❝ of course , my lady . ❞ alain replied , sitting back on his chair while examining a grape . the fruit balancing between his fingers seemed to be worthier of his attention than the woman sitting before him . SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL , but the prince had grown bored of her talking ; margaery tyrell spoke of monetary aid towards some god forsaken group of people a man like him would never have to interact with . he suspected that perhaps she had come to him in hopes that he’d persuade his father to help . alas , margaery had underestimated just how indifferent to the plights of others alain dumont really was . ❝ i am always sympathetic towards those who fight in the name of a noble cause . ❞ the prince sighed before finally popping the grape into his mouth , chewing it loudly . it was a clear attempt at either annoying or amusing his guest . either option would be infinitely more entertaining to him than all that bureaucratic babble .
one quick glance at her seemed to bring a smile to the prince’s face though . he leaned over the table between them , placing a daring hand over hers . it was an overly-confident gesture . but the members of his court often preferred to pull away or ignore such bold advances rather than stand up to him . they were all so scared of crossing alain ; it would be amusing if it wasn’t so infuriating . he gazed at her soft features , unapologetically following the curves of her lips before finally focusing back on her eyes . ❝ but i am also of the opinion that , when possible , we should always stop and smell the roses . ❞ alain smirked .
