Hello! Sorry about this but I have to add a bit to the story since it wouldn't make sense. Go with it, it's for the plot. You're a person from Indus (Modern day India). Your description I kinda have to edit for you (lol sorry about that but it needs to be done on this one). You have fair skin completion with Chesnut color hair with Carmel highlights that blend into your hair. Eyes are hazel. Once again I did this because of the plot, no worries you can pick the name.. kinda... xD. Your last name is chosen tho, it's Singh (common last name) Or Kapoor. You can be Y/N Singh or Kapoor (Pronounced cap our Kapoor and for Singh it Singc) ON WITH THE STORY >:D. 

You stood on the deck of the ship looking at the ocean, your hair blowing behind you. The sea salt air fills up your nose and reminds you of your favorite salted caramel toffee that Evanlyn had gifted you. You hear light footsteps behind you.

"Cassandra?" You ask un-interested.

"I can never get the best of you can I?" She replied behind you sighing. "That accent of yours is delightful although". You let out a little laugh. 

"Say more things, it's so cultured," She asked eagerly, Cassandra was like a little sister to you. 

"Umm... Pineapple?" You say with uncertainty. She smiles gleefully. 

"Horse, Horace-" You start to say but Cassie cuts you off. 

"How did you get from Horse to Horace?" She asks. 

"Well, that fellow looks larger than a horse, and mind you, looks like he could eat one!" You exclaim. Cassandra laughs. Halt a grim-faced man who had been listening to this conversation cracked a rare smile. Horace looks mildly offended, while his close friend Will coughs to hide his laughter. 

"Aye, I can agree with that!" Svengal's voice said behind you. "He ate through my stock of salted goat at the same speed those Ranger's drink Coffee!". You hide a smile. Gilan who had been grinning and leaning on the railing of the ship had stood up and glared at Svengal. 

"I always do love this part of the year," You say wistfully. "Your odd-ball company as we travel to do the regular peace treaty signings and negotiations". 

"You have no idea how hard it is to convince my father" Cassie huffs.

"Cassie, I've heard it a million times and don't need to hear it a million and one times" You inform her straight-faced. She glares at you and you start laughing. 

"LAND!" A voice yelled it was Axl the first mate. You immediately transformed from easy-going to downright haughty and pompous. 

"I might need to take lessons on how to be pompous from you" Cassie whistled. "Selethen would be pleased with that" She added. You raised an eyebrow. 

"She's definitely hung out with us too much!" You hear Gilan hoot. You flash him a withering look but he grinned and refused to be withered. 

"He's the Wakir but probably going to become Emrikir if he's not already" Cassie explained. Ah, so he was the one welcoming them to Arrida. Indus gets incredibly boring so the only source of fun for you was these little trips. The ship slowly began to slow down, you saw a man waiting for the ship. You speed-walked below deck to change from your comfortable hunting clothes to the royal attire of Indus. A saree. It was specially made for showcasing that you were royalty. 

(Image of what it looks like)

Cassandra gaped at you and so did most of the Herons (They were escorting you, Svengal came as Erak's bodyguard). You let out a small sigh. 

"Do I look that bad?" You demanded. 

"NO!" They shouted. You breathe out a sigh of relief. They had scared the life out of you when they looked at you like that. A young man, perhaps a few years younger than you were walked up to you, and as did a set of twins. 

"How can I help you?" You asked them. 

"Erm... Well.. uhhh... We were wondering..." One of them started before nudging the twins to continue. 

"If... if... you... were.... single...." One of the twins stammered. 

"Andifyouwerewillingtocourtoneofus" The other twin stammered out. 

"Ah," You said with a blank face. "I'm sorry but none of you are... what do you call it?" 

"Your type?" Will piped in helpfully, you smiled thanks at him. 

"Yes," You add. "I'm would prefer a tall, dark, and handsome man". You notice that the Arulan's exchange mischievous looks. 

"What?" You ask mildly curious. 

"Nothing" They all chorus back to you. You roll your eyes and even notice that the Gray-beared and grim-faced ranger looked like a little kid who was going to pull a prank. You went below deck to haul up your bags. The conversation was struck as a few people boarded the ship to welcome the newcomers to this year's negotiation. A young Heron helps you out with your baggage he had crystal blue eyes and the same blonde hair. Skandians are rather similar aren't they, you noted.

"Poor Jesper, Ulf, and Wolf you broke their hearts" He attempted to joke to break the silence. You tilt your head curiously, you could see it in his eyes that those weren't the only hearts you had broken. But not commenting on it you come up and see that there was a man hastily welcoming them, it looked like they were being rushed for the poor man had to greet plenty more. The scene amused you, last year (Indus was the host and you hosted it) you had encouraged early comers so that they could get settled in. But you had met this fellow just yet. Fixing your saree as you did before any occasion you made your way to solid ground. Chin up, you remind yourself. You get a closer look at the man. He was quite young but had a halk like a nose that would have made him appear more handsome than he was. He had a slight beard but you noted that it had been shaved off revealing his strong built jawline. He was tall as well. His eyes locked with yours and stayed that way as you descended. He broke contact and you raised an eyebrow as to say: I win. He allowed a light smirk to touch his features. 

"Y/N Kapoor/Singh, Princess and Future Queen of Indus" A person announced. That's your cue. You descended with grace and poise. 

"Hello," The young man spoke. His voice was rich and deep. 

"Greetings" You replied, touching your right hand to your mouth, then forehead then back to the mouth. He appeared surprised but the emotion disappeared as fast as it appeared. 

"I take it you're the famous Y/N?" He said with a hint of amusement. He has a guest list of course he knows my name, you chide yourself. 

"Indeed I am, and you must be the Wakir Seley el'then that I heard so much about" You reply in the same tone but with perfect pronunciation. He allowed his surprise to slip by this time. 

"You did your homework, I did it with extra credit" You inform him smiling. 

"Well, the rumors don't touch your true beauty. You are indeed a sight for sour eyes"  He agrees. 

"Oh? What would have made your eyes so dull?" You tease him. He lets out a light chuckle. 

"Well try greeting seven people at a time for around 3 hours," He says dryly. You smile. 

"I did that last year" You pointed out. This he could not compete with. 

"If it's not much trouble, would you mind joining me for some coffee?" He asked keeping his easy-going tone. 

"Oh? Why would that be?" You ask him mocking his tone. He sighs exasperated but ruins it by smiling. 

"First time negotiating with the Indus princess, I would like to get to know you better." He said at last. You looked at his eyes and noticed that wasn't the only reason. 

"It is not your first time," You say smiling. 

"You always did win our childhood arguments" He added wistfully (You and he grew up together). He flashed you a winning smile.

"I'll see you at the twelfth hour"  He walked away silently grinning. You catch Alyss waving at you in the corner of your eye. You smiled and walked up to her.  Will whistled. 

"You have more grace, elegance, and poise then Alyss" He commented, you roll your eyes. 

"Is that so uncomfortable?" Cassie asks you. 

"You have no idea!" You moaned. 

"We did see Selethen talking with you more friendly than he ever was with us" Alyss added.

"Just him inviting me to some coffee" You explain. Alyss and Cassie share mischievous looks at the word just. You raise an eyebrow. 

"Tell me" You command. They act innocent. 

"I'll show you the rest of my sarees and gift a white one to you Alyss and a purple one to you Cassie" You try to bribe them. "Both of you always liked my collection".

"Fine" Cassie giggles. Alyss smiles. 

"Well, we were talking to the Wakir while you were unloading baggage" Alyss started.

"And the first thing he asked was" Cassie continued. 

"Is Y/N with you?" Alyss finished smiling. You take a step back in surprise and bump into someone. It was General Sapristi. 

"I am so sorry senorita!" He exclaimed. You looked down to see your saree drenched in coffee. 

"It's nothing General Sapristi," You tell him kindly and shuffle forward to your quarters to change. Alyss and Cassie at your tail. 

"Show us all the sarees please" Cassie begs. You sigh and agree

After showing your friends your 7 sarees you landed on one that would be appropriate to wear during the negotiation which was a few hours from now.

"Dressing up for your date I see" Cassandra teased. 

"It seemed adequate to wear during the negotiations which are right after my chat with Selethen. Why waste time?" You answer evenly with steel. A few minutes later a knock came at the door. 

"It's open" You called out, you were knee-deep in paperwork. The door creaked open to reveal Selethen. But to your surprise, he was dressed up. He wore attire and looked dashing with it might I add.

"Oh, your busy-" He said starting to close the door. You hastily got up and shoved the paperwork aside. 

"Just prepping" You inform him with a smile. You notice that his eyes flicker to your clothing. 

"My eyes are up here," You tell him amused. He glances up really quickly embarrassed.

"Sorry," He says but grins. "I see you dressed up for a simple argument that we will have".

"Says the one in formal attire" You point out. 

"Point," He says grinning. He leads you to a room where there is a warm pot of coffee set aside. You take a seat at one of the larger lounging chairs. Selethen instead of sitting in the usual Wakir throne takes a seat beside you. You noticed that the handsome young man smelt of kafay. You both started to talk. 

"Remember the time we got into a fight?" He asked you. 

"If I recall correctly I sat on you because you sat on my favorite toy" You remember. He started laughing. 

"You weighed a ton!" He exclaimed. You threw a pillow from the lounge at him. 

"Shut up Lenny Longshanks!" You say using the nickname Gundar Hardstricker gave him. He glares at you. 

"Well if you don't like Lenny Longshanks. I got another one. Taka." You continued. "Then Hawk Nose or just Hawk". But he puts a finger on your lips. You were startled but knew what was going on. He helped you up and the both of you hid inside a cramped little closet. 

"Why is there even a closet in a debate room?" You whisper to him. He smiles. 

"How do I know?" He replies. 

"You're the Wakir, you should know this," You tell him rolling your eyes. You had to tilt your head slightly to look at Selethen in the eye. He shut the door but opened the flap ever so slightly so that there was some light. The moment the door shut there was ten times less space. Your body was pressed against his, you realized. Selethen realized the same thing. 

You tilted your head up to look at him in the eye. His eyes weren't the same. Usually to people he didn't know they were made of steel and confidence. But to you, they were always like melted chocolate filled with laughter. Now they were darker and held something else love and passion. You heard footsteps coming and were about to say that they were coming but Selethen cut off the words by snaking his hands around your waist pulling you closer to him which you thought was physically impossible. The Wakir studied your head to toe or as Horace might have said, checking you out. Not with a single hint of embarrassment this time. But this time you felt the heat rising to your cheeks and your ears redden. Selethen chose that moment to close any gap there was. He leaned forward and kissed you. You were startled. His lips tasted like coffee and were warm. His embrace made you lose any of the fake pompousness you had, you melted in his hands. He caressed your body gently as though you might break. But he kissed you passionately. For some reason, your hands moved on their own. They wrapped themselves around Selethens neck. He sensed this and deepened the kiss. You looked at his eyes they were almost like orbs of Dark Chocolate, but this one held something deeper than just sweetness. They held lust, love, and passion. You broke apart his hands still around you. 

"I... I'm... I'm so sorry Y/N" He said stuttering. "I had no idea what overcame me". You smiled quietly, it wasn't that bad. 

"Oh really?" He said his cocky tone returning to his voice slowly but confidently.

"Would you care for another kiss?" He asked leaning forward. You realized what you had said out loud, "It wasn't that bad". You cursed. 

"Maybe," You say finally. He took that as a yes and kissed you again. But this time it was shorter and sweeter. 

"What are we doing here?" You muttered nuzzling into his chest for some warmth in the cold closet. 

"Other than making out?" He responded holding you tighter. You looked up at him and glared. 

"I have a feeling," He told you at last. Before you could come up with a snarky response the door to the room swung open revealing an over-sized man and three heavily built men. Selethen put his finger to his lips. 

"Ah, the Wakir left," The fat man said. You resist the urge to snort.

"Well, how do you purpose we kill Emrikir? If we do kill him Selethen would become the emrikir" Another voice said. 

"Well, we could always use poison" One of the three grunted. Selethen's grip around you tightened protectively. You hid a small smile. Overprotective isn't he? You wondered making sure to not say it out loud. Over a few minutes, they discussed their plans and Selethen's grip grew tighter and tighter. 

"Are you trying to make sure that I don't get any blood flow here?" You hiss at him. He realizes that he had tightened his grip immensely. He loosens his grip. When the intruders leave he creaks open the closet and looks at you. 

"Stay here," He tells you before unsheathing his sword opened the door. Ignoring his instructions to stay put your hand goes to the dagger you kept hidden. You pull it out and follow him. He glares at you and you return it with a glare of your own. He sighed knowing he won't win this argument. When both of you stepped out ready to kill the first thing on sight. But instead, you find, Gilan, Alyss, Evanlyn, General Sapristi, Will (Who was grinning much too wide), Erak, and Svengal sitting on the couches. 

"Soo" Halt started eyeing the both of us. "What were you doing in a closet?". I turned slightly red at the question but Selethen saved us both. 

"We noticed intruders during our time together so we hid and gathered some valuable information for the life of the Emrikir" He supplied smoothly. 

"Still does not explain why Y/N is turning red," Horace said grinning. 

"Well, try a drastic temperature change. Our closets are made to be cold then she walks out into the drastic heat. Called science" You respond. Sapristi gets a clue of what was going on.

"You were... erm... what do you call it?... The term for..." The general said while racking his brain for the phrase.

"Making out?" Gilan said grinning. The general nodded. 

"Shut up" You mutter just loud enough for Selethen to hear. 

"You go ahead and get some fresh air, I'll tell our friends here what we heard," He told you. You were more than happy to leave. Outside a Gallican man approached you. He was handsome but couldn't even compare to Selethen.

"How can I help you?" You asked the man. 

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to my caravan." The man said in what he thought was a tempting voice. To you, it sounded more idiotic. 

"Not very tempting sorry," You tell him waiting patiently for the man to leave. 

"Oh come on, your pretty, and I'm handsome. We'd made a good couple" He said wiggling his eyebrows. This man was starting to get on your nerves.

"I said no thank you" You replied once again anger edging your voice. 

"Just one shot beautiful," He tried again. 

"I said no" You shot back angrier. The man drew a breath about to ask again but this time something stopped him and it wasn't your withering glare. You felt something wrap around your waist and pull you. Your body gently collided with another. You smiled knowing who it was. Selethen scowled deeply. He leaned forward and kissed you. 

"Well, sorry for being so late love," Selethen said emphasizing the word love. You smiled inwardly and snuggled closer to his chest. His scowl grew into a wide grin. The Gallican finally took the hint and left. You sighed with relief. 

"Gods thank you Selethen!" You told him. "I had honest goodness no idea what I would do."

"Oh? So you thought I was lying?" He asked you. You turned a slight shade of red. 

"It didn't feel like a lie" He whispered nuzzling your right cheek. You smiled once again that day and touched his cheek with your right hand.

"You honestly have no idea how long I waited to kiss you," He told you. "From the time I first laid my eyes on you". You let out a little happy sigh. And then only did you notice that Gilan, Alyss, Evanlyn, General Sapristi, Will (Who was once grinning much too wide), Erak, and Svengal watching you. 

"So... Just a cup of coffee she said" Cassandra said. 

"Just listening to intruders he said" Will stated. 

"Shut up" Selethen muttered. "You're ruining the moment"

Then and there you knew that this was perfect. Selethen cradling you in his arms ever so carefully, your friends watching you and knowing far off in the Indus that your father would be happy to finally not have to listen to your mother whine about you not having a relationship.
