I used my instincts and my memory for the last time to find the area where the banquet for knights was prepared. I walked in and all the knights were already there. I took the empty seat and started having my meal silently.
There were no higher nobility or the emperor was present. So it was rather peaceful. A few of the knights were talking to each other but I was not at all interested in conversation. My argument with the crown prince had turned my mood sour.
"Why did you come so late in the race?" asked Josephine as she looked at me.
Other knights who were talking cheerfully turned silent and everyone's eyes sayed at me. I gave a professional smile on my face as i said, "i have lost my way, your royal highness"
I heard them ask.. And mock but i didn't care as i started having my meals again, but Josephine's eyes stayed at me for linger. I knew she was worried but I did not get why?
