as soon as the paparazzi fell away from view, dalia let go of her brother’s arm, the pretty smile fell out of her face as easily as it was placed. “making your societal debut in a royal wedding is ballsy, but i suppose you enjoy feeling important.” her voice was light, only mildly touched by bitterness. perhaps it was her eyes, forged in the fire of the stage and all its drama, that told the honest truth. they didn’t belong here, in this parade of important leaders with their embarrassingly long titles, no matter who decided to adopt them. “darius and i were talking about you marrying us off over christmas, i’m sure that you’d just love to host the next royal wedding.” ( dcmvs )
