In reply to Her Majesty (msg # 29):
Gisela can't help the smirk that crosses her face as Reese laughs. Luckily, she's facing Isla and Jack rather than Reese, so only they get to see it before she schools her expression into one far more appropriate for dealing with a ranking noble. She shifts to stand in a way she can see everyone before continuing. "Isla, this is Reese, son of King Adam and Queen Belle." She doesn't bother with last names, as she isn't sure how much nobility names they had, but hopes that they could pick out who Belle would relate to. As they've been told that titles don't matter her, she doesn't include the 'Prince' before Reese. "Reese, these are my friends, Isla and Jack." Okay, so maybe they aren't all friends, but better a united show for the Islanders than anything divisive.
"And yes, I did. If he insists on taking my title, I shall make full use of it." She sincerely hopes that Lex is right, that she can delay and even prevent Emeric from taking the throne. She'd die before he was her king. Not that she expects to live long here on the mainland, especially as she intends to be making waves and her family hates her, but still means little to her for now.
"However, if you've heard that, you must have been listening in. And may I ask how long you've been eavesdropping?" She is less concerned about manners, or lack thereof in this case, and more so that he might tip off Her Royal Highness before the call can be made.
