Sanguine bared his teeth faintly as the girl who introduced herself as Princess Juli when she accused him of “melodrama”. In dealings with life and death, freedom and enslavement; the drama was anything but mellow. Perhaps<em>Princess</em>Juli didn’t realize how high the stakes were for him, having never met the Theiri Queen it was entirely likely that he would be hanged the moment he made introduction, it seemed that Princess Juli would see him executed if the decision were hers.<br/><br/>San felt a small smile slip over his face as Lady Fool bargained on his behalf, it seemed that his words had gotten under her skin. The blind man nodded in thanks in the direction of the Fool’s voice as he made his way to the center of the large throne room. Once the guards released him, Sanguine bowed down low until his forehead touched the cold marble floor.<br/><br/>“Your Grace.” Sanguine said to the Queen as he bowed.<br/><br/>Though he had heard often about Queen Lyssa’s beauty, Sanguine had not expected her to smell so sweet. The Queen smelled of roses, lavender and honey. Her skin smelled of perfumes and lotions that must have cost a great deal.<br/><br/>“I apologize for not being permitted the opportunity to make my own introduction, but it seems I have gone from your guest to your prisoner on the course of my walk up to your chamber.” Sanguine said, his head still bowed to the floor. “I have come to scout the palace, so that the Aserit family may enter with confidence that they are not being led into a trap. Beyond that, I do have purposes of my own for desiring an audience with Your Grace. I beseech you humbly to please allow me to be unchained, I reiterate that I mean no harm to you, your staff or even your... daughter?”
