[KaiserJacobII 1456]

Arnaud Halcourt turns to Henrietta @sondher, flashing a small smile. "Soon it shall be our hour," he hums. 

 

[sondher 797]

Henrietta von Preussens scanned over the missive with a saddened gaze, the complete contrast of demeanor that a soon-to-be bride should carry. She falsified a faint smile as she redirected her gaze to Arnaud @KaiserJacobII, the man she was betrothed to, "Indeed," She replied bluntly before she tucked the written announcement away.

 

[capiital 275]

The second eldest von Preussens surveys the missive with exuberant satisfaction, “Finally… I was frightened she was to marry that… weakling!” She’d mention before tossing the parchment aside on her bedside table.

[Nord 346]

Darius would scan over the missive for a brief moment, a brow lofting at the announcement in his hands before he'd toss the missive into the fireplace at his flank. The boy would then peer towards the Prince of Providencia for a brief moment, staring at the boy with a deadpan expression as he sipped on his orange juice; his lips then parted "Have another bottle?" He inquired, his lips forming into a faint smile as he stepped to sit into the adjacent seat, taking the extra bottle of orange juice he would then lift it toward the prince "Cheers" He exclaimed before taking a sip of the rich juice 

[Seva 624]

"A marriage for that little boy hm?" Orelia reclined in her Scholarium, sighing gently. "How time flies."

[DahStalker 3692]

With a less joyous reaction the youth pursed her lips, digits fidgeting at the edges of the sent missive. "Oh." She muttered meekly, uncertain as how to react. One emotion was certain for sure though: pity. But for what and for who? 

[scarahpot 385]

Anneliese Rose proudly looks at her nephew, "He is finally becoming a man."

[JaneJam 10]

Beatrice Halcourt smiled from ear-to-ear at the news of her twin's engagement. "I am so happy for you brother!" 

[Neno1974 15]

Adelaide Keen frowns, "You're marrying Arnold? Congratulations I guess..."

[ChirpySquire 48]

Vladrick Aurelian Novellen-Huntshill would be delivered a personal letter of it by bird from his friend, Henrietta Wilhelmine von Preussens. He would grin brightly as he read its contents. "So my friend is destined to be the consort of the heir of Halcourt. Congratulations, Henrietta."
