She was relieved that her words had been welcomed and approved by the people, a smile tugging at her lips. Time passed and the crowd began to die down. She turned as she was approached by the captain and the man who would be looking after her. She flashed a smile at the captain, attentive to his words as he spoke them. She then turned towards Sten, her smile growing. She had been right about him being the one assigned to her. "Hello, Sten. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. I hope that I will not be a burden to you."<br/><br/>She was indeed shorter than him, which wasn't unusual. Most of the women were shorter than the men. Her parents were a fine example of that. Her father had always been a tall and proud man. Although her mother was shorter than him, she never let it get to her. The royal couple was madly in love as well. Cecilia couldn't help but note that up close, Sten was more handsome than she had originally thought. She really hoped that she wasn't blushing too bad, as her cheeks felt warm.<br/><br/>"If you were chosen by my father, you must be quite skilled," She said, unable to help but compliment him. She really was a kind soul. She would indeed make for a fine ruler one day. Of course, her father would probably insist upon her finding someone to marry and help her rule. Her mother, on the other hand, didn't quite feel the same way, however, she knew a husband would be necessary to carry on the royal line.
