{Okai. ^.^ If you have any suggestions on what to do with the sister at all, please let me know. I'd like to work on my character development skills as much as possible.}
Ophelia waited calmly at the castle gates, keeping semi close to the guards as she fondled her weapons while she waited for her sisters to arrive. She had previously warned Kaistern to be ready for anything from her sisters, especially when it came to the innocent looking Bianca. Ophelia cared for what little blood family she had left, this was true, but at the same time she didn't trust either of them completely. Ophelia knew for a fact that Bianca would take every opprotunity to embarass her, and that Helena - as sweet as she seemed to be - could be quite the devil as well when she wanted to be.

Kaistern waited patiently beside her with his hands folded behind his back. "I still think you're being a tad excessive. You really think they'd do anything before even getting into the castle?" Despite the girls all being related, he would've like Ophelia to make a better first impression as queen.

"I care for what blood family I have left. Very much so. That doesn't mean I have to trust them not to do something foolish." Or highly embarassing. "Bianca will most likely try to get a rise out of you with overly shocking or sexual words. Helena will be much more polite and pleasant to talk to, but she is a terrible gossip and cannot be trusted with even the slightest of secrets. She will undoubtably form some outrageous and improbable misconception about you, us, and pretty much everything else. It is best to ignore it, for correcting her only makes things worse."
As soon as Ophelia finished, her sisters could be seen approaching from the distance. They were dressed as fancy as their pockets could afford, wanting to leave as good an impression as possible, but even then their clothes would pale in comparison to the everyday wear that Ophelia had donned. Ever since their mother's death, they had not been financially well off. Ophelia was poor enough to only be able to afford a shitty shack in the slums before she married Kaistern, and even then she was the richest of them.

"I apologize that I never got the chance to properly introduce myself." Kaistern said as the pair arrived. "My status make it a tad difficult to mingle with the lower classes at times, no offense." he said taking each of their hands and giving them a polite kiss. "Had certain political matters not gotten in the way, I would have gladly welcomed you into the family far sooner."

Helena's face quickly went to a bright red in surprise, not expecting such a greeting. "I...well..uhm...nice to...meet you too, your highness?" she murmured almost inaudibly. She certainly seemed a little shy, but not half as shy as Ophelia used to be. For one, she could actually look Kaistern in the eye.
Bianca on the other hand, found it quite easy to play along. She immediately offered an exaggerated curtsey, retaining a cheshire grin the entire time. "It's no problem at all. We understand that you both must be very busy at a time like this."
It sounded like understanding on her part, but Ophelia knew better. She saw that twinkle in Bianca's eyes, that twinkle that undoubtably meant that she was envisioning something dirty. Ophelia wasn't stupid, and was fully expecting her youngest sister to say something completely dirty and out of the blue when everyone least expected it.

Kaistern held up a hand. "Even if we're only related through marriage, family doesn't need to follow such formalities. Please, call me Kaistern." he said with a smile before turning to lead them into the castle. "Let me give you the grand tour, and then I'll have someone go collect the rest of your things to help you move in."
((Maybe Bianca can help bring dark!Kaistern back into existance by being excessively flirty with him when Ophelia's not around or something.))

{Possibly. XD I intend on Bianca being The Tease as well as The Gatfly, so that could definately work. I'm also thinking of giving them a previously violent sibling rivalry, with their patching things up only recently. Like, the whole family has a history of back-stabbery.}
"Thank you for...for your hospitality." Helena said, offering a small smile and luminescent blush as she followed Kaistern along.
"Yes, thank you, Kaistern." Cue Bianca's gaze heading in inappropriate directions when he wasn't looking. Also cue Ophelia's shooting the blonde an icy 'I will ******** kill you' glare.
Once Ophelia got the chance, she whispered in Kaistern's ear, "Do not trust them. They are my sisters, but blood does not guarantee good will." She would not normally be bothered by women giving Kaistern longing looks, as she knew they didn't have a chance and it did not happen very often at all. But Bianca....oh Bianca. She had a way with getting under Ophelia's skin. Truly she was closer to Helena than she ever was the golden-haired tart. Inevitably, though, ths could be chalked up to Ophelia's blatant paranoia. (She had been assuming the worst of everyone but Kaistern as of late, hadn't she?)

"I'll just have to take your word for it, I suppose." Kaistern said easily, still oblivious to her sisters' true nature. "Do keep in mind that there are certain parts of the castle I must ask you to stay out of. Royal secrets and what not; I hope you understand."

{Hey, how does this look? I want to use Ophelia as a villain-esque and/or lawful evil character in a RP I might eventually make, but I didn't want to use the original pic. And I wanted color. I'm not satisfied with the skirt and I'm not going to leave the gun as is, but...yeah.}
Helena nodded, but looked a little reluctant to speak. She began getting horriby exaggerated worries about the secret sections of the castle. Were they where the corpses of Kaistern's previous wives were kept? Were they horrible, torture chambers that she couldn't begin to fathom? Were they where the annual orgies of doom were held? Or...or worse...bringing back shitty pop singers from hundreds of years ago?!
"If you insist." Bianca let out an exaggerated sigh, but that look of dissappointment was quick to fade. As they walked along in a certain silent cooridoor, in order to start a conversation, the blonde asked what Ophelia had been expecting from the very start, "So....have you two done it yet?" To Kaistern this might seem absolutely out of nowhere, but to Ophelia this wasn't the least bit surprising. Helena's face went a beat red.
Ophelia let out a heavy sigh and face palmed at Bianca's question. "Knew it." she grumbled almost inaudibly to herself.

Kaistern coughed a bit in surprise, as though he just tried to do a spit take without any beverage while his cheeks tinted. He cleared his throat a bit, trying to regain his composure before responding. "I, er....had hoped that sort of conversation would remain private. Between Ophelia and I. So I hope you can go without an answer. For now, and forever."

Bianca giggled at Kaistern's response to her question, not even able to fake a pout like she normally did. "Oh fine. But only because your face just now was priceless."
Helena looked over to Bianca and whispered in her ear, "Don't be so rude." Helena knew that Kaistern was a king. She knew she heard terrible, terrible rumors about him. (Not to mention the wild ideas she was getting about the "secret castle rooms".) It was never wise to piss such a man off.
Ophelia bit her lip as they walked along, knowing already that it was going to be a loooong week. Or however long that blonde sister of her's was going to stay at the castle. She leaned over to whisper in Kaistern's ear, "She only gets worse from here. Never let yourself be alone with her, either. That's when she's at her absolute worst." Of course, as innocent as Kaistern was, she had absolutely no doubts that he would inevitably ignore her advise and see for himself just why Ophelia kept giving all those warnings.

"Good thing I prefer being in your company then." Kaistern said with a smile as he linked arms with Ophelia. "I hope the rooms are to your liking. Of course as sisters of the queen you get the best possible treatment without being royalty."

"You are going to regret that." Ophelia half-joked as she beamed up at Kaistern, pleased for the moment to hear him say that he preffered her company over theirs.
Helena acted genuinely greatful, if rather at awe with her room as a whole. She looked around every nook and cranny, curious about the luxurious delights that awaited her.
Bianca seemed equally impressed, though not quite as exciteable as Helena. The area she found most interesting, of course, was the bed. "Aaah~ It's so nice and soft!"

"If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask any one of the servants." In the back of his mind, Kaistern couldn't help but pray his staff would go untouched by Bianca and her apparent behavior. "Someone should be bringing your things up soon, and then we'll leave you alone to unpack."

The two sisters thanked Kaistern in unison. For the moment they were both well behaved, more foused on getting to know their surroundings than anything. That was certainly not going to last forever. Helena would undoubtably run her mouth over something silly or private, Bianca would soon start with the sexual harassment, and the ticking yandere-esque timebomb that was Ophelia would soon be set off.
...Which might be sooner that Ophelia would like. For some odd reason, she was beginning to feel a little queezy.
