Xavier shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "I'm sure she knows what she's getting herself into. I mean, she'll be eighteen soon, if she isn't already - I can never tell with you Scandinavian people, there's too many of you to begin with." His smile stayed on his face, an easy smile that you saw whenever he was speaking to really good friends. Nowadays, people approached him that he'd never seen or heard about before, and some even tried to convince him they were best friends. Xavier knew this was because the impending doom of his coronation was looming ever closer, and everyone wanted a piece of him, pulling him in a thousand different directions because all they wanted was to worry about themselves. It wasn't like he needed any of it, all he needed was peace, but there was a difference in peace for a commoner and peace for him. Sigh.
"I know what you mean though. Even last year, it was all about drama for these girls." While the Kings worked on strengthening unity between them, and their bonds, the Queens seemed to thrive on backstabbing and bitching each other out. Of course there were girls who could get beyond that, like Annalie who dropped out in the end, and some others, but generally speaking Xavier hadn't been too thrilled with that group either, despite the fact that not one but two of his cousins had been in it. Luckily for him, his twin sister had thought them silly and didn't even try to join. On the other hand, Lunara was going to be a handful. "What more can I say? Luna seems to like them. I have a feeling that, besides me, she'll be the only other German in the clichés." He shrugged his shoulders lightly.
About being serious, Xavier just rolled his eyes. "Don't even start me on that. My dad is just about all set to step down - which is scary. But it also means I have to do a lot more work than I usually did, and I've already been all over the globe, more or less, no joke there. But you'd know, you do the same thing yourself." Goes to show they would make good rulers someday, or at least he knew Dario would be one - for his part, Xavier could only hope. Of course he would always have Pirzi to tell him to get back in line or smack him over the back of his head when he got too arrogant. That, and he was definitely hoping for Bella to be there to keep him in check as well. It was way too soon to say anything though, so he would just be keeping those particular thoughts to himself before they ran away from him, leaving him behind.
At Dario's question, Xavier knew this was the easiest inquisition he'd have to live through. Tarti would definitely be the hardest. He smiled. "It all started, I suspect, a lot earlier than it actually happened. I was a jealous man during the Rose ball, and I can admit to myself I did what I did because I wanted Bella, not only because I wanted her to know the truth. That was a big factor too." That someone would lie to her when she explicitly hated lies was beyond him. He'd been honest with her from the very start, when he'd told her, on their first meeting, that she should wear skirts more often. "Things sort of clicked during the masquerade in Spain though. I'm still hiding from Dante about the tango deal; Bella said he idolises her as the good girl who doesn't even know about the dance." He laughed lightly, easily. It was so easy. "Then we kissed, away from the others, and I asked her to be my girlfriend. Now, I'm anticipating a lot of flying back and forth and a Spanish inquisition from Pirzi." He grinned.

 These city walls ain't got no love for me, These iron bars can't hold my soul in;
He commented that she was going to be eighteen soon and he nodded, he knew that the time had come when he was going to need to let go a little, better get used to it now while he did not have the other stresses of ruling and other things weighing on his shoulders. He loved his sister dearly but he also knew that she needed space and he did not want to smother her like he felt like he should, after all this was a big brother thing and knew that Xavier probably also battled with the feelings since he had two younger sister as well. He would make sure that she knew that he was not going to forget about her though, breaking the news to her was something that he was not really looking forward to since him staying in Montana had been the plan all about, he and Matias and Annalie were all supposed to stay in Montana until she graduated and then they were going to switch to whatever university that they all wanted to go to. One of them had already broke the plans though so hopefully she might understand that he did not want to stay here when he was going to be alone, she was going to be involved in all these events at the school, events that he was not going to be a part of considering he had already graduated. While he and Xavier had always been in a little different of social circles the two had always gotten along so well and he knew that if they had more time when they had been back in school they surely would have hung out a lot more often and he did see him as a very close friend, one that perhaps would even get closer now that he was planning on moving to Dartmouth and going to be a room mate with him. This was going to be strange to him since the only roommate that he had had over the years was the Finnish prince but at the same time he knew that this was a step forward and there was nothing that was going to hold him back. Sitting here with Xavier Annalie was actually starting to flee from his mind and he even managed a smile a couple times that was not completely forced, something that lately he had been getting used to, smiling when really he did not mean it at all.
When Dario commented that he had never liked the Queens since they were much more about the drama and less about forming alliances he seemed to agree and he did know that it was the consensus with most of the Kings, they all tended to steer clear of the girls since you did not want to be the ones on the other end of the receiving wrath. He had been appalled at Aubrey and Leena last year, and to him it was scary that they were going to be ruling countries one day when they could not even deal with the person that they did not like without scratching them, pulling hair or revealing their deepest and darkest secrets. It was so juvenile. He said that his younger sister was interested in them and his eyes rolled. I don’t know what people see in them really. But, oh well she seems as though she can handle herself as well, even though she is young she seems to have the German traits that you are all known for. He said with a chuckle. The German Royal family was really not one that tended to get pushed around. He told him that his father seemed as though he was ready to step down and he knew the feeling, his father had even talked about it with him and right now was in the process of setting a date. I haven’t told anyone this but mine has decided that next year is going to be a good time for him to do so, so I might very well be switching to Dartmouth for nothing, at least I will get to have a bit of relaxation before dealing with this… He trailed off for a moment. He had always known that he was going to be one of the ones to take the throne a lot earlier than the rest but still until really he had talked to his father it really did not seem like something that was real, well until now where he was realizing that he had a lot less time left than he really was thinking about.
When he told Dario that he had done what he had at the Rose Ball because he had wanted Bella this caused him to smile a little. Girls make us do strange things, even so I never thought that you were out of line, in fact I do believe that it was appropriate what you did, he would not have come clean about the secrets otherwise. He uttered gently. He then finished with telling him that everything seemed to have happened over the night of the Masquerade and this caused him to laugh lightly when he said that he was still hiding from Dante and he was expecting a questioning from Pirzi. You are meaning to tell me that you have not told your sister yet? Wow you are doomed… He teased. I am happy to hear that though, you seem a lot happier than I have seen you. He told him once more. Well that will actually work out well since I am sure I will be coming back to Montana a lot to see Bethany and no one wants to fly alone.

"I've never understood the female mind when it came to clichés, so I gave up a long time ago. I suggest you do too," he commented jokingly. The music was getting sort of loud, given that the night was winding up, but Xavier had always enjoyed the scenery the Ice Box had to offer, so it didn't really bother him. At this point. It could turn bothersome later but who knew about later? He didn't even known about now sometimes. "Well I sincerely hope she knows what she's doing, otherwise she's doomed, both me and Pirzi will wring her neck, and I'm sure not even Max will be happy with her," he commented with a soft laugh, shaking his head, not really wishing for that to happen, but he knew his sister well enough that when she wanted something, she usually got it.
Dario's next words made Xavier sit up slightly straighter and look his friend square in the eye. That didn't sound like happy news - not on all accounts, at least. Sure, people thought it would be cool and fun when you were sitting on a throne, but when you were actually first in line fori t, things didn't look quite as alluring as they once did. So he knew that, if Anselm had wanted the same from him, he wouldn't have been all too happy himself. "Well, what can I say? You got me here. I do know you'll make a great king though. No worries there." But he studied his friend shrewdly through narrowed eyes. He couldn't read Dario's expression or make out anything behind the voice. "How do you feel about that?" It was a question no one really asked them, because they had little choice in the matter, and being brought up the way they were, abdication wasn't considered lightly.
Thinking about the Rose ball would bring him nothing but annoyance again. "Oh well, at least it ended the way it did. Though, I don't know if you heard, but my mother actually tried arranging a marriage between Pirzi and Bentley." The look that crossed Xavier's face at that made it clear to anyone who looked on him then what he thought of the matter. He still hadn't spoken to Tarti properly, especially since now Lunara was in an arranged marriage. "I'm just glad all the drama is over and done with. I don't need that in my life." No one did, especially not people who would rule someday, just like he and Dario would. Looking across to his friend, Xavier grinned suddenly. "Hey, but when you're king, you'll actually have real power. That has to count for something." He was trying to look at all the best in this situation.
Laughing lightly next, Xavier shrugged his shoulders, "I'll survive. Somehow. Don't I know Pirzi just might use my skin for her next saddlecloth! But I hope she's merciful and only sprinkles me with glitter in my sleep. And thank you - I feel happier. Meinrad, however, says I look like a dopey idiot whenever I talk to Bella on the phone, so yeah." He shrugged, smiling lightly at that. He didn't really mind being teased, not when he felt so strongly for the girl in question. He hadn't felt more alive in a while, and he wanted to share this feeling with his friends. He knew it would take him a while to cheer Dario up, but he was going to give it his all, and his best, obviously, as always before.

These city walls ain't got no love for me, These iron bars can't hold my soul in;
That was definitely one thing that he would be able to agree with Xavier about he did not understand the female mind either, after all even just thinking about it was giving him a headache, guys tended to fight, have a large usually loud or physical battle and then it was over and they were back to being the best of friends, with girls though hell it could last years if it did not get resolved properly or even if they did think that it got resolved! They were friends one moment and then nothing even had to happen to start the shift and they were raging enemies the next trying their best to claw one anothers eyes out and battle to the death. There was so much thinking going on that he thought that they probably just ended up confusing themselves as much as they were confusing one another, it was really silly after all a person did not live forever so why not try your best to be on good terms with everyone? Who knows when a friendship would come in handy at least that was his way of looking at it though he knew that he did not seem to share the same thinking as a lot of the people at Vineheart. I think that is definitely wise, even the thought of trying to understand it tends to give me a headache. He uttered with a small chuckle in Xavier’s direction. The music in the bar was tending to get a little loud for his liking though really he was used to it since they all had been a part of going to all the parties at Vineheart as well as the Ice Box on the weekends so they all knew how to have a conversation over things that were louder than this. He was simply pleased to be able to talk to someone that he found to be one of his closest friends he did not care where it was happening and what else was going around around them. He had always been a little jealous of the German siblings since they were all so close and so very involved in one another lives and it would be nice to have more than one sibling. He was close with Bethany but knew that he really did not have too much of a say in what she did with her life and all the siblings of the German family looked up to both Pirzi and Xavier who were the eldest and they would actually make decisions based on what they knew to be what their family would want for them and what would look best on the united front. While he and Bethany were very loyal to one another they had seemed to grow a little bit apart lately since they were both doing their own thing and involved in so many other parts of life.
When he had told him about the fact that he was going to be expected to take the throne soon this seemed to catch Xavier by surprise a little as he then sat up straighter and looked him in the eye as he stated that he had shocked him and he nodded lightly. I can’t say that I did not know it was coming though, my father has been talking about it since I was a senior and how nice it was going to be when he did not have to worry as much anyways and in some ways I know it is going to be nice to still have them around and not too old when I take the throne for them to be able to help me. After all they successfully ruled Denmark all this time and even though my pride tells me that I want to do this on my own that still counts for something. He was so rational when it came to all of this, he had already come to terms with it all and it was not looking as foreboding as it once had. He had known from the very start that this was going to be what he was expected to do so really where was the surprise in that? I appreciate you saying that, though I really do not think I am too suited for it. Bethany tends to be fierier than me and that would probably come in handy. He finished telling him and sighed when he asked what he felt about it all and a shrug dropped his shoulders slightly. In some ways I don’t like the idea because it is going to cut my school short and I had always wished to finish some sort of degree but at the same time how can I not be excited to take my place as King? It was mixed feelings but really none of it was bad. It was just the way that it all seemed to be working out.
He shook his head when X asked if he had heard about his sister being arranged into a marriage with Bentley. I am assuming if you had anything to do with it though it is over and forgotten about now? He uttered with a small laugh. Everything seemed to be a little lighter in conversation when he told him that he had not told Pirzi yet and that he was fearing that he might be turned into her next saddle cloth and eyes were rolled. I don’t picture her being that scary. But then again I am not her brother so I guess that would be a little different. He then smiled softly. I do have to admit that I am very glad that I came tonight, thank you I feel much better.
