Back in Valentina's room, Julian and Nadya were trying to find the perfect dress for the meeting. Something not too much, but also not too little. Lucky for Julian, Valentina used to wear wigs and corsets a lot for such meetings, and she was the same size as him, so they didn't have to worry about Julian looking like her. Nadya dressed him up and transformed him into his sister. He looked exactly like Valentina.
But he was still very worried.
Julian: Are you sure about this Nadya? What if I say something stupid and they realize that it's me?
Nadya: Don't worry about anything, Julian. I trust you, you'll be fine. Plus, I won't leave you alone, I'll be right by your side the whole time. I am your lady-in-waiting after all, my queen.
J: Ha, you are very right, I completely forgot. I can't believe this. I look at the mirror and I see my sister.
N: I know this is crazy, Julian, but it has to be done.
J: I know, Nadya. There's no other way.
There was a knock on the door. A servant came in to announce the arrival of Gre'Jyon, his wife and his entourage. Nadya thanked the girl and took Julian to the dining hall, where the meeting would take place.
J: Well, this is it. Let's hope for the best.
N: So their names are Gre'Jyon and Grea'Daen and they are thr rulers of Zarlya.
J: Their names are Gre' and Grea'?
N: Gre' means king and Grea' means queen in the elven languages. It's elven tradition for royals and other title holders to use their title in their name. So they will be calling you Grea'Valentina throughout the entire meeting, and your should do the same.
J: Great, so now I have to worry about titles, too?
N: Come on, Julian, don't act like a baby, you're a grown man.
J: Right now I am a grown woman, Nadya, and it's not as easy for me as it is for you. This is my first time as a woman, you've been doing this your whole life.
N: I know Julian, and you're right, but this is really important to mess up. One wrong move only could lead to conflict and war.
J: Thank you for the vote of confidence, Nadya.
N: I'm sorry but it's the truth. You need to be extremely careful from now on. As soon as you walk through that door and into the meeting, you're no longer Julian. You are queen Valentina, ruler of the High Lands.
And with that they opened the door of the dining hall and walked in.
