If they’d been younger, the news they’d be marrying a future queen would have resulted in a fit of some sort, likely them pouting about being the center of attention. They’d never much cared for it, liked that while they were important, they were still second important. It allowed them more freedom. But, as it were, they were a grown adult, and they didn’t pout anymore, thanks. Anyway, of what they’d heard about her, she didn’t seem so bad. It wasn’t much, nothing of substance, but no news was good news, right? If she’d been insufferable or rude or otherwise, they’d have heard about it.
They felt a little bit lost, seeking her out, and were sure a quiet look of relief was evident when she waved them over. “Hello.” Ugh, was that too formal? The language thing might also prove tricky. They knew the words, but the grammar and usage, sometimes, proved confusing. “It’s nice to finally meet you. Kamaria, right?” They reminded themself to keep their usual lilt out of the pronunciation, because apparently that wasn’t how it was said.
There wasn’t much hidden about the future Queen, her life had been an open book basically since conception and she’d never let that stop her from doing what she liked. It just so happened that the things she liked were good. She had been dedicated to wildlife preservation projects since she could talk, and had attempted to adopt every animal she could--especially ones she thought she could save. Some people acted as if she was wasting her time, but the true joy came in others who supported the causes she put out to do so much for. In fact her only hope was that she ended up married to someone who would also work to help support her endeavors.
“Kamaria.” she repeated, showing that they had said it in a proper way--though she’d grown up with her name said in many many ways. Her heart was racing, the spike of excited beating probably making her look crazy. Did she look crazy? “Hanne,” saying it out loud felt strange and suddenly she was a little more worried about a language barrier halting any hope of getting to know each other. “I’m excited to finally see you in person. The picture didn’t do you much justice.” Okay, now she had to seem crazy.
