Léopold
Léopold saw his princess accept the Kings offer to dance, and was thus left off his metaphorical leash. It wasn't quite clear what this Kings intentions were, but he trusted his charge to not make any mistakes in dealing with the man, instead he must focus on his end of this little operation. When the two first prepared for this ball, they had mutually agreed to have a series of pictures taken through the night, each to show the Princess's ability to deal with the realms various subjects, all to present a picture that she was not some naive inexperienced thing to be controlled, but a politically aware women who could compromise and work side by side the rather egalitarian King. Eléonore desired that the public be able to see her gregarious and kind side, alleviate any potential fears really. Léopold had kept a good record of where everyone was, generally at least, and knew he should move quickly to begin with the propaganda campaign. Léopold calmly made his way through the ball room until he spotted the person he wished to speak to, as well as someone he did not expect. "This women works fast." He thought as he laid eyes upon Sartana, now coming into full view for both women to see.

Eléonore
"Any question you wish to ask of me Princess, you may. Understanding the tendencies and sufferings of your future subjects is important for any ruler, perhaps i can even give you some insight into the others here at the ball?" Eléonore smiled in response, "That would be most gracious of you." She said as she was taken to dance. She spotted her guard move to find a camera operator, he was proactive as always, she never intended the first of many pictures to be with a King who she did not plan to wed, but it couldn't hurt. As they began to move along the all room, Eléonore decided start soft with her questions, just to get a feel for her "opponent"
"So, tell me a little about your kingdom, it has a rather majestic name if I do say so myself. I take it you're not the King of the moon or something, after all the ship I arrived to this system with didn't detect anything meaningful beyond Earth. But thats neither here nor there, I was hoping to know what your relation to the frozen Forest is."
