Prince was pleased when they finally got underway, tired of how long it was taking Snow to prepare. She always seemed to waste so much time before the mirror, primping and telling herself how fair she was. Truly she was lovely and that was one of the reasons that he loved her, but sometimes she just wasted too much time with her looks. Honestly he would be fine if she just threw on a little something and they left but no, she had to sit before the mirror, complaining about something else every time she looked in the mirror and applying far too much attention to herself to his liking.<br/><br/>She had thrown such a fit over his comment about not caring if she looked like an old lady so long as they made it on time he had decided that it was best to not ride in the carriage with her. It wasn’t just to avoid listening to her rant and pout but he needed the alone time to clear his mind so that he could get focused. True this was just some ball and he had been to tons of those, but this was also a meeting of the princes and he needed to be at his best if he wanted to represent his kingdom and station properly before the rest of them, especially since the relations that were made here could help in keeping peace between all the kingdoms down the rode.<br/><br/>His horse trotted down the road before the carriage, his eyes focused on the road before him. As they rounded the next bend in the road he could see the castle before him. Habits kicked in and he found himself scrutinizing the castle, its layout and the surrounding countryside as his father had always taught him to do. He knew his main goal here was peace but it was always good to be prepared for the future. Shaking the thoughts from his head, he rode out the last mile or so before stopping before the grand steps, noticing the various other royalty that had arrived before them, truly hoping that they were not the last.<br/>
