sanaa was not fond of such large and lavish celebrations, the noise and tension was at times suffocating but she was adherent to her duties and so remained in the main room, absorbing the politics and honeyed words floating through the air just below the laughter and scents of fine food. there were still a few things she did not wish to complain about in regards to her new position and its complicated nature, one was the food and the second was the bed she was enjoying, the third was how often she was able to bathe now as she sat in the lap of luxury that surrounded the family she now served. but this ball was not something that brought delight to her face, and the pink gown she had been generously given to wear tonight to appear like a true lady was uncomfortable, the only security being the two knives strapped to her thigh. she spotted something curious as she played her role and made her way over to comment on it. "it shouldn't surprise me that you have slipped your guard, or perhaps they overindulged in the free flowing wine of the evening. whatever the reason i am still allowing myself to be both disappointed and somewhat conceited all at once." very few knew her true purpose, in fact she was almost certain it was limited to the queen herself, the princess she served and the prince before her, which was a testament to queen joanna's shrewd cleverness that sanaa so admired, the less who knew, the safer princess alyssa was. but it was satisfying to be able to get in an insult to prince drystans own guard, the only thing that could have been better was saying it to said guards face.
