Her Protector (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

She blushed more and looked away shyly.
By the week's end, the invitations were sent out and the ball was set to start. On the night of its start, everyone arrived in beautiful gowns and suits and marvellous masks. Annella sat in her throne dressed in a deep blue and gold embroidered gown, wearing a half mask with peacock feathers. Her hair was styled up in a bun with loose strands that framed her face.
 
Munro was dressed in more stylish clothing, but with light leather armor underneath. His hair was pulled back, and his mask had been polished and adorned with gold trim highlights.
 
"Your Highness," Annella looked to her advisors, Henry in particular, and motioned for him to speak, "We have taken to opportunity to have suitors come to the event." "How kind," Annella sais bitterly before looking back at the pairs of people dancing, "I plan not to marry." "Please reconsider." Henry urged. Annella rose her head slightly and made a small noise, "I will not."
 
Munro chuckled a bit and leaned in. "Wish upon a monkey's paw, Henry. She may reconsider and marry a highlander instead." He smirked behind the mask.
 
"Hold your tongue, barbarian." "I would kindly ask you do not speak to my protector that way." Annella said.
 
"I might have to protect her against some forms of verbal abuse and pestering." He said, voice flat and cold as ice.
 
"Why you-!" Henry stopped when he saw Annella stand. "My brave and loyal Munro, I would be honored if you would accept a dance with your queen." She said smoothly, curtsying before him.
 
"Ah that if he kept asking you to reconsider marriage, you would accept and marry a Highlander to upset him..~" he said with a grin, moving to pull her close against him as they began to dance.
 
She blushed darkly and smiled, "Who knows, I may just do it.." She replied, thinking he was only playing.
 
She blinked, "Oh...really...? And why is that...? For the power...?" She didn't sound angry or accusatory, only taken aback and curious.
 
"Well, having full control of the country is rather tempting.." She smiled softly, "You really think I'm beautiful?"
 
When the song ended, they bowed to each other and she led him to the food table, pouring him some wine and offering it with a smile.
