"Ancestry," Liliana waved that away, "ancestry has no effect on me today or any other. I have chosen this position in life because I love it and so I embrace it whole-heartedly. No matter where my ancestors may have ended their lives, I have chosen to spend my own in the life of a slave and by asking me to disregard my place is like asking me to stop being me."

"Sorry sorry I didn't know alright." holding her hands out to show she didn't mean offense. "But if you have to call me by any honorifics please just use princess Skye not your highness or anything else like that. At the moment as I am not even in my own Queendom I don't even know weather I have any power to do anything much anyways."

"Very well Princess Skye." Liliana bowed again. "As for power, that coat seems to be power enough on its own. I can't see how you could have any troubles with that in your possession." It did seem odd that it could pull out so many things. They had to come from somewhere probably and Liliana didn't like that sort of unknown.

"It has its limits." she answered briefly about the cape she didn't like speaking of it too often after all it had been given to her by one she had loved dearly and lost. "But its a good coat. If your wondering it opens into a different reality thats basically a storage room." reaching in she pulls out a cookie jar and eats one. "Would you like a cookie Liliana? They are baked fresh by my mum."

"No thank you Princess, I haven't grown comfortable enough to accept gifts without charge just yet. Perhaps sometime soon fates willing." She lowered her head apologetically. "Well you know all that's important about me, so tell me about yourself, how goes your hunt for a mate?"

"So far I haven't even really been thinking about it. But to tell you the truth I am rather depressed about the whole thing. I haven't the first clue of how to talk normally to people and it makes the whole search rather difficult. Especially the rules that mean that I can't buy a wife. I also have to look for someone in a low position no royalty. So I need to socialize with some people who are not used to talking with me so it gets troublesome especially when I can't hear them make proper sense over all their yes highness nonsense. And finally my wife needs to love me for me not what I can offer although I have to be entirely honest about who I am and what I am looking for during the entire time. So all up its going lousy." pulls out a sheet of parchment. "You know how to read right?" hands the parchment over. "This is the complete set of rules that I am bound by and it has both the writer of the contract and my name written in our own blood at the bottom for a demon it is a binding contract so I cannot break a single thing on there."

Liliana skimmed through the document, noting particulars, her mind noting loopholes and addendums covering them. It was a solid document. Well you can't buy them as a wife, though it would be a way to make sure they stayed close to you and maybe then they would grow to love you." Her mind stored and crosschecked the data she drew from the document. "As for nobility, it doesn't seem so exact. Perhaps not this princess and this kingdom but a Lady or princess without a kingdom to run herself is not only close enough to royal to treat you on equal terms but it doesn't seem to be barred. After all you wouldn't be taking them from their kingdom." It was a long list, but Liliana had always been a fast reader.

tilting her head sideways slightly she placed her fingers on her chin. "My mother thought of that later down as you will find out. I need to bring someone from low down. A street-urchin or a slave or servant of someone else as my wife I can't go for and nobility no matter the kingdom. Stupidly I was the one that pointed that out to her when I was writing my plan on how to find a wife nice and easily so they amended it and got me to sign it again."

"Seems easy enough to me. Even with the prejudice there would probably be lots of girls willing to throw themselves at a chance to marry into something better than slavery. I know I enjoy it but I know that there are others who are not so lucky." Her eyes continued skimming the list. "And it would still be love of a sort. Or it could grow into it. Hmm, still don't see why they have to be low born. That seems like it would make everything easier."

"No not really. It actually makes it harder due to the fact that they actually need to love me for me not for what I can offer them." sighs.
"I wish I could get some help trying to find a wife at least its making it so much harder searching on my own"

"But that's what love is about. It's one person offering their companionship to the other and then mirrored. Loving someone for their looks, for saving them from poverty, or even from loneliness. It's love no matter where it spawned from or what brought it on. Maybe you just love someone because they bring you happiness. It's always about what two people offer each other." Liliana finished the list and handed it back. "I suppose some people hold some reasons in higher regard than others but there's hardly a point so long as both parties end up happy."

"Thats a very interesting way to put it quite business-like but very appropriate I would say." sighs again then slumps. "The problem is I am not sure how I can make other people happy there isn't really that much special or unique about me other then my throne and I don't want someone to be with me solely because of that because later on down the track they may take an interest in someone else." slumps more. "If only I had something to offer people."

"Well there's always your looks, your personality. I've always found employment by giving off my skills and experience though I suppose that wouldn't work in a marriage proposal. Should it come down to it, you may have to actively pursue the girl yourself rather than hope one comes to you on her own."

sighing she nods. "I guess your right there. Hmm" grinning at a joke she had made in her own mind she looks at Lil. "I don't suppose you'd be interested would you?" battering her eyelids and trying to look as cute and attractive as possible

"You'd have to buy me first. I don't abandon any of my mistresses." She answered taking it all completely serious. "Then I would have to decide whether or not I wish to sell myself to you as well. From our conversation earlier you sounded as if you might bring out the whip prematurely and while I do enjoy the whip it must be appropriate so that the balance between master and slave is kept. Besides that, I still haven't decided on whether or not I trust what you say, that comes first. Then after that I suppose love may or may not come. It's never certain."
