"It's just now down the hall ma'am... I hope we are not too late.." she said while running.
I had chosen flats earlier, thankfully, not heels.
So running was quite easy.
With the air whooshing past me as I ran I really thought that I picked up speed just to turn and see that Amelie was keeping pace with me.
Or maybe she was just really fast.
We reached the hall with the meeting and Amelie stopped me.
"We need to catch our breath miss... so the guards do not judge." She told me trying to catch some air herself.
"Name." One guard said to us as we walked up.
Both of them were wearing the same colors as I.
For the kings death.
'Best behavior tonight. I'm guessing this is a feast for the emperor and to celebrate the upcoming coronation' I reminded myself.
"The newest majio, Odessa." Amelie answered for me.
"Right. And you are?" The other asked.
"She is my personal maid, Amelie." I said walking past them both and opening the doors for myself.
They scurried to keep the doors open as I walked into the room holding up my dress.
"Majio Odessa of the... Isthia Empire has arrived!" The guard to my left shouted.
Everyone in the room stood up .
"A majio in the castle?" A tall bald headed middle aged wrinkled white man asked.
I scrunched my nose up in disgust.
"Yes I am a majio. Mister...?" I curtsied as I said this, something the prince had taught me to perfect today.
"Right we" he pointed to half the table besides the prince and Yue. "Are the Rosewoods."
I curtsied again but this time to everyone.
It was at this time I was able to get a good look at everyone.
The tall bald guy was sitting on the left side of the prince while Yue was sitting on the right.
Darius had told me that the left side was an insult while the right side was the upmost respect you could get from anyone.
Taking this information I figured our prince here didn't like this man very much.
As I continued looking I found out why.
There was a whole entire wedding dress on a girl.
At least what I thought was a wedding dress.
The father, at least im guessing that's what he is, and the girl along with the rest of the party was wearing entirely black outfits.
And Amelie just told about this worlds marriage customs.
"Your highness, I apologize." I said trying to get Darius's attention.
