Silly guy

 "Princess Maria," a lady approached her. Maria had seen her before, in all the five months she's been in attending the royal meetings, always watching, never commenting meaninglessly. 

 She only spoke when she needed to, and when she did, it was always in a sharp, yet relaxed, tone.

 "Queen Azura," Maria bowed respectfully, "is everything alright?" 

 Queen Azura was a princess in the Neon kingdom, forcibly married, and rebelled so furiously that she was sentenced to prison. When she got out, promising to marry her ex-husband - King Regon of the Leather Kingdom, only to run away.

 In her days of freedom, she met a man named Scott (the future king of the Neon kingdom), and became endeared to him to the point where when she was begged to return to her original home, she had two, simple requests; 1. She can divorce her current husband, who she never loved at all, and 2. Marry the commoner she fell in love with - Scott, who worked at the stables she stayed in for the first month when on the run, and who, to her word, was the only person who ever understood her.

 She was truly a polarizing figure - and not just to Maria. Rumours surrounded her very presence, from simple, silly ones like how she would make her minds learn how to play various instruments so she could have an orchestra whenever she took baths, or serious ones about how she took in dark sorcerers and sorceresses into her lands. 

 "Yes, my dear," the woman fiddled with her extravagant fan, flapping it delicately, her electric blue eyes on display. "I am only worried about you." 

 Maria blinked, sputtering, "wh- what?" before she clasped her hand over her mouth, "pardon me, but why would you be worried about me? Our kingdoms are so far apart.." 

 Queen Azura laughed. It was a pleasant one, beautiful, even, but it did not make Maria feel any better. "Princess," she started, "don't you think you'd be safer with someone more… experienced by your side?" 

 Maria's heart dropped, as she clenched her fists together. She didn't understand. Was this some kind of stunt? A way to fool her? 

 "I would like to help you," Queen Azura continued. "I've been in this game for years now." 

 "A game of cat and mouse," Maria whispered. 

 Queen Azura's voice made Maria almost want to agree on instinct. It was warm enough to be friendly, cold enough to be intimidating. It was a voice that would command thousands, but not in the way of Anne Roslyn, no, it was powerful, unmistakably threatening to the ones she wished it to be. "You're smart. It would be a pleasure-" 

 "Why?" 

 Nobles weren't kind. They were corriable to people they deemed worthy, sure, but they were kind. They would not offer help so opened - especially to a princess like Maria, who had a small kingdom and not much to offer at the moment. 

 If Queen Azura looked startled at her suddenness, she didn't look it. "How much do you know about your parents? Your deceased mother? Your father?" 

 Maria bit her lip down, "nothing much. Especially not my mother…"

 Queen Azura took a step closer, like a predator approaching prey, "well, let's just say I have something I want from the both of them." 

 "Well, alright," Maria drew herself up, dignified, "I guess we have an alliance, then, hm?" 

 "Indeed, my dear."
