Aliana rushed to get ready for dinner after her afternoon with Tristan. She couldn't believe she actually slept with the Duke. Edith and Janie helped her change into a dark silver dress with a black fur-lined collar and hem. Her hair was braided into an updo held together with sparkling jeweled pins and a small silver crown was woven into her hair. They kept her makeup light and as they were putting on the final touches there was a knock at the door.
Aliana motioned for Janie to open it, she revealed Peter at the door. The princess frowned as she took in Peter's gleaming military dress suit and sighed inwardly. Aliana ignored him for a moment and grabbed her sword from beside her bed. She buckled her scabbard's belt around her waist and moved her sword so it was at her side. Aliana finally turned to acknowledge Peter, he was glaring at her intently.
"Good evening, Your Highness," Peter said stiffly.
