Her laughter floods the room followed by the little giggles and cheerful sounds of little Joffrey while Elinda tries hard to make him laugh, she doesn't mind having to take care of the little one, she is honored to be able to fulfill such an important task, what bothers her is your constant gaze on her, you are making her nervous, and more than that, you are not being dissimulated at all, and your smile, your damn smile makes her brain have a short circuit, while she read, but is constantly mistaken by your actions and can only try to ignore you, but that has always been impossible for her.

"At least hide it!, don't make it so obvious!"

Her mind turns around, she is getting a little anxious, even more so when the prince comes to pick up her brother, she can barely pronounce an audible "Your grace" and a small bow when the prince walks away, she stays silent moving away to a corner of the room pretending to clean something, while the room gradually becomes empty, she feels the presence of someone watching her, stalking, and she knows it's you, she knows perfectly well that it's you.

—"Stop looking at me like that, and less in public"

She complains, her tone with annoyance betraying her stress, but she doesn't look at you, she refuses to look into your eyes, her hands pretend to arrange the dishes of the previous banquet, she listens to your footsteps and sighs, why do you have to make life so difficult for her?, she has had enough of being trapped with someone noble, she doesn't want gossip to run through the castle between her and you, she wouldn't stand it, she knows that it's something temporary, that you're only looking for her for something temporary, she knows it, she repeats it to herself, and yet she begs for this not to be true. She doesn't hear a response from you, so she starts talking again with a higher tone without turning around, no, not yet.

—"Stop doing that"
