Crestfallen Throne Room...
"King Dedrick, it's an honor for a Doll like me to meet you. My name is Violet Evergarden and this is Eva Bellalarkie. I ask for your forgiveness for my inexcusable tardiness," Violet apologized humbly with a bow.
"It's fine, Miss Everagarden. I didn't particularly mind whether you came late or early," he replied happily. "Anyway, thank you for coming."
"Still, WE humbly apologize," she repeated with emphasis and looked at Eva stood next to her.
Eva bowed and said.
"I'm sorry, your Highness. It's my fault," Eva followed suit. "Truly sorry."
King Dedrick smiled.
The next words that came from the King's mouth silenced the whole busy throne room.
"It's 'cool'."
SIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLEEEEEEEENNNNNCCCCEEEEE......
Eva cringed a little and her face slightly crinkled up. Violet tried to keep a straight face.
All the guards looked at their King in awe. The two advisers couldn't believe their ears.
The King's eyes moved around frantically over the room...as if saying "did I say something wrong?".
Left Adviser Ballace was the first to come out of shock. He quickly whispered in the King's ear.
Violet and Eva caught a few words that he whispered. Some words like "don't" and "slang".
When the King heard this he quickly coughed in embarrassment.
"AHEM! AHEM! Headmaid Reina Presta, please escort these two women to the Prince and Princess' room," he politely requested.
Eva jumped at the words "Headmaid".
"A maid?!?! I've never seen a castle maid before!" exclaimed Eva in excitement. "She'll probably be very cute!"
Eva formed her mental image of the maid...
"YUP! SHE'LL BE SO CUTE!"
"Eva behave," ordered Violet. "She's coming."
STEP! STEP! STEP! STEP!
At the sound of her name, a beautiful woman with braided silver hair approached the girls.
Eva looked the woman up and down to process the sight before her.
"What the hell?" she cursed in absolute confusion turning her head from Violet to the silver hair woman several times over.
"I am the Headmaid," she said nonchalantly. "You must be the guests."
She bowed before them elegantly.
"I am Reina Presta," she introduced herself. "I'll be taking you to meet the Prince and (if she's there too) the Princess."
