Liz smiled at her husband, the truth of what he said evident on her face.  It would be one of the hardest decisions she would ever face, but in the end her loyalty was with her husband no matter how much she cared for Alexei.  Her beautiful face was etched with admiration as she watched the man she loved speak so diplomatically with the young princess, the gentle grace he showed her made her heart swell with pride.<br/><br/>Once Pavel was done speaking with Ingrid, Liz moved forward a bit more placing her hand gently in the cook of her husband's arm and leaning slightly closer to him, finding comfort in his mere presence.  Her other hand came up to place on his arm with concern when she saw Ingrid falling, only to let out a sigh of relief when Alexei catch her before she connected with the floor.  Brown eyes glanced up at her husband, a twinkle of amusement shining in her eyes as she glanced from Alexei and Ingrid back to Pavel.  Leaning in close to whisper in his ear, she chuckled softly, "I think it's going well don't you?"
