Lowering her head a little now, as the King and Queen enjoyed a moment that made her smile.  Mara had always been good natured with a ready smile. Once she was a lady-in-waiting, her demeanour improved from even that contented sweetness. She had flourished in the castle and took to her duties with vigor.<br/><br/>Mara had admired the Queen and her beauty from the start and had already fancied her. The King, of course, had been admired as well and they had flirted a little. Mara was thrilled that the Queen had made this choice, it helped to ease any guilt she'd been feeling for the bold winks and sidelong glances to her husband.<br/><br/>The royal couple both seemed pleased and really, that was what made Mara the happiest. The lovely Clarisse favoured her with warm smile. "You are very kind, M'Lady. I am so glad you are pleased me with.  It has always been an honour to serve you in any way you might have wished." That was close to an admission that Mara had desired the Queen in a more sexual way during her service.
