Evangeline turned herself around and looked down at the dress she was wearing. Hearing Azrael compliment her in such a forward manner almost made her blush, but she wasn't about to do that in front of him. The princess moved some of her dark hair from her eyes and stared off into the distance. At first it seemed like she was staring at the vampire, but she was actually just staring at one of the castle walls behind him. Those castle walls were the things that were stopping her from getting out of this place for good. Although she might not openly admit that she constantly thought about running away, it was always in the back of her mind. Getting away from here, having a new life somewhere, it all sounded very appealing to her. Unfortunately the girl knew that she'd never be escaping the castle walls for good. She had duties as a princess, those duties were to marry someone, have lots of children and leave heirs for her kingdom when she died. It was all a little bit morbid, and Evangeline didn't like the sound of that lifestyle at all.

Suddenly, she was snapped out of her thoughts and she looked up at Azrael. He was offering her his arm. [i]"Umm....a-alright.."[/i] she stuttered awkwardly, taking his arm with both of her hands, keeping herself close to him in case they were approached by someone she didn't want to speak to.[i]"I'll do anything if it means that I can get away from those old men...It's disgusting, to think I have to marry one of those and fake being happy for the rest of my miserable life..."[/i] Evangeline trailed off as they started to walk away from the men. When they were out of sight, she moved to rest her head against his shoulder. The princess felt like she was able to trust Azrael, even though she probably shouldn't be feeling like that. Vampires were dangerous creatures, right? Evangeline had always seen them as heartless and emotionless creatures that fed on humans and lived in the darkness, but she was honestly glad that she seemed to be wrong about some of the stereotypes.

[i]"If I asked you to help me escape from here forever, would you consider it?"[/i] the girl asked curiously, letting go of his arm and walking on her own for the moment. [i]"I understand that it sounds really silly...a princess wanting to leave the lap of luxury and live like a commoner...b-but..this life I lead is so lonely."[/i] Evangeline started to distance herself from Azrael and she started to play with some strands of her long black hair. The girl stood there in silence for a few moments, keeping her back to her friend for the time being.
[i]"What if my mother and father pick you out of the other suitors, what happens then?"[/i] Evangeline asked, turning around and facing Azrael again. The girl was full of questions and curiosity, but she couldn't help it. She'd never met an actual vampire before, so she was naturally interested in learning what they were all about.[i]"I mean, I don't think it's going to happen, but you never know, right? ...What are we going to do? My parents would never be silly enough to marry me off to a commoner, but...I suppose vampires have the ability to toy with people's minds, don't they?"[/i] Evangeline flicked some of her hair over her shoulders and she tilted her head to the side, wondering what his response would be.
