((Oh, I get that, I've been busy))
Leopold nodded slightly, his parents knew that he was not thrilled about the ball, but he just played along with it. "Yes, I cannot wait to celebrate with my betrothed." The prince said cheerily, looking down at the food placed before him. He never really was hungry in the mornings, but he figured it'd be better if he ate at least a little bit of it. "Will other royal families be in attendance?" He asked, taking a sip of his tea.
Eleanora gagged inside. She hated the word ‘betrothed’, especially when it was the two of them.
“Yes, the kingdoms from the north and west shall be in attendance. They should be arriving at noon. Other smaller kingdoms and important families have been invited as well.” Eleanora’s father said and he started on his meal.
Eleanora picked up her knife and fork and started eating, her stomach starved from not eating dinner the night before.
Leopold was not too fond of those families, having had plenty of issues with their sons many times in the past. But well, it was not his choice as to who was and who wasn't invited to this ball, after all, it was Eleanora's family who was choosing to do it, so it probably wouldn't be too bad. Although I am not too thrilled about seeing Adamo and Calian and the rest of their families once again.
As the meal continued, Leopold began to force himself to eat his meal, not wanting to appear rude in front of his bethrothed's family.
Eleanora was yet to meet any of the families from the other kingdoms and she was excited to know what they were like. She knew that both kingdoms had son's around her age and she wondered to herself if they would be a suitable match in her eyes.
She sneaked a glance at Leopold, wondering how he would feel if she got married to another prince. She was sure the boy felt the same as she did and didn't want to be forced into this arranged marriage.
Finishing up her meal, Eleanora quietly sat and waited for others to finish. The parents were conversing about simple royal matters that she didn't understand yet.
((Do you want her to leave, or for them to leave together, and just sort of have a conversation before the other royal families come in?))
(I was thinking she might get taken away by someone who would start getting her ready, hair and make up wise)
(Also I'm going to be inactive for a bit as I have an important event coming up :)
