Angelique bent in a low curtsey, nodding her head and smiling brightly at Ingrid.<br/><br/>“General, I hope you will forgive my rudeness earlier. I’m afraid I was out of sorts, it was not my intention to dismiss you so curtly.” She apologized to Alexei.<br/><br/>Turning to Ingrid, she smiled. “It is good to see you Princess, you look beautiful tonight.”  Smiling at Liz and Pavel, she blushed. “Thank you for your hospitality Your Highness, I do not wish to be a burden and will leave the premises as quickly as I am able.”<br/><br/>Her fingers on Yelkin’s arm finally relaxed now that the introductions were over, she just hoped she hadn’t embarrassed him. Looking up at Yelkin, her eyes softened, her lips curved in a smile.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
