Varus heard the words of Ellanore yet there was no gratitude to them. She thanked him. Yet it only continued to feel like he was insulting her. Everything he had done took effort on his part. "Ellanore. You know you are a princess. Showering you with gifts is something that you should expect from the man that is to marry you. After all. Your father did the same thing. I figured it would not be an insult to you or your family if I did it as well."<br/><br/>Varus took Ellanore's hand and turned her in his direction. Leaning down to kiss her lips before saying "Come,princess. I would have you lead me upstairs. Perhaps show me the necklace around your neck without the looking company to our back and your handmaiden feeling a need to involve herself in matters that do not involve her."
