The booming laugh of the King filled the room as he clapped for the musicians and the staff as they joined the royals in the dining room.
Without missing a beat, some of the servants walked right over to Maria, pulled out her chair, and lifted her up to join them in the free space next to the table.
Some clapped with the beat and most cheered, but all of them were smiling and excited to get Maria to join them as they danced around her.
The music from the lyres, flutes, and drums filled the air, and Maria giggled as all of the important people that had been with her all of her life celebrated her.
Dimitris danced his way over to her and grabbed both her hands before the old man spun her around and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
Every one of them took time to greet the princess while they continued to dance, and then two of the younger female staff members went over and grabbed Arthur.
