"Bienvenu," the king said. "Je suis Boreas le Roi. Et vous?"
Khione the snow goddess was about to speak, but both Anna and Piper stepped forward. Piper curtsied while Anna just remained standing, I knew didn't bow unless she thought the person earned it. I love that about her.
"Votre Majesté," Piper said, " je suis Piper McLean."
Anna continued "Je suis Anna Danvers, fille da Poseidon, et cest Emma Gemstone et Jason Grace, fille da Hera et fils de Ju-Zeus."
The king smiled with a pleasant surprise. "Vous parlez français? Très bien!" Anna just nodded while Piper looked confused.
"Piper, you speak French?" Jason asked. Piper frowned. "No. Why?"
"You just spoke French." Emma said.
Piper blinked. "I did?" The king said something else, and Piper nodded. "Oui, Votre Majesté."
The king laughed and clapped his hands, obviously delighted. He said a few more sentences then swept his hand toward his daughter as if shooing her away.
Khione looked miffed. "The king says—"
"He says Piper is a daughter of Aphrodite," Anna interrupted, "so naturally she can speak French, which is the language of love." Okay, not fair, how could Piper speak french? I don't have any cool powers. Hmph.
"I had no idea. His Majesty says Khione won't have to translate now." Piper said, smiling.
Behind us, Zethes snorted, and Khione shot him a murderous look. She bowed stiffly to her father and took a step back. Oh yeah, who is sassy now, huh Khione?
The king sized me, and I decided it would be a good idea to bow. "Your Majesty, I'm Jason Grace. Thank you for, um, not killing us. May I ask ... why does a Greek god speak French?" Next to me, I heard Emma mutter "Of course, blondie asks this..."
Anna had another exchange with the king.
"He speaks the language of his host country," Piper translated. "He says all gods do this. Most Greek gods speak English, as they now reside in the United States, but Boreas was never welcomed in their realm. His domain was always far to the north. These days he likes Quebec, so he speaks French."
The king said something else, and Piper turned pale.
