The three women fell speechless, staring at him curiously . He stood tall, ready for what he knew was to come . Afterall, the way he had been treated before the Matriarch came was still fresh in his mind, but at least it would get the off Kyera's case . What he didn't expect was the look in their eyes . . . almost greedy .
"I see, so lady Kyera married herself a Prince willing to step in when he feels his lady is being made uncomfortable . I am sorry, Lady Kyera . " Lilith tried to sooth his mood . However, despite trying to use her charms he slid his hands around Kyera's waist .
"My good lady, it is Princess Kyera . " Clovis corrected firmly . There was a sharpness to his voice that was honestly a bit of a shock .

"Oh, my apologies . I thought your father had stripped her of that title and you were seeking refuge here . " Rylee curtsied to show sincerity but there was a smirk curling her lips even as she spoke . Kyera tensed .
"Fortunately, if Kyera needed refuge, The Shadow Vale Emperor would be pleased to have us both . I had hoped to meet her family and understand a bit more of your lovely culture . However, it seems as though your insisting on being rude" he replies turning to guide his wife away from them . Kyera smiled softly kissing his cheek and laying her cheek on his shoulder .
"Thank you, honey . " Kyera smiled at him, it felt good to have someone to lean on around this family . She had always been on her own here since the boys deaths . Afterall, a guard speaking up for her only made the teasing worse and earned the guard a lashing . At least this way Clovis could back them down .
"No one bullies my mate, not even her family . " Clovis replied, his voice purring just a bit . Kyera felt her heart speed up at that sound . There was a new layer of comfort to that word that made her smile . Though, this had never been her plan, she felt at home at his side .
"Kyera Mei!" exclaimed a voice Kyera knew well . Looking up she saw a pretty red haired woman standing not far away . She was a more homely presence, plump with sweet pinky skin and laughing eyes . She was a absolute housewife goal . However, Kyera remembered the 10 year old child freckle faced outsider she use to run around with .
Letting go of Clovis she ran over and hugged her close . Clovis stared at his now empty arm at a loss then over at his heartless wife . "Clovis, this is my most awesome Aunt ever, Myla!" Kyera introduced and Clovis looked her over a bit surprised, but nodded respectfully . Princess Myla smiled, something warm and sunny like Kyera's own grin . He found her much more pleasant than those ice witches moments before .
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Prince Clovis . I am Myla, second heiress to the Matriarch Mother, and this is Ramsey my husband . " Myla introduced herself and her husband . Afterall, the titles of his land didn't quite fit into their own .
"I see, I am Prince Clovis of the Dancing wind . Fourth Prince to the Seasons Turning thrown . " Clovis smiled and nodded at her warmly . Her husband smiled seeming interesting .
"Your kingdom is very interesting, though its culture is difficult to navigate . " Ramsey offered taking an interest that Clovis hadn't expected . Kyera smiled recognizing a test when she saw one .
"I couldn't say I have noticed . I grew up with it, so it all seems simple . However, after marrying Kyera, I have realized there's alot for me to learn about outside cultures . " he replied honestly as the two men clasped hands and shook . Kyera and Myla grinned and took each other's hands now that the formality was over .
"Kyera have you been riding lately?" Myla asked and Kyera's eyes lit up . Not noticing this, Ramsey raised a brow .
