He was feeling rather...annoyed. His bride, the Princess of Shadowmere, was to arrive within the hour for their impending nuptials. He had never even seen her before — well, aside from her portrait. But he almost couldn't believe it. Why would the Shadowmere Kingdom send their only daughter to...him?

He exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose. Truthfully? He didn't want to marry her, but to stabilize his position and get his younger brother away from any notion of ever taking his place? He must.

"Time to greet my fiancée." He said more to himself, fixing his jacket. By the time he got out to the front of the palace, he could see a carriage and entourage in tow.

His current feelings were mixed. Should he treat her with respect? Escort her from her carriage? He didn't really know. Begrudgingly, he approached the door and nodded, allowing them to open it. His eyes immediately fell on her, almost...appraising her.

"Princess, welcome to Eldoria. I...presume your journey here was well?" He asked, his brows slightly knit together.
