Luciano's entrance was met with a scowl, as the king examined Naboru's fingernails. She'd draped herself across his lap, really straddling was the more appropriate word, after a courtier with a low-cut gown had asked the king to attend brunch with her. He'd declined, the poor thing's favor was dashed when she noticeably worked too hard to catch his eye.
He shifted her, so that she straddled one knee, and took up less of his field of vision.
The other man wasn't a particular threat; but more of a pest at times. Not to mention the unriddled jealousy that occurred because Luci was allowed a normal childhood, and was not groomed for a particular role. A servant prepared another platter of drinks; presenting them first to the king and the woman in his lap. And then, finally, to the princeling.

I like this one, and this one,he murmured, kissing the tips of the fingers in question, that sported the approved shade.
Get rid of the others.A quiet order, but an order, nonetheless.

I could use another drink, to make my day a bit better.He spoke, offering his brother a thin smile.

What bring you to visit me, on such a chaotic day?He inquired, raising an eyebrow carefully. For the moment, the girl in his lap did not exist; she never did, when he was dealing with someone else or something else deemed more import.
