Chapter 30
"Your Imperial Majesty, your guests are here to see you."
Sigyn looked up from the papers she's working at. She stared at the double wooden door of her office before she averted her attention back to her work.
"Come in."
The door opened quietly and it revealed Eunice na gumilid para paunahin ang mga bisitang nais makita ang kanilang Empress.
The first one to step in is a woman in her 37 years of living, two years older than the Empress. She has an auburn hair color and hazelnut brown eyes, a fair skin and pinkish lips with sharp glare which softened when she saw the Empress' figure.
"It's been a while, Your Majesty." She bowed gracefully as a greeting. "Hardworking as ever, huh?"
"Sit down, Marchioness Daivat." Sigyn didn't even bother to glance at her. She continued signing some papers na kailangang matapos niya ngayong araw na ito. Eunice will literally nag her nonstop if she doesn't.
"Then, don't mind if I do." Marchioness Daivat sat down on the couch bago napalingon sa pinto when she noticed that her daughter wasn't coming in. "Cherish, come here, sweetie."
That got Sigyn's attention as the said girl is going to be Loki and Hera's playmate, specifically Loki's. She immediately scanned the 10 year old girl who entered her office.
Wavy golden brown hair that reaches her waist and brown greenish eyes with a sharp glare just like her mother. She got some features from her mom and uncle, the Duke Ricarda, but she took more features from her father, the Marquess Daivat.
"She's my daughter, Your Imperial Majesty."
The Marchioness walked towards her daughter, holding her shoulders as she introduced her to the blonde woman.
"Her name's Cherish Ricarda Daivat."
"You know why she's here, right?" Hindi na nagpaligoy-ligoy pa si Sigyn.
"Of course, Your Majesty. Nasabi naman sa letter ang dahilan." Marchioness Daivat smiled. "And how can we reject such a request from the highest woman in the empire?"
More like command. The Empress doesn't make requests, after all.
"Then..." Sigyn sighed. "Fred."
The said man suddenly appeared next to Eunice on the doorstep of the Empress' office. He kneeled his one knee on the floor, his one hand on his chest, bowing his head to his Empress, waiting for her commands.
Nagulat pa nga ang dalawang Daivat sa bigla niyang pagdating because they never felt his presence nor heard his footsteps at all.
"Take her to the Third Imperial Prince's palace." Sigyn ordered her personal knight na tumayo na kaagad before guiding the 10 year old kid towards Loki's palace.
"And, Eunice... Snacks for the Marchioness."
"I already got that covered, Your Majesty!" Eunice enthusiastically answered bago gumilid para ipakita ang maid na may tulak-tulak na food trolley with snacks and tea in it.
The maid placed the food and drinks on the table sa mini living room ng office before immediately leaving.
Eunice waved goodbye to the Marchioness bago lumabas at sinara ang pinto, leaving to give them some privacy.
Sigyn let out a sigh after Eunice left. Tumayo siya bago naupo sa single couch na nasa tabi ng long couch na inuupuan ng Marchioness after her daughter left.
"How have you been, Cleo?"
Sigyn brewed their tea before pouring some in a teacup bago inilapit sa Marchioness who thanked her bago ito hinipan at humigop nang kunti. She poured some for herself before sipping in it din.
