Seeing them, she sighed quietly, it was time to leave youthful fantasies behind and feed the fish.
On the plus side, she’s not a single mother with Superman’s love child waiting at home.

She stopped for a moment, where had the tune he had hummed come from? Was it possible he had seen The Queen’s Consort?
Nah, the stereotypical male watches such only with female companionship. And Superman doesn’t have female companions, right?

Quote
Did … did Superman believe love could exist between himself and a Terran female?
Love. Professional caretaking. Same difference.

Quote
If so, was she to be that fortunate woman?
Maybe if she had squealed between rubbing rosewater into her body and choosing nightwear? Superman might have kind of crashed onto her bathroom floor in a botched landing.

Quote
Her mask was also lavender and silver, topped with orchid feathers.
Ah, a masquerade. Perfect for secret identities and dashing pirate princes.

Quote
Their makeup and hair were done in the very height of fashion, yet try as they might; none were as captivating and as beautiful as Princess Loysa
HANDMAIDENs: And we worked very hard to get that very effect.

His hair was curly and dark, but his eyes were different, deep pools of blue, the shade of which she had never seen before.
It’s from dripping a bit of blood into each eye from the slaves he has killed for sport. He believes it adds their power to his. He’s a bit of a nut job, that one.

Quote
She should be thrilled;
Yes, tonight she was to be sold to another royal house as a token of their treaty.

Quote
Suddenly she noticed the petite blonde woman, her face concealed by a golden mask with thin white ribbons trailing down the sides, standing closely - perhaps too closely - by his side.
Ooooh! Jealousy! clap

Quote
Her legs stiffened as she watched Ileana possessively take the crook of Kal’s arm, stand exquisitely on tiptoe and whisper in his ear. His face, despite the gray mask, normally so open and cheerful became serious and closed as tight as a fist.
Maybe she told him that the little princess would bear many fine children to her future husband?

Quote
High above the dancers’ heads, in the gallery, skilled musicians stuck up a lively waltz that was currently in fashion.

Quote
His soft lips barely swept her bare neck. An extremely risqué move which she hoped neither of her parents noticed. He whispered in her ear. “Ah such innocence is a treasure! Soon, Loysa, we shall share a ‘dance’ that your dance master could not teach.”

A tall man dressed from head to toe in black appeared at the top of the staircase at the height of the dance. With the athletic control of an expert swordsman, he stepped with effortless grace down the great carpeted staircase and moved smoothly through the crowd of courtiers, foreign dignitaries and busy servants.
Oh look, the masked pirate has arrived clap

Quote
Still tonight, for this one true time he would hold her in his arms publicly.

“Loysa, my friend, my love and my life, after tonight nothing between us will ever be the same again.” He murmured to himself.
So, kidnap her or just her jewelry?

Quote
Several people stepped back as the princess and her mysterious partner moved with an elegance unmatched by any other couple. It could not be argued that they made a strikingly attractive pair.
Alexi isn’t going to like this.

Quote
Patting her husband’s hand she said soothingly, “Oh Sam, the announcement has not been made yet. Please, leave Loysa alone and trust her instincts as you have always trusted mine.”
What’s the worst that could happen? King Samuel could suffer a stroke, the Princess could become Queen, and war could be declared between the nations, one that will end with Alexi shackled to a tree in front of a dragon grove?

Quote
She sighed, “Than I will place myself in Alexi’s hands and pray some portion of my heart will become his.”

It was all Loysa could do not to watch as Kaldar’s departure. Her heart breaking just a little more with each step he took ….
So, a nightmare?

Quote
Why was Kaldar dressed in black and wearing a mask when he danced with Loysa?
LOIS: huh

She needed a man who could deal on a regular basis with supermarkets, not super villains.
clap Has she seen the prices recently at Costmart?

Quote
And that left Clark. But not as some second-rate ‘consolation prize’, but as the ‘victor’, the only one who fulfilled all her needs, hopes and yes - dreams.
CLARK: [Linked Image] Needs? [Linked Image]

Quote
A half hour later after parking the Jeep, that wild energy still coursed through her. Eagerly she climbed up the metal stairs to his apartment. Just as she raised a hand to knock, Clark’s voice could be clearly heard through the glass door.
Uh-oh. Late night visits while Clark is engaged with a blonde are never a good idea. Hasn’t she learned *anything*?

Quote
This was so much worse than the dream could ever have been!
Only because her subconscious is less cruel than her imagination.

Quote
Not without a fight! Not until revealing how deeply she loved him. She stood up and went back to the door and began to pound so hard on the wood and glass door that the frame began to shake. “Clark Jerome Kent, open this door right now!”
