After the Empress stood and offered her hand to the prince he quickly complied. His armored hand gently resting on top of hers as she spoke to him and the crowd of people. The food brought out was from every corner of the world and was very appetizing to the prince, who had not eaten since his arrival on the planet. "<strong>Thank you my Nei, it looks very appetizing</strong>" The prince confirmed, also adding a hint of subservience in his speech using 'Nei' in his words. The first time he had used them. Once everyone started to enjoy the meal, Vakarius released the Nei's hand as she returned to her throne. The prince walked down towards the food and quickly began to sample the food.<br/><br/>He also quickly began to become a favorite conversation piece amongst the nobles gathered. No one other than the Nei or most likely the Nesstern diplomat had ever actually seen a royal from the Nesstern. Even while he was eating he was bombarded with questions about his past and the planet of the Nesstern. Using his political, and conversational techniques taught from an early age. He was able to both answer the questions with clarity and be able to make the crowd laugh a few times with his stories of his past.<br/><br/>He saw the Empress whisper something into the guards ear but paid no attention to it. If they had wanted to assassinate him, they would have done so already and be done with it. He did not gather that this was a secretive planet full of subterfuge but a planet with honor and dignity. Wither this was a ruse or not remained to be seen. So for the time being he continued his stories of his childhood and more recent exploits in the stars. Which greatly interested those around him. Since many had not seen a world outside of Takrin.
