His gaze fell to her hand for a moment a small shiver rose up through his bones awakening them. But he paid little heed to such feelings instead he was more concerned about Orianthi. “Do not worry, you will not have to make such a sacrifice, if anyone is about to do so, it shall be me.” He added. He was the one responsible for arranging these talks and so he had no desire to send not just Orianthi but none of his children even Reynard just to appease his need for peace.<br/><br/>His eyes widened when he heard her refer to the gift, he had not mentioned that it was for the queen. But he tried his best to seem and act neutral. “It’s for the Thieri family no one in particular.” He quickly added. His daughter had a knack for figuring things out about him, some times more so than his wife. This was a blessing and a curse as well, especially when he had to do something which was for the good of the country, but defied his own beliefs.<br/><br/>He placed his own hand on top of hers. “You do not have to worry, everything will be alright.” He said, the gentle smile returning to his lips as his eyes for a moment ran over her dress. Which was very seductive indeed, he wondered where her fashion sense came from. He had to tear his eyes away from her, since the more he looked, he found himself with a brimming desire to gaze lower. He lightly pulled his hands away from his daughters, pretending to straighten his vest. “I do not want you anywhere outside the castle.” He said, thinking at least inside the castle she would be protected. He had no desire to get into a quarrel in regards to what little she wore to cover herself. “I hear that there is another princess around your age here, perhaps you both can spend some time together.” He suggested, not really trusting any man around his daughter, except for his sons. He knew there would come a point when he would have to let her roam freely, but till than he intended to protect her in his own way.<br/>
