princess of wales.

cassandra ruth langston, twenty-two. crown princess of wales. ' behaving like a princess is work. it's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. it's more about how you are inside. '

Noor nodded with her lips pursed as if to say of course, I should have known. She had never considered Cass to be out of shape, in fact the redhead had always had the muscle, she herself had lacked. Thin was not fit always. “Duke of Edinburgh, huh? He must have been poor company,” Noor mused and stood up from her seat. She kneelee in front of the girl and placed a small kiss on top of her knee. Her fingers rested on Cass’s thighs. “Maybe it’s just been so long since I really saw your body? Human memory is fickle,” she replied with a smirk that matched her tone. She was not sure if Cass was willing to continue their previous relationship, things had changed quite drastically in a short time after all. Noor’s lips remained close to the pale skin of Cass’s legs. She did not dare to venture past the beginning of her thigh: did Cass even want her anymore?

sometimes cassandra wished she was as lithe as noor, in her eyes the jordanian princess had it all. she was naturally beautiful, blonde and thin, and cassandra found herself envying her ‘friend’ on occasion. it was odd for cassandra to take a compliment, and she inspected her arms again. ‘ he doesn’t hike up anything anymore, being so old. so really, i was just doing it myself. they should call it the princess of wales award. ’ her train of thought was lost as she felt noor’s light touch, and she couldn’t think of anything else to say instead to mutely stare down at where her legs and noor’s fingers touched. and cassandra had almost been able to convince herself that the pair were just friends now. a worried glance at the door, and cassandra worried how she’d explain noor’s position if a staff member were to enter, but the feel of noor’s warm breath against her skin caused a slight moan to escape her lips, and she immediately bit her lip, her cheeks flushing a pale pink.

     Evangeliya scratched her head, taking a moment to look around her. “ Huh.. ” She surely was as lost as you could get. That wasn’t even her first thought about the room. “ Oh, don’t worry about it. I just haven’t gathered my sense of direction since arriving here. I thought this was another hallway; looks the same as a corridor I passed by ages ago. ”

[blodyns-blog]

cassandra glanced around again. sure, she’d been in this room a couple of times, but she supposed that those less inclined to absorb the history wouldn’t have bothered. perhaps evangeliya really was lost. ‘ i could help you find your way. after all, i don’t have much else to be getting on with. ’

She sighed in defeat, knowing all too well she would never win this. Noor did feel a bit bad for Cass, not because Hendry was an “asshole” but just simply because it could not have been easy being the person who had to deal with her immaturity and the mess she and Hendry had made in the past. “Nah, you lie. He’s the worst.” Her words lacked fire because yes, even she knew he wasn’t a bad person. She had really liked him, cared for him even. And she didn’t wear her heart on her sleeve: he had done some things right. “Still… Send me an invite to the wedding.” She didn’t know how happy he would be to see his ex and his wife’s friend sitting in the crowd but she wasn’t willing to miss the big day. Her finger drew patterns on the kitchen counter. The most logical following conversation topic would have been Clara but obviously Cass nor she was willing to go there. “But hey, this talk about a boy is so above us. Tell me, exactly when did you get so ripped.” Had she always been so blind or had Cass really gotten more fit? Though it had been a while since Noor had seen her arms bare as their latest encounter had been during sweater weather.

[blodyns-blog]

cassandra swished her almost empty glass absent-mindedly as she listened to noor, and she flashed forward inwardly to the would-be wedding, knowing that tensions would be high. despite being quite glad to be part of a further bridge between wales and scotland, cassandra had to admit that her engagement came with a great deal of already existing baggage. then again, so did clara’s. but she wouldn;t go into that right now. blushing lightly, though probably quite prominently on her pale complexion, cassandra surveyed her arms curiously, and then shrugged with a slight grin. ‘ i’ve been climbing mountains. helping the duke of edinurgh, you know, with the the award. ’ it was no secret that cassandra was always actively involved in initiatives and charity events, it was all part of her goal to be though of as the perfect people’s princess. biting her lip coyly, she edged closer to noor. ‘ you didn’t always think i was fit ? ’

“ Does that mean you are ‘betrothed’? And yes I’m not betrothed to anyone and if my parents know any better they’d know to not be in negotiations to change that.”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ yes, to a prince of scotland. i’m finding it quite a blessing to have been selected someone so close, it will only strengthen our union, don’t you think ? ’ smiling slightly at the irish princess, cassandra saw something of herself in aelin. ‘ that’s what i used to be like. in fact, that’s what my sister is still like. ’

[hxndry-deactivated20160929]

the atmosphere around them was awkward, for him at least. his eyes trailed her every move, noting how graceful she was in the way she carried herself and he’s reminded that she’s a princess, your wife-to-be. clearing his throat, he tried to think of something to say to get rid of the building tension in the air. “ pardon my hostility earlier, it clearly hasn’t been a smooth morning for me. ” he stated. “ are you settled down already? ” small talk, hendry, at least don’t let her hate you, was all he thought of as he spoke.

[blodyns-blog]

in a dignified manner, cassandra nodded at his apology, and cleared her throat. ‘ i am sorry to hear it, i only hope that the rest of your day is much more fruitful. ’ nodding curtly, she wondered if she should attempt to spark up a conversation, but luckily hendry took the reigns. ‘ oh, yes, i have emptied all of my belongings, and i feel much more comfortable. my sister was of great help, she arrived slightly before me. ’ although she spoke freely, and attempted to engage her fiance, she could tell that the pair were still stiff and formal, and that this marriage was looking to turn out as nothing more than a political union. 

[camxden]

     “ Conversation topics? ” he offhandedly repeated, processing the content given to him. With his arms crossed, he smirked, “ ‘Haps, you’re thinkin’ ‘bout it too much. I’d say let it come naturally, but..” Camden paused, considering whether or not he should assume the role of a third party. “ Mmkay, I’ll spill a little bit. Have ‘im talkin’ ‘bout his childhood, especially his time with Willow. That’ll spark somethin’. They were lil’ rascals. It’ll give ‘ya a chance ta’ learn more ‘bout ‘im too. He’s more than a rugby lover, Cass. ” He leaned against the wall, and tilted his head. “ It’s wonderful. She’s the love of m’ life. I asked for her hand in marriage, ya’know. ”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ it may come as a surprise to you, camden, but having no brothers of my own, i am not exactly experienced in so called ‘ guy talk ’. i am afraid i know more about the runways than any sort of camping equipment. ’ she sighed tiredly, before listening to camden’s brief insight into her fiance. ‘ i suppose, i just assume that scottish people adored rugby. that’s what everyone says. although, it might have been terrible to assume such a thing. i only know how i would feel if someone approached me asking if i owned a pet sheep. ’ crossing her arms in a manner that contradicted how she had been taught to stand as a princess, she was only half listening to his reply, and his exuberance only depressed her further. cassandra could only offer a one word, half-hearted reply. ‘ lovely. ’

[vcncs]

“ now that is what i call a good house wife, if you don’t take offence to that. ”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ not at all, i am not one of those young women. ’ she smiled softly, and then extended dainty arms to offer the woman a plate of food.

[jamiexdawson]

“That we’re not allowed to leave the grounds, yes but not my room. This place is pretty big.”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ i am not at all interested in having to venture into the corridors and be harassed with petty gossip about air-headed princes.’ 

[evcngeliya]

     “ No, I meant specifically.. Like, the room, ” Evangeliya corrected, before cocking her head. Because she wasn’t sure if she was being insulted or faced with friendly banter, she asked, “ I beg your pardon? ”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ this is the gallery. you can tell by all the paintings. ’ she gestured around lazily, still believing the girl’s question to have been a joke. at her offence, cassandra was startled. ‘ sorry, i did not mean to upset you, it is just a bit odd to be lost in such a common place in the castle. ’ 

[vrnvuld]

At the mention of surfing a lá beginner Noor, she pursed her lips briefly but very quickly it turned into a grin. “Absolutely dreadful. Dreadful is the best word to describe the mess I was. Also you really should burn that newspaper, the less evidence, the better,” she told her friend with a pointed look. Honestly a scrap of newspaper mattered to her as much as an ant to God but she knew Cass just might use it for a revenge of any sort. She did not think very positively about the castle, just as Cass admitted, it was easy to fill the rooms with unwanted faces. The pros barely thriumphed the cons. Safety and friends really made her stay at the chilly castle. She also figured she had to do her part in politics and befriend as many people as she could and her pride would allow her to. She would never stoop so low to as consider patching up with the unnamed dark haired hunk. How he managed to be right in the middle of her relationships was beyond her. Hendry and Cass. It seemed so wrong. She opened her mouth just to clamp it shut again. This was a bad bad topic to start discussing about, she knew that. However against her better judgement she began talking. “So I heard you’ve been paired up with the asshole, crazy world, huh?”

[blodyns-blog]

cassandra merely smirked playfully, knowing that even noor understood she would not be getting rid of that evidence any time soon, it would act as perfect leverage next time noor tried to hold something over her head. ‘ the asshole ? ’ she scoffed in jest, believing the title not to be one that could be attributed to her future husband, however, her heart sunk when she remembered just why noor referred to him as such. and here she was, thinking her marriage would be untainted. ‘ it does not transfer across his personality, noor. he is perfectly amiable, if you are willing to glance past his... well, past. ’ talking fiances with noor was quite uncomfortable for cassandra, in more ways than one, and she hoped to move on before she was forced to debate the suitability of her own sister.

      “Who do you think painted these? It doesn’t say. Do you think there’s something on the history of this castle around here some place?”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ you could always ask alma. ’ cassandra suggested politely, glancing at the artwork the other woman was commenting on. ‘ they are beautiful pieces, though. it is odd to be somewhere and know little of its past. ’

[bcllcmys]

“ you would have thought being a guest in a royal castle would bring you better service then this. i’m already disappointed. ”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ i am afraid i might have lost my husband in the kim kardashian game by this point. '

[reborntragedy]

willow would trace the edge of her whiskey glass with a single digit. her skin illuminated by the candle light. one firm gulp and the burning liquid glides down her throat. her eyes were locked on the pages before her. in her hand was a bottle swaying lightly from side to side.

[blodyns-blog]

cassandra glances over at the other princess from the edge of the room, before emerging from the shadows, noticing willow’s sullen expression. ‘ tough day ? ’

[evcngeliya]

     After looking back and forth, Evangeliya finally mustered up the courage to speak the person nearest to her side. With a light tap, she asked, “ Hellooooo.. I’m not lost, or anything, but I was, uh.. just wondering.. where are we, right now? ”

[blodyns-blog]

‘ uh, iceland. ’ cassandra was sweet to all those she encountered, although she believed that the other girl’s question might have been a practical joke. after all, where had she been ? ‘ did you hit your head or something ? ’
