Let her go

You decide that perhaps attempting to seduce her might not be the best of decisions. "I appreciate the tour, Clara. Perhaps we'll see each other again tomorrow before the feast."

She nods gently and gives you a little smile, "I think I would like that, Your Majesty. Good Night" She gives you a little bow before turning and leaving.

For a moment, you watch her go before she turns the corner and you head into the guest room and begin to unpack. The room is quaint. It's far from the grand room that you have, but it's large and clean with a double bed and anything that you would need to stay there comfortably. It takes you a little while to make yourself at home, but after you're done you sit on the bed to contemplate the day's events. Princess Clara is quite the pretty girl, but she's also not very outspoken. You suspect she's the kind of girl that her father lets her be seen, but not heard. With that said, you also believe that Claudius cares about her deeply and would do much to protect her. At least, she seemed to imply as much during your quiet and brief discussions.

A pang of concern suddenly hits you as the gravity of the situation dawns on you. This is a huge decision. Whether you agree to marry Clara or not will have effects for year to come. On you, Itheria, Phebis...everyone. Perhaps you should go speak with someone to get some wisdom. Unfortunately, the only members of your inner circle here is Akina and Sir Garret.
