faes was not surprised when a limousine type car was waiting for them outside the restaurant surrounded by other cars. though they looked like normal cars like back from earth the ones here used mana stones as fuel.
faes blake and adrian got into the limousine which then took them to the central area of the capital city. the city was circular in shape while the centre of the city was the royal palace. whole time faes was silent glancing outside and sometimes observing adrian and blake who were discussing the matter with the noble from the village though blake left out few parts including rosaline.
soon they arrived at the gate of the castle and their ride entered inside. the place was huge surrounded by big garden from all sides while a big building was standing tall in the centre.
the rides stopped at the porch and the door was opened by the butler who even gave her his hand while she was exiting the car. faes was again glad that she had the etiquette skill which saved her from embarrassing herself.
adrian and blake stood straight and serious while faes just watched them trying to figure out where to go now or what to do. soon adrian broke the silence as he glanced at the butler
"is the meeting arranged?" he asked while the butler bowed
"yes your highness crown prince adrian, the meeting is arranged as your highness ordered and his majesty king ladon and her majesty queen nuri have already been informed and are waiting in the meeting room for your highness" the butler said bowing. adrian nodded and glanced at faes who was still looking around clearly observing everything but adrian can sense that she was uncomfortable and it made him frown. why was she uncomfortable? does she not like this place or is she hiding something that is making her keep her guard up? adrian was not like his brother blake accepting anyone and taking them under their care without knowing everything about them and he had yet to accept faes and sky as his sisters.
"princess faes lets go, royal father and royal mother are waiting for us. we should not let them wait any longer" adrian said bringing faes attention back to him. faes nodded and followed behind adrian and blake, followed by two butlers and two knights that were probably adrian and blakes butlers and bodyguards.
faes was indeed uncomfortable but it was purely because of being tired of behaving like a royal. it seemed normal and easy but was not! you have to even watch how you are walking! faes was not used to this but was doing her best thanks to her etiquette skills. she followed adrian and blake with her back straight and head high staring straight ahead. though her gaze was talking notice of everything around her and her heightened senses were helping her keep track of things that were around and the people in the palace. due to her senses she can even tell where a person was and what they were doing.
after going through many hallways and passing many doors they arrived in front of a double door which was opened by adrian's butler. there were already few people outside the door, one male butler, one male knight, one female knight and a female maid and a female butler were standing there when they arrived and bowed to them.
adrian and blake just nodded and entered as adrian's butler held the door open.
faes noticed that everyone was watching her and sky with curiosity but none asked anything. giving them a smile faes also entered the room and the butler closed the door behind her. in the room there were only six peoples now including faes sky blake and adrian along with the king and queen who were aiden's brother and sister in law.
"good afternoon royal father, royal mother" adrian and blake greeted them with a small bow. faes also followed after them bowing like a good girl while now awake sky bowed her head sitting on her shoulder.
"good afternoon his majesty king ladon shadowdragon de reptiliance, her majesty queen nuri shadowdragon de reptiliance, i am second princess of kingdom altai, princess faes monesterio von altai and this little one on my shoulder is known as princess sky mani shadowdragon de reptiliance" faes introduced herself and sky.
the room was like a meeting room from a big company building with a long table in the centre surrounded by high chairs which clearly belonged to a palace. the table held glasses of water and some decorations. the king and queen were sitting on their respective seats at the head of the table and were surprised when faes spoke. they clearly weren't expecting her to come here. faes glanced at adrian once and saw that even he was surprised at her introduction. 'that's right he just knew that papa adopted me and my name is faes! he don't know who i really am' faes realised that she haven't introduced herself properly to adrian but well she was not from this world much less a royal and it would take some time before she adjusted. and faes also knew one more reason for his surprise 'i am back to being a human' faes had stopped her hide zero from making her a dragon and was currently in her human race. in real if she completely undo the hide zero a person would faint just trying to know which race she belonged to!
"greetings princess faes, though we were not informed that you will be arriving here please take a seat" king ladon spoke and adrian blake and faes took their seats.
"its not anyone's fault your majesty, other than big brother blake no one knows who i really am, i apologize for coming without prior notice but it was his majesty former king aiden shadowdragon de reptiliance's last wish that i come here and give you this letter" faes said calling the letter out from her space and placing it on the table in front of king ladon who along with queen nuri and crown prince adrian went pale after hearing her.
