"Please, His majesty awaits you," the butler stood at the side of the double doors, gesturing for her to go in.

He wanted her to come in?!! Elaina gulped nervously. She had gotten a glimpse of the people in there when the butler entered and she could tell that they were all high class, she wouldn't even be surprised if members of the upper echelon were in there too. But, the problem wasn't the people but how she was dressed.

Elaina slowly entered the large hall, her eyes trained on the ground. She could feel his intense gaze on her and many other curious gazes. She subtly pinched the sides of her joggers, to divert her attention from the looks she was receiving. She didn't like being the center of attention, it turned her into a nervous wreck!

Mael sat at the head of the table his dark hawk-like gaze watched her like a predator watching his prey and when she came to stand beside him, Sit," he ordered.

Elaina reached out to the chair on his side and a maid quickly came to help her pull it back when they heard Mael speak,

"Who told you to sit there?" he demanded making both Elaina and the maid pause.

Elaina turned to look at him, confusion evident in her black eyes. Did he want her to sit on the floor?

A smirk curved up his lips then he moved his chair back a little and tapped his lap. "Sit right here," 

Elaina's and many others eyes widened and the sound of clattering cutlery echoed through the hall. He wanted her to do what?!
