@Benevolensiae village.

“ It was indeed very enjoyable my Lady.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae For a moment he could feel the dance extract him from the responsibility of stately duty but the experience was to be short lived as her brothers beckoned them to join them .

@Benevolensiae around the fire.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae A soft smile eased upon his lips as her strategic plot began to emerge.

“ It might sway that there is also a risk that the Duke might send one or all of his sons in your place. Of course that would not do at all.”

He took her hand as they joined the villages in their dance+

@Benevolensiae strengthen the links between our nations.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae A sly smirk slipped upon his lips as she shared her hopes and fears.

He held her gaze for a moment before responding in a deep tone.

“ Perhaps I might suggest to your Father the Duke that he might send an ambassador or delegation to visit my realm with the hope that we might +

@Benevolensiae “ It will hopefully be more liberating now that the Ottoman Turks have been beaten back.”

A reassuring smile slipped upon his defiant lips.

“ Perhaps with the newly forged peace your Father might allow you to visit with an appropriate escort from his personal guard of course.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae seem commonplace in civilisation.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ If by tolerant you mean transparent and honest then I would be inclined to agree with you .”

He observed her taking a seat as her hair was braided in the traditional style.

“ In Wallachia we talk plainly and directly without the overtones of flattery and deception that +

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae He raised his eyebrows in explanation as to the suggestion that others might let him win.

“ In Wallachia everyone plays to win & there are no false victories. Every triumph is won through hard work and skill. Perhaps your brothers don’t let you win but are beaten legitimately.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ It is fortunate that we are not engaged in competition. I get the feeling that you would not be satisfied with second place.”

He responded as she defiantly crossed her arms across her chest. Vlad realised that the game was now in play.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ Would you deny the Duke his moment of triumph just out of principle.”

He responded in a playful tone as a satisfying smirk slipped upon his menacing lips.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ Whatever understanding we would reach would soon trigger the hastening of interest from chancellors and their armies of assistants. I would recommend that for the time being we keep this understanding between us.”

A reassuring smile slipped upon his lips.

“Do you agree ?”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae could hope for.”

He responded in deep tone.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ I think that the greater houses are often overated my Lady and that the Bards have been known to overstate the facts for the purpose of enhancing their songs.”

A subtle smile eased upon his lips.

“ Why wouldn’t I take an interest in you ? You are more than a minor Prince +

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae he raised his eyes to meet hers.

“ I am surprised that you are showing so much interest in a minor Prince from the eastern reaches of civilisation.”

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae A satisfying smile settled upon his lips as he realised that the game was now in play.

“ I am not some arrogant Prince from Vienna boasting about my romantic conquests. I am not one to kiss and tell even if I have yet to secure a kiss.”

A sly smirk slipped upon his lips as +

@Benevolensiae “ A realm is more than just monuments and Palaces a realm is its people and perhaps one of its people has caught my eye.”

He responded with a tone of mystery as the dance concluded and they made their way to one of the tables.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae anything of value .”

A satisfying smile slipped upon his lips as they proceeded to dance around the fire.

[Ꮙʟᴀᴅ ɪɪɪ ⅅʀᴀᴄᴜʟᴀ @Sanguineopacus]

@Benevolensiae “ Why must you tease me with talk of pleasure while outside of the perimeter of noble governance. “

He teased her in a playful tone as they stepped through the dance.

“ I have met both the French and English and I must confess I wasn’t impressed.They spoke a lot without saying+
