As they were served their luxurious dinner, which consisted of filet mignon, stewed quail, roasted rosemary potatoes, and a delicious soup usually reserved for weddings, Luana looked to Ambrose with a grin. "You're going to have to get used to the food here, arent you? We don't have much American influence on our cuisine."

He nodded slightly. "But at the same time, I think this would be a nice thing to get used to..."

"I hope so. You'll be eating a lot of it from here on out." She, like the rest of them, waited for her father to start eating before they even picked up their forks. It was disrespectful to eat when the sovereign wasnt, so when the king was done eating, everyone else was as well.

He made sure to mimic her movements as best he could, trying desperately to avoid some sort of faux pas.

Luana made sure to put extra emphasis on each of her movements, knowing that he was probably watching her for an example of what to do and how to act. She kept her hand gently placed on top of his throughout dinner, and once the king had finished, she set her fork down.

Ambrose hurried to set his fork down as well, hastily finishing his last bite.

Luana gave him an encouraging smile as dinner came to an end and they were permitted to leave the dining room after the king had already done so. The royal bed chamber had already been set up for them, and it was expected that they would spend the rest of the night inside of it.

Ambrose sighed softly as they entered the room, then stretched. "Wow, that was so formal.... how do you bear it day after day?"

"I suppose you just get used to it, having to do it over and over... It is the hardest when you're a young child." She giggled quietly, sitting down to remove her jewels.

"Well... we don't have to be too formal if it's just the two of us, right?"

"Of course not. You can be yourself around me. You can be Ambrose Hart, Hollywood heart throb, and not the prince of a small country."

"....how about I'll just be Am. A person. Not a star, not a prince, just... just your partner in crime."

"Am?" She smiled softly. "I like the sound of that. Since I can remember, I've always been scared to marry someone who resembled barely anything human. Someone who was so proper and high class that they had forgotten how to feel or act naturally without the puppet strings of royalty pulling at them. It will be nice to know that I have an Am by my side." She stood after completely removing her jewels and veil, turning her back towards him. "Would you mind helping me get this dress off? I have a corset that is suffocating me."

He nodded gently and began to slowly unlace the back of the dress, then loosened the laces her corset once she had stepped out of the dress.

She exhaled and grinned, looking back at him. "Thank you. I can breathe again." As she removed her corset and took her curly hair down, she couldn't help but stare at the large diamond ring that had been placed on her finger. She stared at it, occasionally twisting it one way or the other. "So tell me about yourself, Am."

He removed his tuxedo jacket, vest, and began to unbutton his shirt. "Well... I'm from Omaha, Nebraska... I moved to Los Angeles five years ago when I lost my job after the stock market crash... decided it was now or never to chase my dreams of being an actor, you know?"

She nodded. "And from what I hear, you've had much success. I know that you've certainly captured the hearts of nearly every woman in this country."

"I've had more success abroad than in the states," he laughed softly.

"I see... Well, as long as you have success somewhere, right?" She sat beside the window, now dressed in only a nearly sheer slip.

He nodded and looked down at himself with a sad smile. "Yeah... I mean, I've been far more successful than I could've dreamed. I just wanted to support myself at first, you know?"

Luana nodded, smiled. "Well, you wont have to worry about that anymore. From here on out, most things will be taken care of for you." She leaned her head back and stared at the ceiling. "Welcome to royalty."

He nodded again as he continued to undress. "Please tell me I won't have to wear a tux every day, though..."

She laughed, "Oh, you dont have to worry about that. While your clothes will still be very nice looking, they wont be extremely formal unless we have an event to attend."

"Good," he chuckled softly, pointing to his neck, where a faint red mark was appearing. "I think that bowtie was supposed to strangle me or something....."

"That's nothing compared to having your ribs crushed into your gut by a corset." She chuckled, look up at him. "So. Where will the night take us?"

Post by Aurelia on Aug 23, 2018 11:50:03 GMT -5
He shook his head. "No, I imagine not.... and the night can take us wherever you want it to. In general, I'm open to whatever you'd like."

"Well, that's usually the way I like things." She stood and made her way over to him. "You do know what they expect us to do, dont you...?"

"Then, for royalty's sake, we should probably get on with it, don't you think?"
