Chapter 203: Luck vs Villain.

Thalassa was prevented from joining the madness by Elarin at Sigrid’s direct command. Sigrid made the decision because the princes looked overwhelmed and yet they were maintaining a polite attitude in dealing with all the women. They were not fools, this kind of attention was not new to them.

The fact that Thalassa was not participating in the eager attempts to charm him actually impressed Firron all the more and he looked at her a few times. This displeased the queen and she declared the start of the lunch.

The two princes were visibly relieved when they were sat away from most of the ladies. Sparks however flew because the sitting arrangement she had prepared had been tampered with.

Prince Firron was sitting between Thalassa and Mauve while Prince Eron sat between Marianne and Brynlee Thorin. Brynlee was Sigrid’s cousin that looked the most like her and Sigrid had specifically had Alistair fetch her because she had noticed Eron’s attraction to her. Sigrid figured Eron would settle for Brynlee and it seemed he was doing so because he was giving her more attention than Marianne.

Queen Maurelia tilted her head forward and shot Sigrid an icy smile. Sigrid raised her wine glass and toasted the queen.

She laughed softly in response but the sound was shrill and devious. It was covered up by the louder sound of music being played by the royal musicians.

As the meal drew on, the princes were pulled into conversations about magic, politics, music, flying ships, martial arts, wine and their marital state. As soon as both of them declared that they were unwed, relief was heard in the room. Some of the young women became bolder and recommended themselves, others were shy but they invited the princes out on dates. They endure accusing and hateful looks from others because they wanted to make lasting impressions.
