"Milady," Molly said curtsying to Anna as the smoke haired vampire sat doing her make up for the night. Across the room fire haired Sofia fixes her hair to be able to perch her hat on. "During the day Lord Butches was killed. There is be a gathering in the great hall tonight."<br/><br/>Anna nodded. "His death is of no great lose. If anything it was merely a power play. Was there anything else of importance? Any servants of important families to keep watch on?" Typical Anna. Straight to the point and no non-sense.<br/><br/>Sofia and the king are in the same boat. She doesn't like the new dress her mother had insisted she wear for tonight. It's scarlet, so it will hide fresh blood stains well. Poor Sofia can barely move in all her petty coats. And for some reason even though they'll be staying indoors a hat is also included in her outfit. The only good thing about tonight is that she might be able to talk to the princess again tonight.<br/><br/>Anna nudges her daughter towards the prince who she had just spotted. Taking the hint, Sofia appeared to float towards him. "Good evening your majesty. Will Princess Liliana be along shortly? She and I get along well last night." Simple yes or no questions so that he could answer without using his slate. Sofia thought about something that Molly had said during her report. "I heard it said that you have a spider from the Americas." A pause... "Might I see it sometime? During our travels in the New World I had the chance to see several large spiders." She doesn't want to start rambling.
