The Princess threw the door open and glared down at him for what felt like years. 'What did you do to my guards?'

"Ma'am, they simply went on their lunch break." Esk replied calmly, keeping her head down.

Seluka was sitting at a large statue, watching it intently. It was the God of Death, King of the Dead Zone, Elric. "Excuse me, ma'am, but this man is a noble here to court you. He says his name is Isaac." Esk replied. "You'll have to forgive him, if you would be so kind as to do so." Sawtooth walked up next to Seluka and sat down with her. He also stared at the statue, unsure of what else he could do or what he should say.

Isaac took a deep breath, hearing what the maid said. "The guards were gone when I got here, the woman behind you said they are on break." He says, staring at her with patience after calming down. "I'm sorry for disturbing you...and I'm sorry for upsetting you. I wish I could have made a better impression on you but apparently not." Isaac nods with a bow.

She looked at him for a while longer, a smirk rose. 'I'll see you at the ball,' she said before closing the door.

Isaac took a deep breath and sighed out thankfully. "Well...at least she smiled a little at the end." Isaac thinks to himself thankfully.

A lot of people were becoming uncomfortable with the two Hybrids being there. There were murmurs amongst the regular Edenians, mostly racial slang or just rude comments in general.

Sawtooth ignored them, trying to push the offensive comments away from his mind. Don't focus on them. Sawtooth thought. Their words nothing but wastes of breath.

The statue was made from marble for the base, the rest being smoothed out stone.

Seluka got up, walking closer to the statue. she read a plaque that stated "Elric, King of the Dead Zone, God of Death." She seemed confused by the plaque. "Et shira, shira? Berol mov sin?" She asked Sawtooth if he knew anything but Elric.

She asked Sawtooth if he knew anything but Elric. "I know something." Sawtooth said before beginning. "Elric is the god of death, one who came along several thousand years ago and ended a war between the Edenians and another nation by slaying a majority of the enemy. Us Hybrids were on the Edenian side of the war, because it would have been worse if the other nation won. After the war ended, Elric left and this statue was made in his honor. To this day, it is believed that when anyone dies, Elric guides them to the afterlife." (I hope you don't mind what I wrote.)

The day droned on, descending into night. After nightfall, when the suitor party began, Emperor Decem had everyone silenced for dinner. "Friends, nobles, I am glad you could make it to this event. As you know, my daughter, Princess Edna, is being married; however, she has yet to choose a suitor. She's here, tonight, to see which of you is the best choice for a husband."

(I don't know what to do...) Sawtooth had stayed next to Seluka the whole day, answering questions she had but remaining silent otherwise.

"Well...now or never." Isaac thinks to himself. "Let's just hope I can get to her instead of having all these people surround her like a piece of meat." Isaac mentally groans a little. "Gods help me."

It was then the Princess entered the room. She looked around at everyone before graciously walking over to her feather's side.

"As beautiful as people say." Isaac mentally chuckles, smiling a little at seeing her and not have her glare at him for what happened a while ago.

She's gonna find her love tonight.What makes you say that?I am the Goddess of Love, I know these things.
"Dear, why don't you go mingle with your suitors? I'm sure you'll find someone to your liking." Emperor Decem said, drinking out of a goblet. "I'm sure the Noble visitor from Peyri would enjoy your company!"

Isaac was enjoying the food and drinks, but making sure not to drink alcohol in fear that he might drink too much and ruin it. "Got to keep a good image..." He thinks to himself, not wanting to be an idiot here.

She walked down though the crowd of suitors. She looked as if she moved without noticing any of them.

"Um...princess?" Isaac asks while while raising a hand and takes a step towards her. (Paladin says it's just us two having Isaac and the princess talk)

"Yes, and again I'm sorry about before." Isaac says nervously. "I hope your still not upset about that...but why did you grin before?" He asks, not really knowing what that meant even though she said 'see you at the party'.

'Why are you here... Isaac?' she asked as she helped herself to a drink from a nearby waiter.

"Yes my name is Isaac princess." He says with a nod. "But why are all these other nobles here? To see if they're lucky enough to marry someone as beautiful and smart as you." Isaac says with a smile. "At least, that's why I'm here. Other's might be here just to marry you for money and power because your a princess of these lands." He says while feeling subtle glares pointed at Isaac for saying that to the princess.

'By the fact that you haven't said what makes you a noble, I will take your world for it,' she said.

"What makes me a noble?" Isaac asks. "It's what I've done in life for the people that need it most is what made me a noble. In my country a simple poor man can become a noble with random act's of kindness, I made my status and fortune with the help of others and helping people that are...unfortunate to suffer a life of having nothing or no one to support them, whether it be money, food, or even family." He says honestly to a point.

"It is." He nods. "Helping the poor, helping the ones in need so they can get back on their feet and make their place in life is always a noble thing. All it takes is a simple random act of kindness." He says with a warm smile.

The tale of the Princess and Beggar, an Edenian classic. Of course, no one knew at the time that Isaac was a beggar. The Gods, however, were aware. They watched the pair closely.
A nobleman walked over, smiling to Princess Edna. "Ah, evening, Princess. I'm Lord Byron from Peyri. Your father speaks highly of you." He smiled to her.
