<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px"> Bellamy smiled in amusement at Arabelle's ramblings. It was almost refreshing to be around someone who wasn't necessarily built for life at court. What a pair the two of them would make. He gave his head a little shake to dispel the thought and then stepped forward to reach for Arabelle's hand, as she was attempting to subtly hide behind her brother. He took it gently and raised it to press a gentle kiss to her knuckles, looking up at her through his lashes with a small smile. <br/>
<br/>
"I wasn't offended in the slightest. I'm happy to hear you find my country has lived up to its reputation, and I'm even happier to hear that I have as well." He laughed softly at his own joke, because he figured no one else would, and then straightened to turn his gaze back to prince Everett. "I completely understand your exhaustion. I tried to convince my father that this was unnecessary, but such are the ways of our Gaulian traditions. Or most of them anyway."<br/>
<br/>
"Bellamy, dear, that's enough," his mother chastised softly. That's how Queen Adela did most things; softly or with hesitation. She was currently flushed with embarrassment, likely because her husband was scowling at Bellamy with disdain. Bellamy winced. Both he and his mother would be suffering this sour mood for days. <br/>
<br/>
Bellamy cleared his throat and plastered on another smile, this one far less convincing. "Ah, of course, Mother. It appears it was my turn to ramble, but no more! Let me more formally introduce you to my family." He stepped to the side with a grand gesture at the cluster. "This, as you know, is my father - King Elroy of Gaule." He paused to allow his father his chance to bow and say his greetings. He got to the bowing part but not the greetings part. <br/>
<br/>
Bellamy fought to keep down a sigh and an exaggerated eye roll. His father gave the word "stoic" a whole new meaning. Bellamy personally thought he played up the whole berageled soldier schtick far too much, but gods forbid he ever actually say something to that effect. Bellamy covered for him by plowing on as though that were the plan all along. <br/>
<br/>
"This is my lovely mother, Queen Adela."<br/>
<br/>
"It's so nice to meet you. I'm sorry to hear about your arduous travels. I hope you will find the next few days restful before the festivities begin. And, please, if you need anything during your stay here, don't hesitate to ask." <br/>
<br/>
Bellamy smiled warmly and touched his mother's arm to thank her before moving on once again. He wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible so the Prince and Princess could rest. He gestured to his brother who was already wearing his winning travels. "This is Prince Bryant of Gaule, my younger brother, of course."<br/>
<br/>
Bryant came forward to clasp each of their hands and pull them in for a quick peck to each cheek, an odd meld of both cultures' customs. "It's so nice to meet the both of you. You are the loveliest pair of siblings I have ever laid eyes on. Princess Arabelle, you and my brother will make a winning pair."<br/>
<br/>
Bellamy huffed and nudged his brother away with a pointed look. No doubt he thought himself charming, but now was not the time. <br/>
