With the knock at the door, he frowned slightly, and his body tensed, there should be guards on either side of the door, so that they could announce whoever was seeking audiance with the princess.  Besides, he enjoyed moments when he was with her, when she let her guard down for him, and he enjoyed being able to guide her and direct her, and he liked both her beauty and her temper.. though he had gone to certain lengths, with her uncles permission, to teach her to control her temper better.<br/><br/>"Who seeks entrance into her Highness chambers?"  His tone was soft, but he had shifted so that he was between the princess and the door, and anyone with an ability to feel magic would feel his gathering around him.  Only the princess however, sense he was right in front of her, would see the the throwing knife that was suddenly in his hand.  He could use his magic to cut, with the hand of knives, but that required someone to be close, or to draw his sword, and there were other magics that he could use this way.
