Grace was also good at choosing friends. She always knew what she was looking for in a friend and followed by those guidelines. So when she was 'it girl' she choose just popular people. But now? Now she needed a true friend. And she knew Anthony and her would get along. He seemed like a gentleman and very nice, plus he just put up with her sad side and that was a lot to say. But he only knew pregnant Grace, and normal Grace was much different. Normal Grace was a stuck up bitch. Grace knew there would come a time when the few people in the castle that didn't mind her met stuck up Grace they would hate her. But until then she let the hormones take there course.


"Your too nice," replied Grace to his comment about her not feeling pathetic, "You didn't make me sound like a whore." That was a relief. Grace never commented about the pregnancy around the castle because people give her dirty looks and talk about her. She was sure they didn't even want her at the gala. The queen hated her and thought of her as a nuisance. The only reason she was going is probably because they king vouched for to be invited and because it was mediatory to invite e guests at the castle. So Anthony's comment was refreshingly nice to hear.

"And it better be a detailed map that your making, so I will never get lost again." Grace grinned from ear to eat like a child. Then she took his offering arm so that they could walk to the match together.

On the way out Grace chattered about bit about the baby. She basically just spit out facts that didn't really matter. She didn't know the baby's gender yet, she was holding off. She could find out but she wasn't ready.


When they finally reached the courtyard Grace looked around. She all of a sudden became very aware of her soundings. Like how she forgot her shoes. Or the princess looking at her mother with almost a pitting looking on her face. Or Nyx looking around for someone. Or the king and his mistress, Dorothy, it sometimes seemed as if they would be better suited to be married then him and the queen, but the king was not one to divorce. Then out of nowhere she got a tug on the back of her dress. It was Cecily, whom Grace just adored. Since Grace has been here she has spent her fair amount of time with Cecily while talking to Dorothy who understood Grace's situation.

"How's your baby?" Cecily asked with a giant smile. "She can actually hear us talking now!" exclaimed Grace. "You can actually say hi to the baby now." Cecily got really close to Grace's stomach and whispered loudly "HI," before running off.

Grace stood straight up from the crouching position she was in to talk to the child.

Adam Loire ~

Three months has past, just three months and surprisingly Adam didn't leave. He could if he wanted to, but that wouldn't be good of him to just up and leave without giving -living here- a try. Adam didn't leave because, of a particular individual poked at his interest too much for him to even try leaving. Sitting up in his bed, he began to look around. "Seems like she left quite early." Smirking at what he said, he got up after hearing a whole lot of people moving and bumping around. Picking up his scattered clothing, he threw them in a pile in the basket, which made him remember that he had to 'dress up' for the evening.

Deciding to then take a bath before even touching a suit, he did. After he was done bathing, he put on his suit and sprayed a bit of cologne just to add a little 'spice' to it. After he finished checking himself out in the mirror, he walked out of his room. He walked to wherever the Polo field was, he wasn't a real fan of this sport but, he would have to deal with it. When he showed up at the match, he sighed quietly to himself and looked around, he didn't want to sit next to his 'family', not at all. He looked for anyone he could tolerate, anyone that didn't get on his nerves when talking to him.

After a moment or two he laid his eyes on Nyx, the girl that escaped his room without saying a Good morning, or a Hello. Staring at the woman as she didn't notice him standing there, he decided to walk towards her thinking that she'd put her attention onto him. As he shortened the distance between them, luckily there was room to sit behind her, so he did just that.

Dianna Grant ~

Awoke to nothing but, a silent room. It was kept neat and clean, she always made sure of that. Sitting up in her bed, she ran her fingers through her hair. She realized today would be a eventful one, and she had to dress her best. So she got up to a shower, and put on her dress and did her hair to match it. Looking at herself, she smiled and then walked towards the door. These past three months have went so smoothly for her, she made a couple of friends, and she only cried about 5 times each month. Other than that, in the last three months, surprisingly there was not much to worry about. Well, for her at least.

Continuing to walk out the door she went to where the Polo match would be place and noticed Anais and Katherine standing at a certain distance and she decided to join in whatever they were talking about. "Hello Anais and Katherine." She said their names as polite as can be, she really liked how wonderful they had looked in their dresses, though looks aren't anything to her. Looking over at the prince with a quick glance or two before bringing her attention back to the two woman in front of her.

Evette's eyes were mid-roll at the fact that Xavier couldn't be called Xav by anyone but the small girl in Rose's arms, and the words 'double standard' had already started to come from her lips when she caught Rose staring at someone. Her eyes followed her friend's until they caught the face of a male and a woman, standing together. He wasn't a suitor, and he appeared to be otherwise taken, so it didn't really click with her as to why her best friend would be staring at him like that. Though, it only took a moment before her attention was cast elsewhere as the King announced the polo match was about to start and that they should take their seats. Eve smiled and walked with them before taking a seat with the Princess's maidens, though she definitely didn't count as that. She just sort of got put there because of her known presence in the court.

Evette leaned back against her chair as everyone got seated and fiddled with the hem of the dress, not becuase she was nervous but because she didn't enjoy trying to talk to people around her right before something big happened. It was all to busy, and even though Eve loved busy, the crowded pushing and shoving of people as they got situated in their seats was not a type of busy she liked at all.

Evette's eyes darted down to where the king and queen sat and smiled at Cicily, who was currently bouncing in her father's lap. It really didn't matter to Evette that the little one wasn't a true princess, what with her linage, because she always seemed like a princess even though she faced ridicule daily. She was always very nice and smiling and happy and just all around sun-shine-y. Besides, she was still a half-princess, and even a half-princess is still a princess, no matter what anyone said. In Evette's eyes, she technically wasn't even a half-harke, due to her adoption, but she was given and accepted by the Harke family and that made her a full Harke, just like it made Cicily a full princess.

Anais spent a lot of the time while they were sitting whispering to Katherine, telling her who various people were that she could remember and some that Rick told her were going to be there. She actually saw one of her older AKA sisters and wriggled her fingers at the older woman. If Anais was correct, the one was of noble blood and she told Katherine of this. She discreetly pointed at one man in particular who stuffed a small cake into his mouth before washing it down with some champagne.

"Oh, and that is Lord Khal. Watch yourself around him. He tends to like to shove a lot of things into his mouth - ask his wife. To this day, their original wedding ring is still missing," she whispered and ended up laughing with the blonde, recalling hearing that. It was almost as if the older man could feel or hear someone talking about him because in two seconds flat, he was looking around before his eyes fell on them. Anais erupted into a fit of giggles. Before she could go back to pointing things out to Kat like how hot one of the polo players looked, Dianna appeared and Anais rose her eyes to the blonde as she made her way over to them.

"Hello Anais and Katherine," Dianna greeted them all polite-like and almost too former. Anais smirked.

"Girl, why so formal? It's not like we haven't been together for three months now," Anais replied, patting the seat beside her. "Loving the dress by the way. Almost thought you wouldn't make it."
