Lady Alastair chuckled lightly, saying, "I'm sorry, princess. I seem to have opened a can of worms. Is it a sore point between you and your father?"

Meanwhile, when the King talked about Prince Eldred being to her liking, the latter blushed deeply, mortified, but parried deftly, saying, "My brother woukd most likely be more to your liking, I'm afraid. I don't want to settle down for a long while. I'm considering joining the Adamantine Order, one day, perhaps. It's quite the adventure, I'm told." He liked the Princess, indeed, but he understood the gravitas of what King Marane was proposing.

"I'm sure she will find a most suitable husband." Lady Alastaur said, shooting a brief look at Eldred.

The servants placed the starters in front of the royals and nobles at the table. It was a small dish. Shrimp from the bay, on small cubes of ice and on the side a red sauce.

"I love this shrimp." The King said. "Freshly caught just this morning. Nothing better."

Eldred sampled the dish. "Indeed it is, your grace. It is only a rare treat in Camlorn to get such fine Wayrest shrimps. We generally feed on land animals, not such fine sea creatures, though the Camlorn harbour has a plentiful supply of sea bass. Our Master Chef Roland Gassteur's signature dish braise a la bass is praised around the region, though I'm certain your food here ranks among his own best works."
