Alessandra was surprised he had managed to give her a smile as he looked up. She expected a frown, or some sort of incomprahensive sentence of how he told her to leave him alone and get busy. Alessandra nodded slightly and stepped back out of the room in order to avoid getting scolded again for sticking to him. She sighed softly as she waited briefly for him to walk out. She followed closely behind to the dining room. She was quite sure that she was definitely doing what a handmaiden should do, not being extra annoying or clingy as he made her out to be. 

Alessandra gave Prince Adam a smile as they walked into the dining hall. A soft crismon color spread across her cheeks at his compliment. "[color=97228f]Thank you, Prince Adam.[/color]" She answered with a short bow. She was shocked to find Adrian staring at her with no shame, what shocked her more was that hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. Her cheeks heated up greatly even causing her eyes to tear up; She wouldn't deny she expected a compliment but received none of course. 

She was about to take her leave to let the brothers speak freely when Adrian admitted that he knew he wouldn't marry out of love, and it was definitely okay with him as it was for the benefit of the kingdom. Being raised to be her mother's second in command, and a housewife in the future, the only ray of hope for her was love. Spending her life slaving away to a man and their kids all for love. To have someone accept the absence of it was beyond her. 

"[color=97228f] That is sad news. Even more that you admit it.[/color]" She mumbled, but she was definitely not avoiding his gaze, but rather staring at him as she stood closer to Prince Adam. Yet again, she knew she slipped and spoke [i]unethically[/i] to the Crown Prince himself, but she, surprisingly, kept her gaze on his this time. He actually had the chance to love, and he didn't seem to care that he was giving it up. It annoyed her.
