Cassandra sighed and sat down at her designated place as a moderately high-ranking lady. She looked up as the king's advisor spoke.
"For myself I hope everything good to the happy couple and I hope we all enjoy ourselves on this happy day when we are able to leave all the worries of tomorrow away from our lives and be happy for these moments..."
He bowed slightly and sat down. <i>Right,</i> thought Cassandra. <i>If I have my way, I won't have to go through courtly ceremonies anymore by the time he's king.</i> She waited for the royals to say grace, then reached for some bread, meat, fruits, and vegitables. She waited for a servant to pour her some refreshment, which she guessed to be some mulled wassail when she tasted it. She sighed as her eye landed on the newly betrothed couple. Oh well. Love was never really an important factor in her life. Well, romantic love, anyway. She looked around and observed many people from different lands, including some who looked as though they were from overseas. As usual, no eyes were on her, and that was just the way she liked it.

Thanks! Let's have a little interaction shall we?
Aisling was making her way inside when she bumped into a girl that looked to be around her age who had just been talking to an older man that Aisling presumed to be the girl's father. "I beg thy pardon! I do hope I didn't injure thee! Wilt thou forgive me?" she waited for the girl to reply.

Was he expected to stay for the feast? Menyar sighed and wondered irritably. He waited for the king and his son to sit, then toasted them as was appropriate. As the servants poured more wine into his glass, Menyar stroked the jeweled hilt of his dagger and pondered at the real reason he was here. His cold, piercing eyes fixed on Prince Philip. The young man seemed happy, relaxed as he joked with his lady bride. Tonight would be a night for celebration and feasting. Few guards would be making their rounds, and those who were would be half drunk. An assassination was not exactly included in the Emperor's orders, but he felt he could make do with the opportunity that was given to him.
A slow smile twisted his handsome features as he raised his glass to the Prince once more in a mock salute.

Cassandra laughed and said, "It is quite alright, lady," she said to the maiden who had just bumped into her. "I beg you, please, sit." She motioned to the seat next to her. Her sharp eyes caught the glint of a dagger handle and a smirk on a foreigner's face. She eyed him a moment longer.
"What is it, Cassandra?" asked her father.
"Nothing....'tis nothing..." she said. She would tell the royal guard that night.

Darius kept his eyes locked on Menyar as he raised his glass, Darius had heard of the man and what he heard wasn`t good. Darius drank some of his wine, but didn`t move his sigh and kept inspecting the man for a while. Darius would be on his guard because of the man, but didn`t really think there could happen anything. What kind of a man would do something horrific during a wedding?

"I thank thee! But I must beg a place for my brother as well. Here he is now." Aisling said gratefully, then turning to beckon Timothy to her side she introduced herself and her brother
"I am Lady Aisling of Gavenshire at thy service. And this is my older brother Timothy. We are here to celebrate our cousin's betrothal." She smiled at her brother who bowed to the girl and they both waited for her to tell them her name.

[Curunír: It's a betrothal.]
Cassandra smiled at the lady and her brother Timothy, and inclined her head as Timothy bowed to her. "I am Lady Cassandra of Grenwood, if you have heard of it. But please," she said quietly, leaning toward them, "When we are not at in public at Court, call me Cassandra."

Menyar sensed two pairs of eyes watching him. He turned to the maiden and her father and offered them a disarming smile. That smile was known to bring many a fair wench down to her knees. There was another man as well whom he recognized as some advisor or another to the king. He averted his gaze and took a bite of his food. He would have to watch out for the latter.

Cassandra ignored the man's smile, being very resistant to charm that seduced many common ladies. She allowed Aisling to sit beside her at the table.

"I thank thee again Lady Cassandra." then to her brother she said "Cassandra has offered us seats here."
"Ah, then we shall graciously accept shan't we" replied Timothy throwing an admiring smile at Cassandra. Timothy was a handsome, strapping young man of 19 years. He adored his sister and they were as close as could be. He held the chair next to Cassandra for his sister, then took the seat on Aisling's other side. They seated themselves quickly as not to be a disturbance. They joined in the toasting and began to eat.
Timothy looked around the room and caught the smile that a foreign looking man gave Cassandra.. then he noticed that the man was fingering a dagger. That was odd, so he commented to his sister quietly "These celebrations may not be pleasing to all. We must be wary."
"What is thy meaning brother?"
"I shall explain all to thee later. For now enjoy thyself." Satisfied Aisling turned to Cassandra and asked "Dost thou know Philip or his bride to be Eleanor?"

Cassandra smiled and nodded graciously. "As a matter of fact, yes. I grew up with both Philip and Elizabeth, we were all childhood friends. But of course, as we matured, we had to obey our duties....now we hardly see eachother..." she looked up and smiled politely, noticing Timothy looking at her.

Out of the corner of his eye Menyar saw the girl joined by another lovely young woman and her brother. They eyed him warily for a moment, then resumed their conversation. Concluding that he was attracting too much attention here, Menyar politely excused himself and began making his way out to the palace courtyard.
He was stopped by a round, jaunty man of about middle years. "Come now, don't leave so soon! Aren't you pleased with the feast? My name is Duke Ramnd. Who might you be?"
Menyar pursed his lips but bowed courteously nonetheless. "I am not comfortable in crowds," he murmured, assuming a blank face and not answering the man's question. "I was planning to go out on a walk in the gardens."
"An ambassador from the Dominion shan't go alone, now can he?" Ramnd boomed. He clapped an arm around Menyar's shoulder and cheerily steered him outside.

Elizabeth sat next to her brother, and she looked toward where Cassandra and her cousins sat. A smile graced her lips as she watched them, before turning back to Philip and Eleanor.

Cassandra briefly caught Elizabeth's eye and nodded toward her. A servant came and offered her some cheese, but she waved her hand and passed.

After she had finished eating, she excused herself, and stood up, before walking to Cassandra.

Cassandra quickly stood and extended her hand to greet the Princess Elizabeth. "My lady," she said.
