Cassandra blushed a little as her father bragged about her. That was King Lars for you. He was proud of both his children. Some monarchs might have only focused on their heir, but not her parents. They loved both her and James equally and was equally proud of them both. Both she and James loved their parents very much and the monarchs already adored Margaret. Once James had made his intentions clear to them, they had welcomed their soon to be daughter-in-law instantly into their family. Queen Ember told people she now had a son and two daughters. She someday hoped to have another son but Cassandra was busy with her charity work, so courting wasn't on her mind. Thankfully her parents didn't nag her too much about it. Although Cassandra assumed she wasn't hearing hints about it right now because of James' wedding and coronation. That had been the focus for the last few months. Once things settled down, then Queen Ember might bring it up again.<br/><br/>Cassandra smiled and took the glass that Arthur offered.<br/><br/>"Yes, thank you."<br/><br/>She replied and looked at her father.<br/><br/>"Father, Mother isn't feeling well. I think she would like to say good night to you before she heads to bed."<br/><br/>King Lars nodded his head.<br/><br/>"Yes, of course. It was good chatting with you all and it was nice to see you again, young Arthur."<br/><br/>King Lars told Arthur and his parents before he went to attend to the queen. The king and queen had a good marriage. They had married for love and their love for each other showed. The king would drop anything he was doing if his wife needed him. When Arthur said he wanted to learn about her charity work, the princess replied.<br/><br/>"What would you like to know?"<br/><br/>Cassandra was very passionate about it but she knew others didn't share her passion. Many times, especially in these social functions, people asked her about her work but only for making polite conversation. When she tried to talk about it, their eyes would glaze over in boredom. Cassandra quickly learned to gauge how interested someone was in her charity work before she went into too much detail about it.<br/><br/>((Characters do take on lives of their own. He might not be how you intended, but I like how he's turning out.))
