Fucking hell that cold blood Lucius. I don't think I'm ready to have Devon devolve into an emotionless killing machine THAT quick. He needs experience and hardening first. ;..;
He smiled to her, glad that she was happy with the situation. Well, not the situation at hand, but their upcoming marriage. The only thing that stood in front of that was the assassin, and she would be dealt with soon enough. All that was left was planning the celebration itself. And, given that it was going to be a small affair, not even that would require much. A thought suddenly zipped through his mind.

"What about entertainment Ella? You can't expect us to go through our wedding without some kind of music. Or perhaps some other skilled man? I've heard of many who can put on quite an entertaining show." He looked around the room they were in, before his eyes settled on the guard, a low smile coming over his face.

"You there, what's your name?" The guard looked back to him, suddenly surprised that he had been addressed by the prince. Afterall, he did seem to be wrapped up in his fiance...

"Adame, my lord..." He stammered out a reply, looking much more on attention now, though he didn't do anything to separate the man from his fiance. Afterall, she did seem harmless enough, and Marken had come out unscathed when he left.

Markens smile widened just a tad. "Oh nothing. I was just thinking about having a loyal soldier as a guard at my wedding. I imagine it'll be grander than anything you have planned?" He let the words sit in the air for a moment, before looking back to Ella. Why he did something like that, and to one soldier out of a hundred, he had no idea honestly, but he supposed that doing something to help brighten someone else's day wasn't all that bad.
I'll get a post up sometime today, but not right now. Helping grandparents move some stuff.
He smiled and shook his head. Not in denial, of course, but the sheer simplicity of what she asked. Yes, chocolate could be expensive, but given his position in the kingdom, it wasn't like his wedding would be void of things they wanted, no, not even close. Even if it wasn't to be an extravagant event, it would still have plenty of luxury for them.

"That can certainly be arranged Ella. And it is an import, yes, but it's cheaper than you think. Well, atleast to the royal family atleast. The amount of gifts we receive, just to keep people in our good graces. It'll be a sweet chocolate cake, yes, I think we can manage that very well." He would reach his arm out through the bars to wrap around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him as he rested the side of his head against hers. Marken could easily see himself falling asleep in this position, if allowed.
Marken shrugged at her question, instead offering a smile. "If my father or anyone else needs something from me, they'll almost certainly know where to fetch me. I truly have nothing better to do with my time right now, my little princess. I already spent all day with you as it was before, what makes you think that'll change now? Because I'm less comfortable?"

He gave her a look that clearly implied that he thought that was a ridiculous notion, before returning to his smile. "I'm still capable of sharing my day with you, even if I can't share my nights, though I'm sure there's someone who would be delighted to know that little detail." He thought to the governess and let out a sigh, at how she treated Ella because she wasn't direct royalty. Such attitudes were something he didn't care for, certainly not from someone who would be tending to him personally.

"So, what flavor of cake would you like? We must pick something for our wedding cake, afterall." He smiled at her again, detracting the topic from the situation at hand to someone almost certainly more preferable. It wasn't very subtle, but it was effective.
Marken hadn't shown a reaction, aside from an annoyed look coming to his face, when the guard had interrupted them. He turned around, his mouth opening to speak to the man, though not in a harsh way. Not like how Ella responded to him. Afterall, he was just trying to do his job, it wasn't like he had forced them apart. Clearly, he was scared enough to address two members of royalty like that as it was, the last thing Marken was going to do was reprimand him for doing what he was paid to do.

He looked back to Ella after her outburst, and the guard had left. He chuckled softly at her, his lips curling up into a slight smile. "You know, he was just doing his job. No need to sound so harsh. It's not like we pay him to do anything else." Before he could say anything else, however, Ella had wrapped their lips together, something Marken couldn't help but push himself into. His own hands reached out to her again, sliding over her cheeks and wrapping into her hair.

As they broke apart, Marken couldn't help but smile at her again. "Though I suppose doing things like that is best for a private room." He sat down on the floor, deciding that if he was to be here for quite some time, he would be comfortable atleast.

"I'll come for you soon, my sweet Princess. As soon as I can." He played along with the little act, though refrained from calling her the name she had given herself. It was clear she didn't enjoy it, from what she had told him. "I'll get you out of here and then we can relax in my room, share a glass of wine. I'll even make sure it's something stronger than desert wine, just for you." He'd give her another smile, closing his eyes to just enjoy the moment.
A note that says "Stay the fuck away"?
"I think we could do that. Something small for us. The public will want a public ceremony, but it wouldn't last long. It is our wedding afterall, not theirs." He gave her a smile as he leaned his head down to look at Ella. "I really am sorry for my fathers treatment of you. I don't know what's gotten into him. I suppose he's just paranoid after the earlier assassination attempt, but honestly, could you blame him for that?"

He still didn't support Glenns actions, not by a long shot, but Marken could certainly sympathize with the man on that regard. He had come so close to losing his mother, of course he would be a tad suspicious of another girl who had been blackmailed by the assassin. Of course, Glenn didn't know the entire story either, and how close Ella had come to killing him. Still, he had full faith in Ella now, that she wouldn't try anything. If she truly intended to, why would she tell him about it?

"I think I'll have a comfy pillow and a soft blanket brought down for you, to make sure you stay comfortable." He slipped off the stool to be closer to Ella, leaning his head against the same bar she had her cheek pressed against. "Just a few days, then we can walk down the aisle, say our vows..." He stopped there, his eyes going wide. He had vows to say? That certainly took him by surprise. Recovering quickly, Marken chuckled softly. "Let's just hope we don't embarrass ourselves too much with this." He gave her a wide smile, reaching out to stroke her cheek.
I'm gonna wait until the comm tower is blown before I post. It's literally up to Gravity to post, really. :/
"No, you won't. I won't let you go through all of that. My father may be... Harsh, at times, his men wouldn't follow orders to torture someone who has done no wrong, not when their prince is arguing for them. Besides, it helps that he truly has no reason to torture you." He brought her hand up to his cheek and rubbed it against it, giving her another smile.

"So, I've been thinking about our wedding in the future. Do you want it to be a large event?" Marken was talking to her as if nothing was wrong. As if there wasn't a large set of iron bars separating them. It would make it that much harder to tear himself away when the day ended, and Marken had to go to bed without her. He really couldn't imagine it, being forced to go to sleep without her. He doubted it would be a sound sleep, though it wouldn't necessarily be a terrible one either. It just wouldn't be restful without Ella at his side.
