Overall the Kingdom loved their Princess. She was known for being a kind soul and not to mention she was rather easy on the eyes. Her speech was simple yet completely fulfilled its purpose. To Sten it was an obvious show of how much of the girl's father showed in her. He was a remarkable leader and genuinely cared for his people. As the crowd cheered for her speech Sten's expression softened for just a moment but quickly returned to stone seriousness.<br/><br/>After the crowd died down somewhat he spotted the signal from the Captain of the Guard motioning for Sten to make his way up to finally meet his charge in person. Sten moved with practiced grace but calculated moves as he walked up the few steps and turned to face the princess. "Your highness." The Captain began once she was ready to meet him. "This is your personal guard, Sten Dragonheart. He was hand selected by your father to guard and protect you during your royal duties."<br/><br/>"Your Highness." Sten said and gave a deep bow at the wait closing his eyes temporarily and only opening them once again when he had returned to his full height. Up close he could better see the Princess. She was quite beautiful and significantly shorter than Sten. He fair skin and green eyes were entrancing, but he refrained from staring and diverted his gaze respectfully.
