Princess Anaissa

[Delfos]

Delfos realised he was more uncomfortable with their hands together, he swept the room for the Queen's eyes. Almost secure that the Queen was watching, he pulled Sofia away from the room into an empty corridor.

Delfos: "Don't forget we can't be seen together. I want to have good relations with the Queen, OFC i want to have much greater relations with you. But just hold your horses realise you're married with Prince Ivan." He took a pause to think what the heck he would say after, would he say about Ivan's nature? Well she would soon find out anyway. "Ivan...likes men."

Sofia: "I was joking...really? How can you say?"

Delfos: "Please do not tell this to anyone, but our Ambassador in Takasia was sexually assaulted by Ivan during a visit. From time to time i see Ivan looking to guys with dreamy eyes. I think he's not very happy around here."

Sofia: "That would explain a few things...How could they marry me with an homosexual?"

Delfos: "Relations my dear...Although, if you want to keep appearances you just have to get gay servants so that Ivan gets pleased and you pass an imagine of a very happy couple. While...whenever you like, i could..." He wasn't sure if he should finish the sentence. He didn't want to give hope to the poor girl. He wasn't even sure if it is her what he wants. He was quite in-love...more to the situation itself than the girl. She was perfect to be his wife by the way. Pretty, great person, a monarch! Finally he could give what his mother asked for. But then again, she married Ivan. This was risky in all aspects.
"Please, I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused." Holds both her hands gives a kiss to one of them. "We should return to the party before people misses both of us. I will try to meet you tonight, I'm sure Ivan won't be interested in you."

[tak]

Ivan actually noticed Sophia was gone, and was glad that she was taken care of by Delfos. Seizing the moment, he instantly turned to Bayezid. As Bayezid approached, Bayezid and Jade introduced themselves to each other. Under the pretext of showing them around in the cathedral, Bayezid walked the two, while talking Jade into some adventure with them. They were finally brought to some obscure corner in the chapal Ivan just took his vow, and enjoyed some good time there.

Only after a while after Sophia and Delfos came back did they return, while Ivan still kept his Prince Charming look, Bayezid exhausted, and Jade with a look saying that "I couldn't believe I have done this."

[The Kingdom of Tagirstan]

Sophia:  "No he won't be interested at all."  "if my father knows he is gay I will kill him myself.  it is not fair they marry me to someone who can not love me back"  She stomps her foot.  "Call me if you can make it tonight I need to speak with my father."

Delfos:  "Please do not do that.  Your father is a Muslim right?  So he may be just a tad homophobic."

Sophia:  Shook her head "his older brother is gay my father has fought for gay rights in Tagirstan."

Delfos and Sophia returned to the party.  Ivan was still enthralled by Pio and did not seem to realize that Sophia had even left.

They talked for about another 10 mintues.  Then Sophia excused herself from the group and went to go find her father.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sophia found her father an mother dancing together.  They broke apart when they saw her approach them.

Tarih:  "Sophia dear what is wrong?"
Sophia:  "Ivan is well he is like uncle Peter and Bayezid."
Layla:  "You mean he is gay?"
Sophia:  "Yes"
Tarih:  He shook his head "How can you know?  Did he tell you himself?"
Sophia:  "No but Delfos to-
Layla:  "Ha he is in love with you of course he would say that."
Sophia:  "No mother he really is Bayezid bragged about sleeping with him.  Delfos said he sexually assaulted one of thereambassadorss to Takasia."
Tarih:  "Well we will keep this quite for now."
Sophia:  "I will not be somebody's beard!"

[Delfos]

ooc: I would keep the King and Queen thinking that he's not gay and make her go to nuptial night and try him out. Plus Delfos will get a bit angry if he founds Sofia told her parents about the ambassador. :p And just straighting Delfos' role on this issue, he doesn't care if Sofia is married to him, but sure would like to be lover of Sofia. He doesn't want any political/personal involvement against the King and Queen, he's not just monarchy of New Delfos, he's a diplomat. We cannot afford having conflict of interests due to stuff like this. But anyway...behind the curtains Delfos can do whatever Sofia wants... lol

OCC: Let's not go too extreme with Ivan's homosexuality...I don't like my characters being sexually assaulted.

Elis noticed Jade, he appear to be in a state of shock. Ivan was smiling at him. "Haha Pio, it was a little fun..." the prince murmur. The prince than proceed to the serving table. "I'll be back some drinks!" he shouted at Jade.

When the he sat down, Jade took the seat beside Elis.

"He kissed me..." he whisper to Elis.

"What?!?"

"Right in the mouth, with his tongue! He caught me by surprise...just came out of nowhere! There something wrong with that guy...!"

"Ahh, maybe its just his culture? These foreigners are known for their strange customs." Elis try hard to hold down her laughter.

"Commander, I think this guy's...gay..."

Elis gag. "Gay? He's marry to the princess, he can't be. Watch what you say, private."

"I swear...he kiss me! I push him away, and that other queer looking man was look at us...like it was normal!"

Ivan return back with the drinks. "I'm back, tequila or passion fruit Pio?" Jade lean away from Ivan.

"It's alright Prince Ivan, I'm good..."

"What's wrong? Something bothering you?"

"Uh no, can you excuse me and my lady? We have something private to converse about."

Jade motion Elis to get up. Noticing his uneasiness, she got up and walk with Jade out of the chapel and into the outside garden. They made sure that they were out of earshot from the perimeter guards.

"Now that we got away, let's talk about business."

"It's too quiet, the Night Lords should be making their next move by now."

"you want me to get your other stuff?"

"No, the Glocks should suffice for now."

"Okay, I'll be waiting outside in the car. Call me if something comes down." Jade handed her the leather satchel that he been carrying around with him. Inside, Elis's two Glock 17 were conceal inside.

"You don't want to talk abit more with Prince Ivan? He seems to like you."

"Watch it Commander..."

"Haha, alright. Stay in the car, and keep a eye out for me. I trust you to back me up when the time comes?"

"My MD is lock and loaded, I gotcha back."

"Don't let a Night Lord sneak up on you, okay? You'll lose more than your balls..."

[The Kingdom of Tagirstan]

ooc:  Ok my last post did not happen.

IC: Sophia was pacing around still very mad at what had happened to her.  Her cousin Bayezid approached her  "Sophia dear Ivan is...."  "I know" snapped Sophia.  "Well you be ok honey?"  Sophia looked at Bayezid and smilled "Yes.  Wait a minute you seem taller."  Bayezid blushed an pulled up his pants legs "I bought some new high heels for your weding."  Sophia softly chuckled.  Tarih walked up to his daughter "you should be with your husband right now."  Sophia looked at him and fought her desire to slap him for this.  "Yes your majesty I will see if Ivan has time for me."  She bowed tha stalked off leaving her father rather confused looking.

[tak]

Prince Ivan was chatting around with the guests, particularly the handsome looking ones. But he never forgot about Sophia - he was ready to act for throughout the event anyway. Seeing that Sophia was not busy with Delfos or her father now, he approached Sophia, who did not seem to follow the script right now.

[The Kingdom of Tagirstan]

Sophia was a little surprised that Ivan found her.  She quickly covered her surprise.  She grabbed his hand and smiled at him.  She leaned into him and whispered into his ear "I know your little secret."  The orchestra started playing a well known Tagirstani piece.  The newly married couple danced together.  Both Ivan and Sophia's breeding allowed them to seem to be at perfect ease with each other.

[Delfos]

Delfos was amased, how could this be. Prince Ivan seemed to be playing the same game as both he and Sofia were. Then he remembered the punch of Elis and thought «I gotta dance with that girl». He saw Elis with Jade, and tried to reach them.

Delfos: "Elis! I wanna ask you something. Sorry for the interruption. Could you not punch me this time and dance with me? I feel a bit uneasy dancing with someone else. Plus I'm interested. So, shall we dance? oh, unless you want to keep your conversation, i promise you that i bring Elis back in a moment."

[tak]

"I think I know yours too," whispered Ivan, while dancing with all the glamour. Sophia chuckled while Ivan continued," just make sure this wedding looks like how it is expected." They still looked perfect among guests, though Ivan, fully infromed by his cousin, noticed how tensed his wife has become.

[The Kingdom of Tagirstan]

Sophia looked at him "of course I will."  They danced a little more.  Sophia asked Ivan "does your uncle know about your intrest?  If so then why did he marry you to me?"

[tak]

"Ain't I good enough for you?" Ivan kept his cunning smile, "you don't want an international scandal, do you?"

[The Kingdom of Tagirstan]

"No I do not want an international scandal."  Sophia's calm relaxed face was starting to slip.  She nearly hissed "I would have preferred it if my husband liked girls though."  "All our uncle had to do was find somebody else who at least likes females."

[tak]

"With me as your hubby, you can even sleep with say, hm, a dolphin!" It wasn't the most considerate thing Ivan could have said, as he kissed the irritated bride...

OCC: Jade is waiting in the car outside.

"No, so piss off." Elis made sure that her voice wasn't too loud, just in case a guest caught her swearing at royalty.
Elis notice that Sophia and Ivan were talking enthusiastic. They look happy, maybe Ivan wasn't gay.

She turns back to Delfos. "Just tell me, what is it? You can forget about ever dancing with me."
