How affair starts

"Greetings to the crown princess." 

Inez curtsied politely after seeing Aries retrieve her hand from Curtis's head. When Aries told her to rise, she straightened her back and watched Aries saunter towards the small table inside this huge tent.

She gazed at Curtis for a moment. She heard about Curtis now under the crown princess' wing, but for her, he was nothing but a dog who was lucky to find a good owner. Therefore, she ignored him.

"Take a seat, Inez." Aries motioned her hand while dragging the chair before she sat down. "Gertrude, my servant, wasn't here to serve us tea. So, it might take time before I can serve you some tea."

"It's alright, Your Royal Highness. I simply came to wish you luck since this is your first hunting season." Inez offered a smile, clutching her skirt under the table as she sat down across from Aries. Her eyes lingered on the crown princess's jaw and then her slender neck.
