"I picked him!" Sora exclaimed. He was very glad Riku had met him. He was one of Sora's later introductions to the council. "Though...I only have met him briefly..." He would LIKE to meet him, though.
The Prince sighed a little. That was good, that it seemed to be received well. He was kind of worried about talking to his Father. That he would ask things like 'Are you ready to grow up and find a real wife?' and 'Enough playing around, Sora' and 'I won't let you marry a man regardless of who he is' and 'but he's a SERVANT' and 'I'm so disappointed in you'. He wasn't looking forward to it in general. "I don't know what to say to my Father," he admitted to Riku, hoping he'd have insight or at least encouragement.
Lord Blakely didn't care, he fully assumed that the King was totally aware of all of this. The Prince wouldn't have made such a bold statement on his own! Roger had a friend at the keep that told him about the couple. You know Lord Ryder, his son was there. Fine couple they made, he said. Well that was great! Your Majesty, we are all so proud of His Majesty the Prince. So proud. If only my bumbling boys could be such fine sons. He thought it was a smart move. A Trabian and the Balamb Prince. Brought their countries together even more.
