Liam thought for a moment, he knew nobody from Norra would attemp something like this. Then of course people from Mithra were extremely skilled in all assets of magic, but Mithrans rarely, if ever, left the island "I'm sorry, I have no idea who may ave done this...perhaps one of your own?" He said, trying to turn the blame.
"because...you're special" he said with a smile. "You lost your family...and then you became this highly respected soldier who is skilled in so many aspects...you're an amazing person Priscilla"

"The people of Ander don't rely on magic, and I can't imagine anyone with Ander blood doing something like that to him." The prince replied. "But if it wasn't Norra or Ander..." The prince trailed off, turning towards the king of Hannon.
((Sorry. Edit: ))
Hector said nothing, not even knowing how to reply. Rather then say anything, she continued to dance, twirling in his arms as if she were a puppet.

The king of Hannon was stuffing himself with any desserts that were left on the table, he hadn't been paying attention to the events that were unfolding, and to be honest, he didn't care.
Shepard wasn't really interested in what had happened to Hector, the way she had just disappeared, the Hector he heard of could free herself from any hostage situation, no, she had gone willingly. Shepard saw the prince turn to the king, he stepped in front of him so there eyes locked, he sent the message that if he tried anything he'd have to answer to him.
Eviz began to feel weak, using all that magic continuously was starting to hit him like a ton of bricks. He let go of Hector, interrupting their dance. "I'm sorry" he said, he began too feel lightheaded "seems like my time is up" he said giving her a sweet smile.
[~it's ok.]

Hector said nothing and tilted her head, lightly kissing him on the cheek. She then quickly turned, leaving him alone in the room. She then began to walk back towards the ballroom.

Eviz didn't know how to respond when she kissed him. He watched her walk away, as she made her way back his magic would wear off, changing Hector back. There was only one way he could get out of the palace, looking out the balcony, the siding was perfect for climbing down.

Hector noticed as the magic wore off, and she walked back into the ballroom, taking a deep breath as she walked back into the room. "I'm here! Everything's fine!" She said, walking through the crowds that gathered around her. As soon as the prince saw her, he ran up to her, tackling her to the floor. "Oof!" She yelled.
"Thank goodness you're safe!" The prince smiled.
"G-get off of me!" She yelled.
"You're back to normal too!" The prince smiled.
"Of course. It wasn't permanent, you know." She snapped. "Now off!" She said, kicking underneath him. The prince got up and pulled her up as well.
"What on earth happened?" The prince demanded.
"Time froze and a magician appeared. He took me to one of the empty rooms and talked to me for a minute before vanishing." Hector shrugged. "He was dressed like a noble but he wasn't anyone I recognized. He wore a mask, which didn't help. More importantly..." She trailed off, looking at the prince. "What the bloody hell is wrong with you! I turn into a woman for two minutes and you are all over me like a happy hound!" She yelled, obviously upset. "God only knows what I would have done if I was stuck that way!"

Eviz managed to escape the palace, he had trashed the clothing a few blocks back. Even though the time he spent there was short he'd never forget it. He decided to take a walk around before going to his home.
Shepard was happy to see Hector again, mostly because now the prince wouldn't try to start anything with them.

Hector started walking out of the way of the attention and sat at the side. She took a deep breath as things seemed to calm, but still, the image of her true self was burned into too many minds. The prince turned and looked at Hector, then looked away blushing only seeing her beautiful image when he saw her face.

Liam began to loosen up, dancing with a few woman and having great conversations, his mind dint even think about the fact that they may go to war with these people.
Eviz found a diner, it was almost empty except a few late night drinkers. He took a booth and ordered a drink, his mind kept wandering back to Priscilla rubbing his cheek where she had kissed him.
"that was quite the trick..." Shepard said, walking up to Hector "magic like that is very rare around these parts" he took sip of his drink and sat next to him "and the prince....he doesn't have much self control does he?" He said with a chuckle.

((Sorry. Friend lost her car keys, so I went to help look. ))
"It's true. Magic like that isn't common because stones needed for magic aren't found in these mountains. Still, I think by Norran standards, that was exceptional." Hector sighed. "The prince... He sees no reason to hold himself back. Don't underestimate him though. Part of his attitude is because growing up, he was smart enough to get away with anything he pulled, and he pulled things all the time because his studies were so easy they bored him." Hector told Shepard.

"that still isn't an excuse to treat a lady like that..." He said, still trying to figure out if THAT was the real Hector. Shepard looked on at the King who had been stuffing himself since he left him alone, the woman around him didn't seem to mind, must have paid them a high price. "If I overheard correctly, you said a man had taken you away, do you know why he did this?" He was a bit confused by it, if the man hadn't taken her for ransom then what?
[~edit]

"Oh that..." She trailed off with slight irritation. "You do realize the prince has slept with over half the women here that I know of, even the ones you wouldn't normally think would do such a thing. He doesn't see women as people. They're more like toys. It's a bad habit of his, and I don't like it." She admitted. "He'll probably get married in a political marriage. Even so, he'll never be faithful." She sighed. "I feel bad for whoever his wife is." At that, she also turned and picked up a drink of her own. "Yeah. A man did. I have no idea. He said he was interested in me. I think he was trying to throw everyone off to see what would happen. More or less, he didn't get the reaction he wanted and realized he was using up too much stamina. So he fled."

"hmm..." Shepard said simply as he spotted the prince who seemed to be harassing a few woman, he felt sickened just watching the man "It seems our countries do have something in common after all..." He said as his eyes shifted over to his king who was doing the exact same thing. "Interesting. It seems like a great way to go for an...experiment..." He finished, he stood up and bowed "I do believe I've taken enough of your time" he finished his drink and walked away.

"Enjoy yourself." She told Shepard, still laying against the wall, bored. She looked between the two princes and the king of Hannon before letting out a small sigh. As much as she didn't want to admit it, it was true. She was just thanking the heavens that none of them knew the truth. To be honest, they didn't react in the way that she thought they would, and now she could almost picture wars happening over her. She didn't like that image one bit.

[~hehe. Time for some fun :3]
Eviz finished his third drink, he had never before drank this much and was immediately feeling the effects. Euphoria wafted through him, he wanted to go back to the party and dance. He managed to control himself and stay in the booth "a...another!" He called out to the waitress who had already suggested he go home.
