@flewhigher -- him but his true thoughts, were solely his to enjoy or fight against.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@flewhigher -- He'd come to learn quickly that emotions were powerful weapons, that can be sharpened and used upon most. For who wanted their king unhappy? Who didn't wish to be the reason behind the King's smile ; his laugh.
He'd come to use his emotions -- to sway those around --

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@EnvieuxReign The kingdom and its people were built on naivety and despite constant attacks and dramas -- they've yet to grow out if it

Oh, he's aware of the secrets around him but his people are even mediocre when it comes to dirt and secrets.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@ofazuremagick Hasn't she learned yet? Patience is a virtue. No argument, dare he say it -- he's impressed.
The very best of friends ; if rumors are to be believed. Flickers his attention away to the woman that was still talking. From the looks of it, they'll be here awhile.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@ofazuremagick There was a pull of the lips -- a smirk.
The little wink directed at the young king didn't go unnoticed by either the royal or his fellow advisors.
Why not?
Last he checked, there was nothing wrong with looking.

That's all they're doing.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@EnvieuxReign Ha.
Well, well -- she may have just became a bit more interesting.
He cares little for courtly gossip, unless, it involves him or his consort.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@ofazuremagick Oh, she certainly has 𝒉𝒊𝒔 attention, now.
Peers over, letting Fairy Godmother's words become nothing but background noise, as he focused his attention on his advisor.
Lingering for a moment on red painted lips.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

--- If it hasn't been made clear yet. No one cares about what she has to say beyond material swatches and fashion.
now shoo --- the dough boy is looking for you.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

So, 𝒏𝒐.
Had he been vexed she wouldn't have had a plan --- why, is it because Evie does all the thinking for her?

The corner of his lips twitched as he spotted the icy glare, a surge of amusement bubbling.

Ah, there she is. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒏.

[* 𝐌𝐚𝐥 ! @flewhigher]

Maybe? She doesn't know yet.
⠀⠀⠀She was merely wondering.

⠀⠀⠀She's straightening her posture, returning the cold glare he gave her with her arms crossed over her chest.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

--- language, spare.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

-- what is that? did someone say something?
no. good, because doesn't recall asking her.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

--- Little change was present in his features, observing her with a cool detachment as fingers tapped against the arm of his throne.

𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈.
𝑾𝒉𝒚?
Does she plan to lessen his irritation?

[* 𝐌𝐚𝐥 ! @flewhigher]

Her brow arches, questioning.

⠀⠀⠀What got him so irritated?

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

@MagicallyRotten
---- come out to play, he promises to make it worth her while. Degrading words paired with a ( delicious ) vintage.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

Releases a long drawn out sigh.

Clearly, he's asking after her, isn't he?

[* 𝐌𝐚𝐥 ! @flewhigher]

She's right here.

⠀⠀⠀Did someone look for her?

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

---- where's Mal?
narrows eyes as he sweeps the area in search of the girl.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

There's a stench of desperation in the air.
--- oh, look, Audrey's here.

[𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. @taintedmonarchy]

----- he's here.
unfortunately.
