Tea party gone mad

Third person's pov:

|• Aurum looked at herself at the mirror, this the 20th time she wore a dress like this, all she ever wear was the traditional clothing of her family. Aurum clipped the necklace behind her neck, her earing dangling on her chest.

Earlier Jeremy came to her room with her earing on his hand, the earing Lant ripped out of her ear. She decides to make it a necklace instead so she made a small golden chain out her limited magic.

"The dress suits you"

Aurum turned around to face the voice, she nodded at Roxana.

Her dress was simple yet formal, it could even be mistaken as a uniform.

Aurum followed Roxana out of her room, she just found out that one of Lant's many wives is hosting a party, and she was invited. Aurum became hesitant of course, but Roxana was with her so she's not that worried.

As long as this tea party stays normal, then she's fine.

Once the two ladies reached the table, Roxana was the first one to speak. "It looks like we're last to arrive"

Lady Maria immediately turned to them with a large grin, "Welcome, Ana! Oh my, my future daughter in law has come!"

Aurum blinked, 'Is she perhaps Jeremy's mother? What a bubbly personality', she thought. But maybe she was wrong.

"Now, come and sit over here", Maria greeted.

On the side, is a woman who's wearing blue, long blonde hair and blue eyes. Aurum noticed how she resembled Roxana, 'perhaps her mother'.

"Thank you for inviting us", the two said in usion.

Sierra looked worriedly at Roxana, "Ana, I didn't know you were coming, you should've sent a word in advance", she said.

"I wanted to keep it a secret, sierra", Maria interfered, "As such, the gift will be a surprise".

Aurum thought there was something...odd about this woman. So cheerful and bubbly yet so... sinister, at thus point she's not surprised if everyone from Black Agriche are mad.

As the two ladies sat next to each other, and Maria passed a cup of tea to Aurum, "Here you go darling, get whatever you want!", she insisted.

"It would've been more fun if Ana had also brought her toy here", Maria sighed disappointingly, leaning her head on the back if her hand with a sigh.

"My toy is wary of strangers, it may even bute the people it knows", Roxana replied.

"Ah by the way, how's you and Jeremy, Aurum darling?", Maria turned her attention to Aurum, and every lady followed. Roxana also turned her eyes on the amber eyed girl.
