"I think it's gonna be an adjustment to everyone to see you do a complete turn around in presence and posture." He'd come up behind her to hold her, a smile as he hugged her back to his chest and also tired to change their minds onto different things; Like things that wouldn't make this feel so bittersweet. "We're not use to seeing the lioness having to be more passive then aggressive." Just as Evelyn's attentions were brought to the crows so to were Roland's ruby colored eyes drawn in to their meaning. "It's kind of fitting, isn't it?" His eyes with glinted stare ponder about the gods and their wisdom, his stare on the crown of Aelina. "Love is something this world needs much of and it's something that can try healing the ugly scare of war. Many sacrifices had been made in the name of love, for that of family and country. It is only right that love for each other and ourselves should be the driving force within us all as we stride to build a better future together." His hands reached for hers to nit their lll ok together and then in a caring way he'd make them both hold onto her belly; Right where one might expect a child to be carried. His eyes then glint over to the other crown, the one of two moons, and his lips would then kiss her cheek as he turned her around so they could be face to face; A soft grip around the woman's hips as Roland slowly began to sway and cox her into sharing one last dance with him. "I know you're gonna do well as empress. You're already thinking and acting as one before the crown and even now you're thinking of the people's need for something happy in their lives." A moment or two would pass, the steps shared in echoed air as his eyes silently tell Evelyn he cares for her deeply but his gaze held the truth that their romance must come to an end. "I will accept you paying for the wedding only on the condition that you'll show up...and I can share a smile with my best friend there."

Evelyn smiled slightly as she slipped back into her clothing and yelped when he hugged her from behind, but it still made her smile get a bit wider before she turned around in his arms and kissed him softly before she walked over to the crown "I hope I was right in this" she looked up at him "Becoming Empress was never something that I wanted until I learned my son would have a better life this way... he wouldn't be free but it would still be better then fighting for rotting scraps on the side of the road" she tilted the crown slightly in order to watch the gold change to platinum and the ruby to sapphire "Aelina and the siblings of the moon" she whispered as she let the crown rest again so it returned to its gold and ruby visage before she turned back around to look at Roland "I'm glad you think so, I don't think I'm going to do that well. I understand now why so many of my predecessors had problems." she went back over to him so she was back into his arms as she swayed with him. "Why have we never danced before?" she asked him as she looked up into his eyes "I'd be glad to attend, I'd be a bad host if I didn't"

"I believe we were too occupied to dance like this." His manly hands guided her movements to his, her graceful footwork keeping her gilding with every step, and with the crown somberly watching he cared for Evelyn however he can for how ling he can hold her in his arms."And since when did you start caring about being a host?" Roland teased since she was skipping out on everything else by being here with him; Who knows how many questions her disappearance might be causing. "Don't worry about not doing well. You'll have me by your side to help you however I can every step of the way. "

she said to him as she moved slowly as they danced, she could even hear the instruments coming from the great hall. Evelyn would look up into Rolands eyes and bring a hand up in order to caress his face. She then rested her head on his shoulder "Maybe you can help me with something I need advice on" she said to him as she continued moving, letting him lead her in their small dance "Ethe plans to declare independence from Lionis weather or not I publicly support the decision" she said to him as she kept her eyes closed, the hand that had caressed his face now rested on his shoulder "If I don't get something out of them leaving I will be starting out my reign with more malice and contempt from those that have power to sway minds such as the nobility and traders" she moved her head slightly so she was once again looking up at him "If a time ever comes that they do not desire me upon the throne and raise an army against me loosing Ethe will be the first thing on the list they throw back in my face. Lionis can go to war and force them to remain within the Empire but then I will be going against what I just fought for and show that I have tyranny in my heart." she looked away from him "...what should I do?"

Company:: Empress Evelyn Outfit:: Prince outfit Feeling:: Affectionate & slightly depressed Condition:: HealthyLocation:: Empress' Bedroom Currency:: 50¢ EC Items:: Dyrnwyn & Scelp Sword OOC:: Prince Roland Leoharz Bellris -Before Day Change- It was a very heavy question to ask him. Roland didn't know if he should say something on this matter since it didn't have anything to do with Bellris and it also wasn't his place to be putting ideas in Evelyn's mind that weren't her own, but he promised to help her however he could. Her eyes were as lovely as when she needed him by her side on the battlefield, and because of that he couldn't leave her alone. "I say, let them." It might have been an odd thing to say but he explains why. "They should be allowed to separate so long as they hand over everything pertaining to the empire and are fine with no longer having trade ties with any part of the empire. If they want independence then let them truly have such independence to stand on their own two feet." As they dance in step the sweet music plays on as the day rolls into night with Roland's eyes catching the last light of the setting sun. "True independence would let the Ethen people see what it is they have with the empire and how it's beneficial for all involved if they would only stay with you. There may be some reluctance to stay with the empire because of Azazel and what he's done but I feel that maybe Yukimi will hear out if you plead she not remove Ethe from the empire. After all, when Yukimi fled to Bellris after the volcanic eruption she spoke of unity with her people as they tried to live like brothers of Bellris. I know that if you reach out to her humanitarian side she'll maybe have her people stay...maybe." And yet time was too short. His hands slide from hers as the music stops and with a sly kiss he echos the silence of the near empty room before taking his leave. "I should probably get going Evelyn. If i don't return to my lands soon they'll notice I missing and I'd rather not try lying to everyone about where I was at."

Evelyn appeared in her room with her son in her arms, she would put him down in a chair and pick up a book "from today on you are Prince Nero Lionis of the Empire" she said to him as she would hand him the book and then a map "we will never be separated again" she said to him and then smiled we'll have to get use to each other again but it wont take long, but until then you get to pick a room." she said as she took a seat next to him and opened the map "Normally you would have the crown princes chambers but the Empire no longer has crown princes, so you can pick what ever you want" she said to him as she pointed to her room
this is mine." she said, but Nero looked a little hesitant. "How about we start with what you were studying in Ethe?" she asked him and the boy shrugged "reading and writing" he muttered under his breath, he looked a little like he might cry "I transformed and scared a servant" he said as he picked up the book and curled up in his chair as he opened the book and hid his face "doos we has a room that looks at a garden" he asked and Evelyn smiled "Two. Would you like one that just over looks the outside garden or one that has a sneaky passageway into the inside garden?" she asked, poking him and only causing him to wiggle in his chair "sneaky" he whispered as he hid deeper in the book. Evelyn smile as she picked up a quill and wrote down Neros name in one of the spaces before folding up the map "good. We'll need to get you new clothes too. Would you like that?" she asked but Nero just shrugged
What about some books?" she asked and the boy looked up and nodded. Evelyn smiled and then looked away to let out a deep breath very slowly so Nero wouldn't hear her. This was going to be difficult, and where was Xerseis? she had told the guards to just bring him up when he got here but she felt like it was taking forever despite it only having been a few minutes.

Gone's the wisdom

It had been when her highness was away when the crystalline dragon had arrived. It had been after her return when she notified the guards to see him to her room. Having already been inside the palace walls, there was still some searching done for him, that wasn't needed.
Some of the guards, that didn't know any better, continued to man the walls and the palace gate, to keep an eye out for his arrival, and expecting that he would appear at some point.
They would miss him altogether.
Deciding against making his appearance in a more traditional way, he decided to climb the walls of the palace. Some study and some questioning of the house staff gave him intimate knowledge of the palace and its functioning. He knew the hallways. He became aware of the towers, the stairwells, the rooms, and of each weakness this castle was exposed to.
He knew them intimately and pondered them within his heart as the dragons glimmering scales were seen as he climbed his way up the battlements, his claws digging into the stones that were ages old... but young, when one remembered the youth of the empire. His wings beat behind him, occasionally to adjust his balance. He made his way to the window.
There... he stared into the room....
And waited to be let in...
He saw the woman speaking to a small child... four, perhaps. He was young, indeed, and seemed disconnected with the woman. If this was the son he heard through the tangled grapevine, he was detached indeed. Time too long spent apart, perhaps?
He discarded these thoughts and merely continued observing... His golden eyes merely lighted on the woman. Awaiting her notice as he clung to the walls outside.

Evelyn sighed as she watched her son for a moment longer until something caught the corner of her eye. She looked over at the window and raised an eyebrow. The crystal dragons eyes had her mesmerized for a second. She would then stand up and walk over to the window. She would reach down and unlatch the window and push it open in order to welcome him in. She would then close the window behind him and lock it again "I was just waiting for you" she said to him. Nero looked up from his book for a second, staring at the Crystal dragon for a second before looking back down.

The dragon's claws braced itself on either side of the window and he climbed higher. As his true form lifted higher, it was clear that it would not fit into the window, but all appearances suggested this was how he intended to enter, at first. His hind leg braced itself on the window sill and his claws curled around the lower frame. He moved his head into the building.
The man appeared from the translucent scales and he slid inside, bracing himself on his booted foot, and entering the building with smooth precision, and an oddly graceful ease.... His golden eyes glanced to the child, noting that he was noticed, but gave the child no more than that glance.
He already knew more than he needed to, and more, perhaps, than his dear mother would want the crystal dragon to be aware of. He heard the window latch behind him and his golden eyes lighted back on the empress.
"I was expecting another letter," he admitted with his voice low and quiet, and barely above the tone one might have called a grumble. "I am surprised that you changed your mind... so soon.... It leads a man to wonder why."
His expression was suspicious, and though his lips were still, his eyes held the barest hint of a frown.

Nero looked at the golden eyed man and frowned, his eyes narrowing as it seemed he took an instant dislike of the white haired man for no reason at all as he stuck his tongue out at him and looked back at the book. Evelyn looked at him "Some things came up that require more then just my handy work" she said to him and I wasn't in the possition to be sending any more letters. I didn't have a single moment to myself since the coronation and I was in Ethe until recently" she said to him "but I wouldn't doubt it if you already knew that" she said to him. She would then walk over to the door and open it "Follow me" she said as she walked into the bathing chamber connected to her personal rooms. She would leave the door open "Close it behind you" she said as she unclasped the metal shoulder piece and took it off along with the red cape, she would set it off to the side "I'm going to get right to the point. I spoke to your King, Herod, and he gave me permission to marry. However he said marrying you would be a mistake" she said as she moved her black hair out of the way and pointed to the corset like lacing on the back "unlace me" she said to him "Tell me, why do you think he would be against my marriage to you?"

The crystal dragon chose to be an adult and not acknowledge the behavior of a child who was behaving out of place. He was not here to entertain the child. He followed the woman into the room, as she directed, and once again felt that this was somehow chipping away at what he felt honor was supposed to mean. As he was directed to close the door, he turned, and gripped the doors. He watched the child where he sat. Yes, he might have been trying to read the book, but the dragon lord would not deceive himself by pretending the child wasn't aware that he was watching him... even as he pulled the door slowly shut.
Once he no longer feared being watched by the fatherless child, he turned again back to the child's mother. She said one thing, but he had reason to believe otherwise. Herod gave her permission to marry him... that was nice. Herod must have represented his father, now.
It was also interesting to note that the king himself suggested that the empress would be making a mistake in marrying him, even while she turned her back to him. ....
He swallowed his initial reaction and stepped forward. His cool hands slid across the fabric and began to move over the cords and lace that held her clothes tightly to her. Some fashion, this was, that threatened one's ability to breathe, and therefore, fly. He began to slowly undo the knot.
"I suppose he looks after you by pointing out that you don't know me." He offhandedly suggested this as he drug the knot along his fingers and caused it to come loose.

The Boy indeed was not as engrossed in his book as he would make people believe, but as the door slowly shut Nero keep his eyes elsewhere until finally he heard the click as it shut. He would close the book and put it down on the table in front of him. He may have been in Ethe this last year but before that he was in Bellris. Nero moved onto all fours and crawled silently over to the door and he sat behind it, slowly placing his back against the wood and listened in. Evelyn would take in a deep breath as she felt her clothing become less constricted "I have to get use to court clothing again, its been at least ten years since I've worn anything of the sort." she said calmly as she let him finish up unlacing before she sighed and took the corset piece off and placed it off to the side, leaving her in a maroon under shirt "So, their isn't anything I will find out by digging though any records that might be concerning?" she asked him "Before you become my Consort you will have to go to the Oracles to be aloud to be in such a position, before that I will be looking into your background, so anything you don't want me to hold against you should be said now"

The dragon released a low chuckle, that caused his chest to rumble as he considered it. This suspicion was a bit late in coming, wasn't it? Of all the things for her to bring forth, it wasn't the favor that she had asked of him, but everything and anything else. He did not initially ask to be her consort, but her husband, and even now, it sounded as though she was denying this request by insisting he be something as easily disposed of. He did not need the title of emperor.
... No, at this point, he didn't need it at all.
He let the ribbon and cord slip from his fingers, and watched as she removed it. She seemed much to comfortable unchanging in his presence. She said something about court clothing, but what was she showing her son by being so casual with a man that he didn't even know?
"I should have thought you would be more concerned about what is found of your history rather than mine." The dragon answered as he looked to his fingers. He turned them over and studied the color of his nails. There was some dust from the wall he climbed, but nothing terribly out of sorts. "Are you aware of how much your staff talk of while you are absent?"

Evelyn smiled as she kept her body turned away from him. She walked over to the bath, having already been drawn for her a while ago "oh? and what is it that they say about me" she asked him, her voice sounded curious and surprised, almost like she had been taken off guard but as she turned and went over to a wall, running her hand along the stones, her eyes were dead. They were bored, they displayed a fell sort of demeanour hidden not within the greens that made up the majority of her iris' but within the golden sparks that lit them. Right now those sparks were simmering, the way they lay within the green made it seem as if they were small embers amongst grass. She stopped running her hand along the wall when her finger nails dipped into a crack and she pushed it open easily and walked into the darkness where a glowing light came from, a small fire constantly heating water. She would pick up a wooden bucket and fill it with the hot water before taking it out of the hidden room and closing the door. "Do be so bold and entertain my unobservant mind" and said as she poured the hot water into the large bath tub.

The crystal dragon, preferring not to be accused of wrongdoing, satisfied himself by staying in the main part of her private room while the empress retreated to the bathing room, where he assumed she would completely disrobe and soak herself. How vulnerable she was putting herself, even while he was present... A marvel, indeed.... Should he be surprised that the child was without a father?
His eyes flicked to the door of the private chamber. No child who was attentive or protective of his sole parental figure would have chosen to ignore their conversation, regardless of their ability to hear it. He wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest if they were being overheard.
He would have done the same.
He began to make his way to the far window.
"They speak of your guests and visitors... some that stay long enough to burn the midnight oil..." He cleared his throat. "In this chamber..."
He glanced to the bedroom itself. The staff did their work, he would admit, for the room was clean, tidy, and prepared to accept its mistress. As clean and attentive as any would wish their domicile to be... who would wish to avoid being found out.
