"Money cannot buy off magic protections, are you sure you know how all this works?" his voice was condescending for just a moment, and he shook his head. "Of course I am well-read on the laws; I am going to rule the Winter Court. That is how being an heir works. You learn the laws. And deals are not illegal. Again, everything was done consensually and free of ensorcellment, meaning that everything was carried out legally."
"Yes, but money can buy those who can break through said enchantments." Alice snorts. "You seem to forget that humans, though weak and short-lived, are more powerful than you give them credit for."
"If they were so legal, why were they done at the middle of the night, in abandoned corridors?" she asks.
He shook his head faintly. "Because most members of "your" court do not like to admit they are carrying out deals with the fae. Again, are you sure that you understand how all of this works? Most people don't wish to carry out deals in public; there is too much stigma attached to it." their gaze remained calmly on her.
Alice sighs. "You really are a Faerie, I'll give you that. Blighted little bugger. You are very adept at this, and yet a mere human knows. I'll find a way, trust me. In the mean time, rest. And get out. Stop spying."
"I'm shocked." he said dryly. "I really am a faerie. Thank goodness, I was worried that I was not." his voice was dry and vaguely sarcastic, and he shook his head. "And no, I don't think I want to get out. This is far too entertaining."
Alice snorts. "You know, I've never liked Faeries. Lingering where they shouldn't. I'll line the room with cold iron when you leave."
What she doesn't say is this: I've been hired to kill many of your kind, little Faerie prince. I'm the boogyman to your people: sneaking in, slaughtering the family, leaving without a single trace. You should fear me.
She knows that the Faerie can read her eyes easily, and she counts on this.
He met her eyes, and just laughed. "I'm sure you will, darling." he replied, cocking their head faintly with a smile still dancing across his face.
"You should know this about me, at least: I make promises and keep them. I make no threats." Alice grins, the words pleasant once more as she regains her courtly manner.
"Of course not, that would be unladylike." he replied, mouth twitching for a moment and shaking his head a little bit.
"Of course." Alice says, a small smile playing around her lips. She walks towards the door, and pauses right next to the Faerie prince, putting her lips right next to his ear.
"*And I promise you, if you do anything to any of the peoples in this kingdom, the Winter Courts will know the wrath of Alice." she whispers. She smiles as she says this, then leaves.
He laughed. "So frightening, I am quivering in my boots." he said mockingly. "I have done nothing without consent and permission. I am not the bad guy in this situation, darling, no matter how much you try to make me one."
