A COURTIER led Argent to the King's study. The same way another one led Aurum to the royal garden. The two had to separate almost instantly after they entered the palace. Argent wondered what her sister was doing now. She was probably just doing fine. After all, Aurum's interpersonal skills was infinitely better than her.
For the past seven years, Aurum perfected the act of being the sweet and amiable young lady. At first, Argent only told her to act sweet and kind so she could have some kind of defense against the people who would not hesitate to judge her at the drop of a hat. Aurum stayed at a tower for a whole three years. It was inevitable that she wouldn't know how to act around people their age. If Argent didn't tell her to act a certain way, her sister would definitely not know how to interact with others. She just didn't expect that Aurum would be able to continue that act for the next seven years.
