This late at night, the castle was quiet... though the entire kingdom of Belthora had been silent since its once-living king and queen had passed away, leaving only a young, inexperienced and handsome prince behind to take up the throne. Seated in the council chambers was a youthful-looking man, with hair so pale it almost looked stark white in the dimness of the candlelight. He had a worried look about him, as if he wasn't sure about this meeting to come -- over the weeks, he'd been advised to try and find a suitable wife to be his queen... someone wise, beautiful and with a strong background, so that an alliance could be made.
That's what this meeting was for. Princesses and noble daughters from all over were gathering to meet this young prince at his home, hoping to catch his eye, steal his heart and claim his hand in marriage. The doors to the chamber suddenly opened, and a guard poked his head in. "Sire," he mentioned, dipping his helmet low. "You've a visitor."
Leonhart (or just Leon, sometimes) lifted his eyes and frowned, though nodded somberly. He wasn't too keen about the idea of marrying a woman he didn't know, but politics dictated otherwise. "Send them in," he said, and the guard bowed once more. Before too long, a beautiful (and very bust!) elven woman was ushered inside, and the prince's eyes widened as he looked upon her. An elf? He... hadn't been expecting one of her kind, not in this place. Humans and elves rarely married, after all. "Leave us," Leon was quick to say, and the chamber doors closed, leaving just the two of them inside the room, with nothing but a table and some chairs between them.
"Er -- my lady, I didn't -- if I'd known you were coming, I would've fetched some Elven wine. I apologize." Leon frowned, trying to keep his eyes from her incredible chest -- though it was hard...
