Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beck blinked as he let it turn over in his head before having it click. "Wait...so you mean...," he pointed to the coach ", that the King of Nibelheim sent me his one and only daughter for me to marry so I can forgive him for the stuff he said? The threats he made to my country?" The guards fidgeted as he spoke while Grace blinked and walked towards him.

"Your Highness, with all due respect. I also requested to marry you." She grinned "I saw your matches from my room and I must say that your strength was...surprising." He nodded and thanked her. "My father has a large country under his control as you could see. We are strong strategy wise." Gracefyre walked around him. "But not military wise. All the wars we've won so far are because our lands are simply put: Mountains are too strong for the rear and people lose half their forces roughly in that. Some people get lost in the forest that you went through. Our forts are placed so well in areas that they've gained notoriety among another nations." Her hand gripped his shoulder seductively. "With our combined forces the other nations wouldn't stand a chance. Beck...we would be a force to be reckoned with!"

Gracefyre looked at Tray and blinked before responding "My apologies! That wasn't my intent. I'm just used to speaking on the behalf of my father in court and council meetings so I'm used to talking in politics."

Beck raised his hand as Grace went to talk even more but looked at him and stopped. "You see...Grace. You're a beautiful woman but I'm not looking to marry you. Or anyone else from out of this country." he turned to Tray and held her close as he added "I already have my Queen."

Grace looked at Tray and smiled before asking "Um...may Gordon and I come inside? There are some things I'd like to tell you two without my guards listening in."

Beck looked at her with slimmed eyes and responded "Depends. What are the topics of discussion?"
"Matters that I'd like to be in private."

Gracefyre frowned at them and turned to Gordon who was looking at the ground. "Sire...," said the old man before looking up. ", are you sure you don't want too reconsider? I mean, with all due respect sir you are turning down a Princess. Not just any Princess, but the daughter to a rich man who could give you aid in anyway you need. She personally wants to be married to you and Our King wants to be your ally. If you turn away his daughter, he might take that as a sign of war."

Beck had grown silent, and angry. "So...you're making it sound as though I have no choice but to marry Gracefyre?" Both persons nodded before Grace spoke up. "We don't really have to be married though! I mean, I'd love too because you're really strong and extremely handsome," she grinned with a blush ", but we can just be friends if you'd like. I'll send Gordon and the guards back to Nibelheim and have them say that you agreed. Then I just stay here with you!" she smiled.

Beck slimmed his eyes and thought about it. Moments passed by as he thought of what to do. With a sigh he said "Okay, you can stay. But only because I don't want another war! If you've been keeping up with the events in Leoan-which I'm sure you have- then I know you can imagine why I'm not ready for another war."

He turned and held Tray's hand as he added "Also, another condition: Don't try anything funny with me."

Beck looked at Tray and smiled "You know I won't ever leave you." With that he leaned in and kissed Tray on the cheek before walking inside the castle with Gracefyre slowly following up the steps after giving her orders to Gordon and the guards.

Beck sat down at his table as a soldier left. He looked down and saw requests from townsfolk and questions of certain policies that Viktor had placed. He read through half of those laws already and disbanded the majority. He had to admit though that there were a few good laws that he didn't really expect. A sigh came out of the man as he cracked his neck and remembered about Jaden.

He quickly grabbed a book on basic magick and left the room almost as quickly as he had been in there.

Beck walked around inside the castle for some time before stopping at a window and looking out to see Tray and Jaden outside, overlooking the soldiers. Beck then hastily left the castle and hurried down the steps before calmly walking towards them, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.
