A Caged Peacock Should Be Freed (Closed, ATTN: Kylarntia)

Postby Winian Islands » Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:59 am

Mayfair Academy, Port Caroline. The reception hall was being rented out by a charity helping children learn to read. Every year the charity held an annual fundraiser gala at Mayfair. Several important people were there, international as well as domestic. The sun was slowly dying down, and the lazy twinkle of chandeliers mingled with smooth jazz. The more daring guests took to the dance floor, while most were sitting back and sipping champagne, with the occasional cough or sneeze being met with a venomous glare.

Caroline sat at a central table, and though her parents were chatting away, she was eying a handsome man. She looked at him with intrigue and mystique, as if an angel had shot love into her. Her stare was interrupted by her mother. "What are you looking at?" Her mother asked. Caroline was then led away to a group of bankers and debs, and she lost sight of that gorgeous man.

That gorgeous man was Prince Samuél of Kylarnatia. He was the brother of the Empress, consort to the Tsar. He was a Grand Duke of Sardinia, which Kylarnatia had long ties to (OOC: Says in Factbook ;)). He was attending the gala as he loved to help in fundraisers, just like his sister. He saw the young girl leave. He went to follow - but was stopped by an elderly man.
"My young boy, I think you have a marvelous family you know..."
"Why thank you sir, but I just need too..."
"Ever since I was a young boy!...."
The old man continued to drown about how he had moved all the way around Kylarnatia, and then to Winian Islands in retirement. Prince Samuél sighed slightly as he watched the beautiful women drift away like a cloud.

Prince Samuél was dressed in the Empress Dragoon Uniform, as he was apart of the Kylarnatian Imperial Army. He wore three medals and the Silver Crest, which signalised his Prince Status. He had short black hair and had deep green eyes.

It was half an hour later when a dazed Caroline returned to her seat. The conversation was the usual, who was going to so and so's yacht, and who was wearing what to the next gala. It confused and frustrated her, like a caged peacock. And a caged peacock should be released into the wind....

Caroline, after re-evaluating to conversation, saw the man again. Feeling a pang of bravery, she brushed back her free hair, adjusted her pearl necklace, smoothed her red silk dress, and went over to the man.

Prince Samuél saw her come over, and happily left the old man as he had fallen asleep. Straightening his stance and breathing in heavily - he walked over to the beautifully dressed women.
"Dear, I must say you look divine this evening. I am Prince Samuél of Kylarnatia and Grand Duke of Sardinia - I am charmed to meet a beatiful women such as yourself miss...?"
Samuél bowed to the lady and took her hand and kissed her knuckle. He also waited for a response.

Caroline wanted to blush, but she held back her emotions and smiled, "Like a proper lady" her mother would say. And like a proper lady, she smiled softly, her light grey eyes sparkling. She began to speak. "Thank you for the compliment. My name is Caroline, Caroline Fallon, Countess of Bridgewater, and I am charmed as well." She said all of this with her gentle, mesmerizing voice.

Samuél smiled to her once more and gained a glint in his eye as he stood back up once more, looking into her eyes. He was raised to believe that taking your eyes away from a women as you were talking to her was rude - so he dared not. He kept his eyes relaxed though, so he did not create any discomfort.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Countess Caroline. May I just call you Caroline? Or would you prefer me to use your title?"
He asked her politely as he continued to look to her, even with all the noise around.
"You are free to just call me Samuél, or just Sam. I hope you are enjoying yourself this evening..."

Caroline was still holding back her blushes, but eased away as if she made a new friend. "You can call me Caroline, I would really prefer it." Then, she gingerly replied, "I don't see the use of these titles. All these people, from here, all either royals or aristocrats, especially the latter. They all pride themselves on knowing us, as if they're suddenly patricians." She pointed to a fair skinned girl in a purple satin dress and obviously dyed blonde hair. "She's my 'friend,' since we were three. But I loathe her, and she uses me as an excuse to be a pain to people. She's stuck up and rude." She steadily took a sip of her champagne.

Prince Samuél looked to the girl she was pointing at and nodded.
"I agree. I can already tell you are a women with a firery spirit. I agree that titles are outdated. My brother in law, Tsar Yuri Volte Hyuga, would agree with you. And what sort of friend is she if she uses you as an excuse? I would never use anyone like that. So...tell me about yourself? Whats your life been like, what do you enjoy?"
He smiled as he asked a passing waiter for the glass of White Wine he had on a tray. He took it and took a sip, still keeping his eyes on Caroline.

Caroline felt bewildered by this question, but still answered. "Well, I have had a nice enough life, with actual friends, fresh air, and a private tutor. I came to Mayfair to study literature, but currently we have two months off for the season. The season refers to when all the galas, luncheons, receptions, dinners, balls, and teas take place. But anyways, my interests are piano, ballroom dancing, writing, horseback, and sewing." She took another sip of her champagne.

Prince Samuél loved listened to her speak. Her voice sounded so sweet. He smiled as she finished.
"My that is an intresting life. I also love Dancing, and riding Horseback - being apart of the Empress Dragoons. I also love writing and piano and many other musical instruments. I don't necasseraly like doing sewing myself - as I don't have the hands for it - though I like some of the pieces people make. What sort of writing do you do?"

Caroline excused herself, walking over to the table and opening her soft red purse and grabbing a small journal. Coming back, she said, "These are all about nature. I like it because it's so peaceful. My favorite is one I wrote about a hummingbird." She showed it to Samuel, hoping it would make a good impression.

Samuél took the little journal and began to read through it. As he did his smile widened and his eyes glowed intreegingly.
"These are beautiful. And you are right to think the Hummingbird as your favourite - it is so vivid. Kylarnatia adores its wildlife, we invest eighteen percent of our budget in it - which is alot. I cannot remember the exact figures off the top of my head though. Have you published these? The public would truely adore them I can assure you - you'd become loved even more then you already are."
He gave her a slight laugh as he looked up to her again, closing the journal and passing it back to her in the condition it was given to him. He hadn't made a single mark or crease - he was very careful.

Caroline smiled softly at the statement and even more that not a single mark was made on the journal. She took her last sip of champagne-she got drunk easily- and set the flute on a table near them. "The soiree is almost over, would you care to come to our home, for a drink? It's not very far, and I'm sure my parents would be interested in you." She said this last remark a bit flirtatiously, and blushed, forgetting what her mother said.

Samuél came over to the table and stood with her, noticing the blush and giving her a slight raise of the eyebrow, with a slight grin - making it flirty.
"Indeed it is - I would love to come and have a drink with you at your house, and meet your parents, who must be a fine pair considering yourself..."
His grin widened as he took her hand and gave it a slight kiss on the knuckle like he did when he introduced himself, then let it go again gently.

Samuél nodded and waited by the table like she asked. He watched her talk to them. He wasn't able to read lips, though it was not really his absolute intention to do so. For the time he waited and watched with a slight smile, he thought of how beautiful and talanted she was, and how she just drifted innocently around, even when slightly drunk. He had never seen a women like her before, and he was happy.
