blue blooded.

“I apologize, nonetheless,” she murmured, a soft smile on her lips. admittedly, it was a weaker one than her usual smiles. aurelia glanced at henryk when he spoke, before nodding. “my current issues involve the well-being of my king and daughter. i will not apologize for that,” she said, her eyes sparkling. aurelia was not mad, nor upset. she rather liked henryk; he reminded her of his father, aleks. “aye, harry,” she muttered, using the wall to help herself stand. “powinienem odpocząć.“

Nora’s trek to Bern had been intercepted by the messenger who informed her of the attack on the royals here.  While the man had said her brother was fine, she was not as keen to believe it until she had seen him with her own eyes.

Upon arrival, she didn’t hesitate, exiting her carriage, lady-in-waiting in tow, and entered.  Her first course of action was finding the nearest house servant she could and demanded to know where her brother’s chambers were.

“I will, of course, be thanking our host for his hospitality,” she said exasperated  that her lady would think she had forgotten,” Right now, the most important thing is finding my brother.”

They were turning a corner and she gave a pointed look at her companion to drive the point home.  She wasn’t going to argue this.  However, because she was paying more attention giving this look, she failed to watch the corner they were turning and almost walked blindly into the person turning from the other way at the same moment.

he may have often been found outdoors — for that was where he was most at peace — but libraries, especially grand ones such as the current one aleks found himself in, they were another sanctuary. he peered a certain title, the familiar name catching his eye and an ever so slight smirk bloomed on his face. within moments, aleks had pulled the book from the shelf, flipped it open to the back page — finding the very letter he was looking for. written by one of his spies, no doubt. he slipped the letter into his coat pocket, not even bothering to glance around. ( what was the point? the library was near dead. )

It was upon arrival at Bern that Irene learned of the events that preceded her.  A fire with several victims, the attack, the death of the Prussian King, was all news she had not expected to be welcomed with.  It was rather troubling, and the first thing she did was send word home of her safe arrival, as she was certain they would hear of the chaos and worry.

She was worried, herself, as she felt completely out of her element on her own and in such a tense environment.  Her brothers were to arrive behind her, but there was no telling how long they would be.  She was tempted to hide in her chambers until they came, but it would defeat the purpose of her coming here in the first place.

It was her first time stepping out since arriving and she stood outside her closed door a moment, psyching herself up to start looking for others she may know.  Footsteps from the opposite side of the hall broke her thoughts and she glanced over to see who was coming in her direction. 

“Hello,” she said as they approached.

Aurelia’s eyes fluttered open, before closing at the sudden brightness. Golden hair fanned out around her head and skirts laid prettily around her legs. Even collapsed, the blonde seemed perfect. She placed a hand over her clammy forehead. “M-My apologies…I seem to have fainted,” she murmured, not really remembering what happened before her fall. Aurelia was simply taking a stroll through one of the halls, wanting to have a better map of the place in her mind. Her cheeks flushed, embarrassed by her sudden spell. She avoided the eyes of the nearest person and attempted to sit up.

head had needed to be cleared and adelaide found herself most free whilst riding a horse. something her father had taught her how to do, and she had done often as a child — her own taste of freedom in a shielded and sheltered life. the princess had raced down to the stables as early as she could, and was out riding within one hour of awakening.

hands caressed the fur of her favourite horse, brought to bern with them, and she had ridden at full speed for as long as she could before the animal grew tired. she was nearing the palace again, with it in sight now, and slowed her pace considerably: yet she was surprised to hear somebody approach, and head turned, hair tucked carefully behind her ears. “you startled me.”

Being present in the Swiss court was a new experience to Henryk and spare time becoming almost unlimited compared to the extensive list of issues that occurred in his own country. It allowed him to focus on matters that would perhaps encourage his diplomacy — for whilst his outdoor activities might not seem essential, some preferred the freedom when speaking of such restrictive matters, rather than interactions in the confines of a room.
