"A pleasure meeting you Prince Ludwig, so ah what is there to do here other than talk to a bunch of nobles?" Proteus asked, he had no intention of staying but didn't want to risk invoking the wrath of his father. He looked around for his parents to make sure they were no where nearby and he then also asked, "Does the bartender ID people?" Proteus didn't want to live a life full of luxury and nobility he just wanted to be a normal teen, dealing with normal teen problems and doing normal teen things. Typical teen things included drinking and partying and since he didn't want to party with his parents friends, he decided drinking is his best bet to having a good time.
