@Sanguineopacus ++ with the people."

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

The trail of her light colored gown dragged along the mud, but not one care had been given to the now poor state of her gown.

Gently, the lady would dab her damp cloth upon a soldier's leg wound. He of course would scream in pain. (@Sanguineopacus) ++

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus As the percussion would beat, the village girls would move to the rhythm. As the dance concluded, a round of applause would be given. Afterwhich both Elisabetha and Vlad would be called by her brothers. It was time to return.

"It's always a pleasure to celebrate ++

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus ++ along with her.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus A soft chuckle would leave her lips as she realized he was willing to throw his hat in the ring to play at this game.

"That would perhaps sway things a bit." She'd respond with a smirk before she would then move to dance around the fire with the others, dragging Vlad ++

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "Let us hope that he at least comes to a reasonable conclusion when I ask it of him." Once the younger girl had finished braiding her hair, Elisabetha would rise from her seat to join the others to dance once again, this time taking Vlad's hand in her own to usher him to dance.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "It must be so liberating to live in Wallachia." She would sit tightly as her hair was then braided into an updo, the little red flowers from the carpathians inserted into sections.

"I very much would love to see it, if only my father would let me travel outside of our realm."

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "Your culture is tolerant then." Elisabetha's next words would be interrupted by a young girl approaching her, asking for her hair to be braided up like the others. The Lady would motion for her to sit down before she would slowly begin to divide the other's hair.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "I'm used to winning, or perhaps letting my brothers make me win." She'd kid, a small smirk coming to form before she would then fold her arms over her chest.

"The young women where you are from— do they let you win?" A brow arched at the voivode, a trick question.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "I would if it gives me mine." A soft chuckle would ceawl upon her lips as she then folded her arms over her chest. Perhaps the appropriate thing now was to kiss him? Yet perhaps not in front of all of these people.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "I wouldn't want my father to think that he is victorious." She would frankly say, with cheek and a smile of the same nature coming to form.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus Elisabetha could feel her stomach flutter at his comments as it gave reason for a smile to form across her soft features.

"Are we to come to an understanding then, your royal highness?" She would boldly ask.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "I am not exactly from a great house, nor am I the great beauty that bards would sing about til the day we become legends." Elisabetha would then tilt her head as she observed him.

"I'm surprised you've taken an interest, your royal highness."

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus ++ he had succeeded in dangling this suitor right under her nose. She wanted to decide by herself.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "Well then you must tell me who this mystery person is." She was not clueless as a fly, but she did not want to seem presumptious. Whatever exchanges had occured between her and the voivoide was kept close to her heart.

She did not, however, want her father to think ++

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "And how do you find our little realm?" She'd then stop fron the dancing, breaking from the chain as she then moved to approach one of the tables to get something to drink.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus ++ them we are human and not set above them."

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "We are not French, nor English. There should always be a mixture of business and pleasure." A small giggle departing from her lips as she then followed the young men and women into dancing around the fire that had been built.

"We keep the people happy by showing ++

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus ++ would be seen not entirely becoming of a young maiden, yet that night, she was not the grand lady that she was, rather she was one of the people.

[* 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀. @Benevolensiae]

@Sanguineopacus "well, the nobles are always governed by rules. What's a bit of fun every now and then?" A smirk presented to the voivode before she'd eventually join the circle of young girls who danced.

They would move in a circle, hopping, bouncing, all sorts of movements which ++
