Just like her parents, the princess had followed in their footsteps, performing for the crowded tavern as if she belonged there. Though the alcohol imbued and mood of the young woman had her flaunting, exaggerating her turns and articulation of the songs rebellious nature.
She caught Alfred’s entrance during a turn, ignoring him until the song ended. The bard would draw the princess into his side, briefly muttering into her ear before Adaria pulled away.
