleep now more than ever. What had Sebastian really been doing? Why wasn't the king trying to get Isabelle back? Was the world ending? Why wasn't Jason awake? All these questions caused Jason to feel his eyes loll before he caught on the last one. Had he been drugged? Or was it the paranoia? He didn't even know, or really care anymore.

Analise nodded to Rielle's question, not saying anything before folding the piece of paper in her own favorite book and setting it on the table away from Rielle and Gabby. She couldn't stand to see either seeing the drawing, it could ruin or hurt them more than Analise already felt, she didn't want anyone to go through that. Analise listened to the conversation, listening more about the assassins, always a topic of interest with their mystery and agility.



Annalise
Image

Jason heard the mention of assassins and let his eyes close, his head resting on his arms. He was so tired, yesterday must have really drained him. Jason listened, somewhat not hearing but also hearing at the same time. He recognized that they were talking about him, not specifically, but in general without knowing it. It sucked being a kings assassin, you didn't get to have anything to do without someone else telling you.

Jason remembered his first day of training. He had been beaten when he had refused to try to throw a knife at a target, a criminal who was to die in the following week. Jason remembered the day very clearly yet he didn't smile at the memory. One of his friends had died that day, killed when they hadn't been fast enough to keep up with the other boys, three, that were training to be assassins as well. One was a cook, another an everyday guard, and the third was a lord in the court who appeared to be from a country far away that didn't really exist.



Isabelle
Image

Jason wondered briefly if he would be the one to give away the kings line. He had grown rather close already and knew at least one person who shouldn't had found out, though they couldn't tell anybody since someone else had tracked him down and taken care of him much to Jason's distress. Jason sat up, rubbing his eyes, trying to clear away the tired feel he had. Jason had never helped make a person disappear but he had helped get them out of France, to England and Spain at one point to keep them from getting taken care of for good.

"An old story told... told by the king to his lords... it keeps them from... from doing anything stupid," Jason commented, his tone drowsy and slurred. He found himself standing, going to the bed beside Analise's and climbing in, not bothering to take his shoes off as he laid his head down, hoping sleep would take him soon so he wouldn't be so drowsy at the moment.



James
Image

Isabelle bit her lip as she tried to keep from saying anything more with the knife trailing down her back again. She shook her head, looking at the ground as she tried to breath through the pain. She winced as the knife finally pierced her skin, feeling it slowly trail down her back. It took about five minutes before Isabelle couldn't take anymore, resulting with her seeing spots in her vision. She heard a voice in her ear, the fellow who was closest to the leader. "You better talk princess, fingers don't grow back," He whispered. Isabelle shook and nodded ever so slightly, having a hard time getting air in.

"Jas... Jason... And Ana... Analise," Isabelle managed, her breath shaking as she revealed her friends' names, hating she had to when she felt the man grab her fingers, holding the blade to them. "Rielle with Jason, Sebastian with Rielle's, Rielle's lady Anal, Analise," Isabelle managed, struggling to get the words out, as she felt the knife dig slightly in as he asked for more. Isabelle felt the guard holding her let her go, landing on her stomach with her hands barely catching herself. She gasped, shaking and soaked in sweat and blood.

"I'll go tell the king if you'd like, sir," One young messenger offered, leaving when he was given a nod, if he was given one.

"What is going on here?" James called, his anger evident in his frame. He was at the edge of the circle, hungrily watching Isabelle on the ground as she shook. "It was declared she wouldn't be touched by anyone. My brother is going to be very angry to hear his promised was scarred by his own men," James called as he walked forward, noticing Isabelle was practically out.

"Who authorized this and why?" He asked the man who seemed to be in charge, picking Isabelle up in his arms and holding her to him as he began to walk towards his tent, standing outside it to wait for a response. He had just woken up from his closest friend's brother shaking him to hear Isabelle was being used, ran to find her, and was now shaking in his anger and fear over her being too hurt.

Rielle/Gabriella





"Did he not sleep well?" Gabriella asked in a hushed whisper not wanting to wake Jason he did look tired. Rielle looked over her shoulder at Jason a twinge of guilt coursing through her, she shouldn't have woken him up last night, she shrugged slightly."Its been a rough few days for all of us." She stood up unfolding the blanket at the bottom of the bed gently placing it over Jason looking at him for a moment before returning to her spot beside Gabriella on Annalise's bed."I hear the Elizabeth is running around trying to plan the wedding last minute." Gabriella almost wanted to laugh the thought of Elizabeth in a panic because of little time was greatly amusing to her. Rielle just nodded slightly not really wanted to talk about it, Gabriella picked up on that quickly and changed the subject to things they could do when Annalise was up and about again, saying she was hoping that would be soon.

Rielle wanted to know if the King had done anything else to see if he could get Isabelle back, but she doubted it, he didn't really seem like he wanted to do much about it, didn't seem to care which didn't really surprise her, and Rielle couldn't really do much herself about it but try and pursue the King to get Isabelle back safely, or get her back at all. Would he really leave his daughter in England at the hands of their King who was just as cruel as the French one. Daughters were expendable, always were, if Isabelle had been a boy Rielle knew the matter would be different, but she wasn't she was girl, and was useless for much anything than to marry for an alliance, Rielle's parents had left the Throne to her, but, even then people in her family disagreed, her Parents just had a different view they always had.

She listened to Gabriella speak about how her Father was persistent in her marrying a young lord, which made Rielle want to laugh, Gabriella was not one for arranged anythings and she knew Gabriella would make it very difficult for her Father to do much of anything with her love life, as soon as Gabriella left for France she acted like she was free of her family in some ways she was, but Rielle was always admired how she acted like nothing really mattered when she could, that no one could control her.

Rielle had, had that outlook when she was a child, but there was always someone telling her what to do, how to act. She never really got a say in much until she was about fourteen, then she had more control over her own life, even then people still had influence on her, had her chained. "Well, your father can't marry you to anyone unless I say it is alright." Rielle reasured her friend. "And I won't say yes, until I know you love the man." Gabriella smiled at Rielle she was thankful for Rielle, she knew of Queens who were so cruel to their ladies, but Rielle had always been anything but, she had been kind, and protective, always trying to keep them as safe and comfortable as possible.





"I did." The man said stepping up. "Your brother wanted something he could use against France, and I have got that." He looked at Isabelle. "According to your little Princess, Sebastian and Rielle are seeing others. It will not be easy to prove." He shifted very slightly, Isabelle could have even told them that just to get them to stop. He knew there was really know chance of them proving it either, People listen to their Monarch, not other Monarchs, and with no proof they really couldn't do anything about it, he knew James would know that fact as well, and therefore the information was rather invalid, but he thought he would try. In all honesty though, what he wanted to see was the young Prince Angry, and he sure was that.

Annalise || Isabelle || James |



Annalise
Image

Analise smiled over at Jason, seeing his exhaustion and finding it rather amusing even if it did make him so out of it. She listened to the conversations, not mentioning much as she thought about recent events and news. She was pregnant. She was! How did Sebastian know? Jason must know. Did he tell Rielle? Was she just hiding her knowledge? Analise didn't know who to believe or who to tell her newest, unintentional secret. She knew she'd have to tell Rielle if she didn't know, and she'd rather tell her than have Jason tell her, but how could she tell her? What was she to do?

Her thoughts drifted to what would happen if it was revealed she was pregnant, with Sebastian's child. She knew it was his since she had never been with anyone else that way before. She shivered, the cold reaching her through her thin gown. She wondered if Jason would appreciate helping her care for the child, perhaps claim to be the father, or a brother of the child. He would certainly help her, wouldn't he? Analise shook her head inwardly, she was panicking so much over something that couldn't be changed anymore, Analise refused to have an abortion, but she didn't know if she could have a child in her position. How was she supposed to be a lady who waits on Rielle when she needs it? She wasn't even supposed to be with anyone romantically without Rielle's permission. She had screwed that rule up pretty badly with Sebastian, Rielle's betrothed.

"Rielle, do you think it would be possible for us to walk around for a bit? Perhaps we can visit the kitchens and sneak some sweets like we did when we were younger," Analise asked, wanting to get out of bed. She smiled in the mischievious way children did when they were planning to steal sweets out from under the nose of the cook. The cook would always give them to the children, making it appear as if the children had stolen them, causing them to be happy and proud with themselves. Analise pulled back the covers, allowing her legs to trail over the side of the bed, quickly pulling the thing gown down to cover her upper legs, the cold of the castle causing her to have goosebumps.



Isabelle
Image

James breathed deeply, his anger evident in everything from his face to his posture. He held Isabelle to him tightly, like she was a toddler who was sleeping. She was smaller than him so it wasn't all that difficult though he was sure it was an odd sight. He saw his best friend's brother standing to the side, studying Isabelle's back with concern. He knew as well as James did they would have to go see James's best friend as soon as they reached the castle and got away from the king, getting Isabelle to the physician the English had. She'd be alright, at least, that was what James was telling himself. He stared at the man in front of him. He had known perfectly well his brother had wanted to get information out of Isabelle, but James had sworn he wouldn't let him. He still felt dizzy from the drinks, not realizing he was still under the impression of the sleeping drug.

James listened, widening his eyes as if the news was new. He looked down at Isabelle, her head resting right under his chin in the crook of his neck. She had told them. He knew it was probably not something she had wanted to do and had made it a last resort, not wanting to feel anymore. She was strong, head strong and very independent, but she was never taught to withstand pain. He hated he hadn't been there to help her, to keep any blood of hers from being spilt. "She needs a physician. Therefore, we ride the rest of the way to London tomorrow without stopping. Am I clear?" James demands, practically shouting the final command before turning around and going into his tent and setting Isabelle down.



James
Image

He gently bandaged Isabelle's back and arm. He then took one of his two travel shirts, slipping it over her head and setting her down on her stomach to sleep. He let her have his sleeping mat, sitting beside her, refusing to sleep when she could be taken again. James heard someone enter and looked up to see his best friend's brother, giving a small smile. "She'll be alright, I promise. West will fix her up right away," Lucas stated simply, as if it was a common thing. James looked at Isabelle, noticing her cheek was bruising. Even if his older brother had ordered this, he wouldn't be happy her face had been marked. He was odd that way. James knew exactly what was going on. He wouldn't be able to help giving Isabelle to his brother, but could help protect her and keep her from being okay.

The next day and late into the night, the small army rode hard. James held Isabelle the entire time, her slipping in and out of sleep, just resting against James when she was awake. When they reached London, James led the way, a cloak covering Isabelle and her blonde hair from the slight drizzle that had begun. James rode carefully, guards around him as they moved. James saw the palace and rode for it, picking up the pace. When they arrived, James held Isabelle, not passing her on to the guards who offered assistance. He slid off, taking her in his arms before moving inside, shielding her from the rain. Inside, he looked to the nearest servant. "Inform my father I am back with the princess and she is being treated in the infirmary," James stated as he moved upstairs to go to just that place.

Upon arriving, he set Isabelle down on a bed that was nice and clean. He saw Lucas's brother, his best friend, William emerge, coming over to look at the princess in surprise. The two friends reunited after years apart, then took to helping the princess, not even hearing the doors open and slam close.

Rielle/Gabriella





Rielle looked at Annalise she was hesitant about letting her out without Jason saying it was alright, that she was okay, but she could also see that the discomfort was clear. "Of course we can." Rielle smiled, she helped Annalise out of bed. Gabriella seemed to cheer up more as well laughing as they walked through the halls, they had all been to cooped up for to long, they needed to forget, just for a little while. "We aren't as small, how are we supposed to sneak treats away from the kitchen?" Gabriella asked peeking around the corner into the kitchen. "It Almost lunch, all of the servants will leave." Rielle started. "We just need to wait."

Rielle gestured for them to follow, she smiled lightly as they snuck into the kitchen each taking a few sweets and leaving to go sit in the kitchen. "See? Easy." Rielle laughed slightly taking a bite from the little cake she had. She spotted the English Diplomats, and sighed slightly, they were walking by themselves, which she found strange, would Francis really trust the English that much? Rielle didn't trust them at all. She glanced at Annalise. "Better, now that your out of the infirmary?" She asked searching Annalise's face for any signs of discomfort or any signs that she wasn't doing well.




ImageImage
Sebastian














Sebastian pulled the bow string back looking at the target before releasing just missing center, He sighed, he wondered if he should have been with Rielle, keeping their little sherade going, trying to convice England their union was strong, what was the point in lying about it? England would do what they wanted to, whether they believed France had Scotland behind them or not, "Sebby." Sebastian turned around hearing the familiar voice he found himself staring at his half brother. "Isaiah...What are you doing back here?" The younger boy shrugged slightly. "Mother wanted me back, thinking I was in some sort of danger, besides, Boarding school is boring." Sebastian out the bow down, he didn't mind his little brother, other than the fact Isaiah's mother hated him, but she couldn't touch him not as long as Elizabeth was still alive. "You think everything is boring." Isaiah just laughed following after Seabstian when they started walking, hitting his arm when Sebastian tousled his hair. "Sebastian!" He yelled running from him, But Sebastian just laughed chasing after the boy.





"You got what you wanted, how are you going to prove it?" The man turned facing a boy no older than 16 he sighed shifting. "I'm not going to prove it." He replied. "You can not prove something like that against a royal let alone two royals." He sighed. "Rumours will probably start if England decides to try and use it." The boy nodded slightly. "and the Princess?" The man laughed slightly. "James will do something wrong at some point, he will mess up." The man looked at the boy. "In honesty, I will be surprised if she gets home alive,"

Annalise || James



Annalise
Image

Analise gave Rielle a smile as they carried out their childish, yet rewarding act. She wore a small robe a servant had brought her the day before, allowing her to not be scared about being in so little clothing. "I feel much better, thank you. Has there been any word about Isabelle?" Analise asked upon seeing the English diplomats and being reminded of Isabelle's problems. It was so unfortunate that she was in danger while they were in a different country, unable to do anything about it.

She felt much better, really. Having the fresh air available, it was wonderful. Her thoughts briefly flitted back to the infirmary. It wasn't so bad with Jason in there to keep her company, yet he was asleep now, so who would she talk to if she was back there? She had Rielle and Gabby thankfully, a real relief since she was still so uncertain about wanting to see Sebastian... Ever again.

Isabelle didn't stir as William took care of Isabelle better than James could have. James helped, doing what he was told to help his friend in order to keep Isabelle well. "I heard a certain brother was back from a long trip to France," James's youngest older brother said with a smile as he walked over to James. James welcomed the hug, knowing Isabelle was already in the best condition she could be in after the night before. "It's been too long and look what you were able to pick up," He said with joy as he motioned to Isabelle. James hated that she was just a surprise, but went with the act, nodding proudly at the girl he cared so much for.



James
Image

"Not an easy one. Lucian will be excited," James stated, clapping his smiling brother on the shoulder as he referred to their eldest brother. The two looked nothing alike yet were so similar too. Oliver smiled, returning the gesture as he turned to face his brother seriously. "I was told you were back. Father didn't want to come here quite yet, he thought she would be conscious and it would cause her to be scared, but that seems out of the question. Come on, we better hurry so he doesn't get mad," Oliver stated causing James to nod in agreement. The two were loved by their father, but nothing could protect them from his wrath if he grew mad at him. They jogged to the throne room. Even though it was late in the night, they entered.

James caught sight of his adoptive eldest brother Lucian, his father, and his mother sitting in their various thrones. Oliver stayed by James as the two approached the thrones, their own two seats currently unoccupied. James and Oliver both knelt in front of their father for a moment before standing and giving nods, in James's case begrudgingly, to their brother and a smile to their mother. "I have the French Princess in the infirmary. It was ordered she was tortured for information without my consent and the order was carried out by Lucian's men," James stated, his disapproval obvious in his voice. He wondered what side his father would take, it usually depended in his mood since he seemed to like certain sons better on certain days to their misfortune.

Rielle/Gabriella





Rielle shifted slightly shaking her head at Annalise. "The King doesn't seem all to concerned about her." Rielle sighed. "Show's what kind of Father he is." Gabriella seemed to just look away, the situation seemed touchy for everyone, if Isabelle had been a boy, the King would have been up in arms, but she wasn't a boy, she was a girl, and girl were only good for one thing, being married off and having children. While Girls were seen as an item to play with and use at ones will Boy's were virtually untouchable in anyway. "They will get her back. England can't do much anyways." Gabriella looked at Rielle. "They are basically asking for a war." Rielle nodded slightly, that they were, then the rest of the world would chose sides, alliances would finally be used and loyalties tested, though she highly doubted that Francis would go to war with England, if it came to it he would probably just tell the English King to keep Isabelle and do what he pleased with her, if it came to that Rielle felt she would step in, as soon as she was married to Sebastian, her power went up in France, and so did her opinion. "I'm sure it won't come to that."

"Your Grace." A messenger came bowing to Rielle. "The Duke of Sutherland." Rielle looked at the messenger when he spoke her Cousin's title. "Here?" The messenger nodded slightly. "Yes your Grace, Lord Colten is here with Lady Jaelin and their Daughter for your Union to Prince Sebastian." Rielle stood up, Gabriella helped Annalise up, she followed the Messenger to where her cousin was a giant smile Appearing on Rielle's face when she saw him, she walked quickly wrapping her arms around his neck. "Colten, I wasn't expecting you." Colten just seemed to smile stepping back from Rielle taking her hands. "Well, I heard a certain little cousin of mine was getting married earlier than planned." Rielle held her smile though she wanted to frown. "Should I prepare for any other unexpected visitors?" Colten chuckled. "Uncle should be returning." Seeing Rielle's smile fade he added. "He will only be here for a few days, I believe he is bringing his Daughter. My brother will also be expected along with his lovely wife, Along with my sister." Rielle nodded slightly. "And your Mother?" Rielle was going to ask about his Father but remembered he had died when she was ten, she hadn't been aloud to leave the convent to go to the funeral. "Mother isn't well, she won't be able to make the journey, and everyone is already on their way, Arriving in early morning tomorrow. She wishes you her best." Colten looked over at Gabriella and Annalise. "I heard what happened to your ladies, are you two alright?" Colten had known Gabriella since she was a girl playing with Rielle and had known Annalise for as long as she had been Rielle's lady, it had caused quite the uproar in the family that they had been taken."Better." Was all that Gabriella could muster to say, and she was better, so was Annalise, at least she looked better.

Rielle moved to greet Colten's wife who was holding a baby that couldn't be more than three months old. "Is this your Daughter?" Rielle asked looking over her shoulder at Colten who nodded slightly coming over. "Yes. Her name is Sarah." Rielle smiled at the sleeping girl moving the blanket slightly from her face. "May I hold her?" She looked at Jaelin who nodded. "Of course your Grace." She replied slipping Sarah carefully into Rielle's arms. "Please, call me Rielle. You are family, after all." Rielle smiled down at Sarah thinking about how in a few months she would be holding her own little baby, something that seemed to lift the weight of current events off of her heart.

Sebastian





Sebastian walked through the Halls Isaiah trailing behind him as he went to great Rielle's Cousin, he came up seeing Rielle holding a small bundle and recalled that her Cousin had recently had a child, a Daughter. "I heard your Cousin had Arrived." Sebastian smiled coming up beside Rielle putting his hand around her resting his hand on her waist, feeling her tense at his touch but pretended that he didn't. "I don't believe we have ever been acquainted." Sebastian extended his hand to Colten who took it. "Colten, Duke of Sutherland." Sebastian smiled slightly letting go of Colten's hand looking back at Rielle who was fixated on the small child in her arms which brought a more genuine smile to his face.

Isaiah groaned in boredom peeking out from behind Sebastian at Colten and Jaelin, then looking at Rielle, he had never actually met Rielle, maybe once when he was a baby and didn't remember, but he had heard more than enough about her from Sebastian, who seemed hot and cold about her, sometimes saying she was pretty and knew what she was doing and other times saying that he couldn't stand her. One thing was for sure, she was pretty, along with her two Ladies who stood slightly behind her. He looked at the Blonde one, Gabriella, he thought her name was but then shook his head. The Dark haired one who looked more like Rielle was Gabriella which meant the blonde one had to be Annalise. He looked back over at the Duke and his wife, they both looked tired. "I trust you have rooms?" Sebastian asked in a friendly tone which caused Isaiah to roll his eyes. "Yes, we do, we better go get settled." Rielle stepped forward giving Sarah back to Jaelin, smiling when Colten gently kissed her cheek in a farewell before leading his wife down the hall way. Sebastian looked at Rielle who pulled away from him as soon as her Cousin had disappeared out of sight. Sebastian just sighed. "I will see you later." Rielle nodded watching him and Isaiah travel down in the opposite direction of Colten before she turned back to face her Annalise and Gabriella.
