Roald chuckled lightly and shook his head.
"No offense taken, just speak as you would normally." He looked thoroughly intrigued, spooning in mouthfuls of soup as he waited for her to continue

Sabela stirred her soup, hoping she wasn't looking as nervous as she felt.
"Your kingdom... it seems so," she paused for the right word, "modern..."
"We don't have architecture quite like yours... but we have large, beautiful gardens instead."

This seemed to interest the Prince significantly.
"So rather than making your city look beautiful by carving and building works of human ingenuity, your people embrace the artistic beauty of Mother Nature's creations?" His eyes seemed to glitter a little, as if that were the greatest thing. "I used to climb up to the lookouts on the walls so that i could look out at the forests beyond the city. I think a little greenery inside the walls would be beautiful."

Sabela gave a small smile, but didn't pursue the conversation. She was nervous, and as nice as he was, he just wasn't Llyr. She concentrated on her soup for now, a little desperate for the night to be over. She felt so uncomfortable, despite Roald's niceness and genuine personality...

Roald's expression softened as he watched her. She had a wistful expression on her face.
He knew she didn't want to be here, and he hated that his father had insisted that this union was the only way to bring peace. He didn't buy it. Peace was as simple as his father calling off the attack, that was all it would take. But he knew his father would ever relent, not unless he got something out of the treaty. In this case, a princess. Roald did not push for further conversation, allowing the Princess to eat without further interruption.

Sabela had done her best to eat what was put in front of her, but she just wasn't hungry. She felt sick, and she just wanted to go to bed. She sighed softly in relief as the dessert plates were taken away, thanking the maid as her plate was cleared away.

"You seem ill..." The Prince said softly, his eyes filled with sympathy. He'd been watching her the whole way through the banquet, noting how sad she looked. "I can escort you back to your room, where you can rest?" His words were soft and un-invasive, he realised this was hard for the princess and he did not wish to make her overwhelmed.

Sabela looked up quickly, as if a little startled. She nodded hastily.
"Yes..." she said quietly. "Yes please..."

The Prince stood, nodding politely to his father before he eased out Sabela's chair, helping her stand with a gentle hand.
As he took her arm and lead her from the hall, Llyr and his two companions moved to follow, knowing this was what they were supposed to do. They were to stand guard outside the Princess's chambers.
"Geraint, you can take the night off. Isaiah and i will stand guard tonight." His voice was kept low and very stiff.
"I'm sorry... about this." The Prince said once they were alone in the empty corridors. He seemed genuine, and his eyes were cast down to his feet.

Sabela looked up to him in surprise.
"You... you are?"

The Prince nodded, lifting his eyes to look at her squarely.
"It was my father's idea... if i had my way we'd just end the war as we are now... i don't think we need to barter lives over it..."

"Well," Sabela said softly, "then I wish it was you in charge and not your father."
A tear slipped down her cheek as she looked down.

The Prince smirked sadly, "Me too... but its not to be... not yet." He stopped, now standig outside her room. He released her arm, taking a step away and kissing her hand.
"Sleep well... and do not dread the morning... i want to help make your time here.... less painful." He chose his words softly.
