"Your Majesty. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Callan takes Morgana's hand and kisses it.

"The pleasure is all mine. I've heard so much about you."

Her voice is small, almost strained. It seems like she has to think through each word. That might be the only thing I don't like about her. I'm into more confident- not conceited- woman. Having a spouse that knows what they want really does something to me.

"I can proudly say the same thing about you, though I am not sure the things I've heard are completely true." My brother takes her arm, slides it through his and, gracefully makes his down the hallway.

After the excitement of G,Q's reveal died down, our guests moved to the ballroom to dance. It was only about 15 nerve recking minutes before my parents excused themselves, asking me, my brother, and Morgana to join them. Now we were walking down the hall to my father's office where they were waiting. My brother and the future queen walk ahead of me, as I was surrounded by a large amount of guards- at least 10.

Special order of my father.

The queen had a large, off the shoulder ball gown. It had a large train so we had to stay a little ways back. She looked beautiful though.

Morgana gawked at the hallway we were in. It had portraits and artifacts of former leaders and war heros.

"Your home is lovely but I've seen so little of it. Maybe I can fact check your hearings during a castle tour," She suggested and squeezed his arm.

My brother ears perked up at the thought of being alone with her.
"I would like that very much."

We arrived at the office door before my brother could start his corny babbling. He knocked on the door and my mother's voice called to enter. We walked in to see her sitting elegantly on my father's lap behind the desk.

My father's office was about the size of my room which was pretty big to most. Unlike the rest of castle, my father had no blue or tan in his office. It was all brown because of the wood, red and green because of the plants my mother usually put in it.There was a huge wooden desk in the back of the room, surrounded by bookshelves. In the front the of room was a sitting area with a brick fireplace.

A red suede sofa was place in front of the fire while two matching chairs were placed beside the fire. On the right of the sofa was a small table with a lamp on top and a basket under it. The basket was full of wool for my mother to knit. When she was done with her work, she sat there and knit, waiting for my father to finish his duties.

My father eyes fell immediately to me while my mother eyes fell on the woman next to my brother. My mother motioned for the guards to move me closer to her side of the room. She then moved to introduce herself, taking my father with her.

"Your highness, thank you for coming to our kingdom. I am King Nikos and this is my wife Thea." Both of them bowed and the G.Q. did the same in return.

"Thank you for having me your Majesty. Your home is dream." She addressed my father first. When she turned to my mother, her smile widened. It was the only thing she did that didn't seem forced. She looked at my mom like she was her idol. "Thank you so much for dedicating that play to me Queen Thea! It was amazing and it means so much coming from you."
