Yes, Sir Abel had held himself well. She had been surprised too. It would be fun to tease him, it didn't look like he was tired of it easily and neither was she. When the talk turned to the fact that he may not be the one, she shrugged her shoulders. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“Well, then it is not him and I hope that whoever it is then, he has some humour too. About Lady Iris...”</span>, she probably had to give a little more background on that. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“You must know, we have some history with those form Levonshire. My father is full of hate for all of them for having lost a lot of men in the war with them. But we are a bit isolated, have Levonshire in the north and Eastshire in the east of us. I guess my father is looking for some ally to have one enemy of his back, when he goes after the other. That woul be at least how I think he ticks...”</span><br/><br/>Martine was pretty well aware that her father would not be very faithful in his alliances. But that was nothing she had to tell Lady Marina, neither she had to tell that to Iris.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“My fair assumption is, that my father offered Sir Abel an alliance, if Lady Iris gets married to Hector, my brother. Maybe Sir Abel didn't trust him enough to give his sister to Hector and my father offered me too for him. I guess it is likely as I have noticed the looks of Sir Abel. Which is fine for me, there are worser guys out there and Iris told me that her brother is ok, if he only wouldn't be so protective of her. But my brother is another story. He can be the nicest person on this world, but he hates the Delecroix. So I warned Iris off and it seemed like it troubled her a lot. Well, honestly, it would trouble me too...” </span></div>
