Felicia looked at Alucard in surprise. He loved her? How could he love her when they didn't really know each other? No offense to him, but the princess didn't return those feelings. Not yet, anyway. Maybe for him, it had been love at first sight. But that had no happened for the princess. She thought love should grow from friendship. Although it make her feel good that he defended her.<br/><br/>Thoughts of Alucard and his feelings, went to the back of her mind when she listened to Hayes.<br/><br/>"I'm not asking you to forgive him. All I ask if you don't judge me for what he did."<br/><br/>Felicia loved her father, but she wasn't going to order Hayes to share her feelings for the king. They had each seen different sides of him. She nodded her head when he said he couldn't really trust her. She didn't trust him either. Plus, it was stupid to blindly trust someone you just met. However, she was willing to give him a chance for Alucard's sake. This man was obviously some sort of friend to her intended and out of respect for him, Felicia would give him a chance.<br/><br/>She could certainly be civil to him. She had learned how to be civil around people since she was old enough to talk. She looked up at the taller Hayes.<br/><br/>"I don't expect anyone to think the sun revolves around me."<br/><br/>The sun certainly did not. Felicia might be royalty, but she didn't expect people to think she was a living goddess. She just wanted to be treated with the same respect she gave other people. She had a feeling it took a lot for Hayes to say what he had saw.<br/><br/>"I am willing to give you a chance too."<br/><br/>She gave Meredith a look that said it would be okay and reached out and shook Hayes' hand.
