Like all the other servants I avoided eye contact but I had different reasons than the rest. The royals then walked in but I refused to look at them. "Let the meeting begin," said the king.
Mare's POV
I was most anxious for the meeting not only to see Cal again but to hear about what was going on. They would be surely talking about the Scarlet Guard and I needed to get as much information as I could to Farley.
"...anyway we have very important manners to discuss," said the king. I was surprised that they let the red servants stay in here while they talk about the Scarlet Guard. They probably want to show that they aren't scared. I finally looked over at them. Cal and Maven looked the same as they did 2 months good, black glossy hair with their heads held high. "What am I thinking? I bet they probably are glad I'm dead. I betrayed them both. It's probably much better for them that I'm gone."
I tuned out for a while when the king was talking about taxes but then he said something that caught my attention. "Now with the devastating lost of Mareena Titaions, - Cal flinches at my name but Maven just stays the same - my son the Prince Maven of Norta has picked a new bride," said the king. "What?", I thought "He's already picked a new bride?" I don't know why I was really surprised though. "My son will be marrying Sonya of House Iral. "he's marrying Sonya?!" There were quiet congratulations all over the room but I could tell that no one really cared except Sonya who smiled brightly at everyone, but Maven.
"Now we have the Scarlet Guard to discuss," continued the king. This got people's attention. Everyone was shouting things, all of it more worse than the other. "Quiet!" the king roared. "I have taken some new measures to show the Scarlet Guard that we're in charge. Conscription age is now lowered to 15." I sucked in a breath of fear. "and there will be a curfew in place and any person who breaks curfew will be sent straight to war, to the choke." Cheers erupted around the crowd at his deadly words.
I held in my lighting. I couldn't lose my temper here. They signaled the meeting over and the servants rushed out. I had to contact Farley. We had to scare the these slivers. I went back to the kitchen and saw a note in my jacket. 'Midnight-the kitchen' it read.
I was suppose to meet Farley in the kitchen at midnight. All the other servants were gone so it was mostly safe to talk here. I shut the cameras off. Walsh joined me and we both skated for her to come. When she got here I told her all about what happened at the meeting. For once Farley was quiet, usually she comes up with some idea right off the bat. "Farley? Do you have a plan?" I said. "Oh I do, your just not going to like it." she replied.
