Luana chuckled. "They're just here to bring you your shoes and coat and anything else you'll need. Also to tidy up the room."

He nodded. "Oh.... a-all right, then..."

One of the young maids smiled to him politely, showing him a selection of nice dress shoes. "Which would you prefer today, sir?"
Luana grinned as she watched him, herself also picking out a pair of shoes and some sunglasses.

"Certainly, sir." She set the shoes on the ground and allowed him to step into them.
Luana was ready far sooner than he was, her maid already being accustomed to her preferences.

He stepped awkwardly into the shoes and tried not to make a face.

Luana watched him and couldn't help but giggle as she spoke to her maid about how many dresses to pack, what colors they should be, what style, what fabric. It was very apparent that she paid very close attention to how she dressed.

After the maids had left, he looked over to Luana and sighed. "It feels so wrong to have someone else doing up my shoelaces...."

"You'll get used to it." She smiled. "Of course, you could always request to have it done yourself."

"I think the second option sounds a bit more manageable," he chuckled.

"Yes, of course." She checked the time, sighing. "Well, I assume my parents are expecting us for tea before we leave. Shall we go see them?"

He nodded. "That sounds like a good plan."

"Then come along." She offered a hand to them. "I'm afraid mother isnt patient."

He gently took her hand and walked alongside her. "Thanks for being willing to help me along with this all..."

"I understand that a political marriage, especially one that involves royalty, isnt the easiest thing to grow accustomed to. Dont worry about it." She flashed him a smile before entering the lounge, where the king and queen were located. "Hello mother, papa."

The sickly king looked up to his daughter and her new husband with a gentle, affectionate smile. "Good day, Luana.... thank you for joining us for tea."

"Of course, papa. I wouldnt miss it for the world." She smiled as she sat and encouraged her husband to do the same.
Her mother gazed on at the two of them happily. "My, you really do make a handsome couple. I knew the moment I saw Sir Ambrose that he was the one for you."
"Yes, mother, thank you."

Ambrose sat next to her and stayed quiet, entirely uncomfortable with the situation.

The tea was brought in and served to each of them, Luana making sure to thank the servants. She took a sip, then smiled to her parents. "We are very excited to head for Scotland tonight."

The king nodded. "We will miss you for the next two months... but maybe there will be good news by the time you return? I would love to live long enough to welcome my first grandchild."
Ambrose's cheeks reddened. They were expecting a pregnancy so soon? Seriously? Wasn't that a lot of pressure?

Luana nodded and smiled. "I will be sure to give you that then, papa. Do not fret."

Ambrose blinked as he watched the king nod happily. Seriously? Was she just doing this all for her father? What about her own life? They were both still so young, had so much to experience....

"What about names for our inevitable royal baby?" The queen asked curiously. "Surely you must have names picked for them."
Luana shook her head bashfully. "We only just got married and shared a bed together. We havent gotten that far yet."

Ambrose sat there with a deer-in-the-headlights expression as the discussion continued around him.
"I should want to meet a little Michael... or perhaps a Lydia..." the king mused blissfully to himself.

"I am not opposed to either name." Luana said quickly, still smiling. "Although I have always wanted a little Princess Charlotte..."

"Oh, a tiny Charlotte..!" her father exclaimed, looking to his wife. "How enchanting... don't you think, dear?"

The queen chuckled and nodded, "Yes, that would be a fine name for a princess." She looked to Ambrose. "And how about you? Do you know any royal names?"

"I.... uh.... I'd have to think about it a bit...." he admitted sheepishly. "I suppose I didn't really expect..."

The Queen nodded, smiling. "I see. Well, I suppose you'll have nine months to think on it, right?"

The young man's cheeks flushed a deep red as he looked down at his lap sheepishly.
