Karium noticed how the Avarian Princess was making her way to the place where he and his sister-in-law stood. He watched her as she halted and curtsy in front of the Queen.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." She briefly glanced around before she turned back to the Queen and remarked, "This is a nice ball."
"Thank you, Princess Yara," Queen Eliana said with a pleasant smile. "I hope you enjoy the tour today."
"A lot," the Princess promptly replied. "Welahan is very beautiful, Your Majesty. It's just like the rumors."
"I'm glad to hear that," Queen Eliana calmly said. "Excuse me," she said when she saw her husband beckoned on her and Karium finds himself alone opposite the Princess again.
"You leave while I was sleeping," he promptly pointed out with no reluctance this time. "Is everything fine?"
She only entered the ballroom now and that means it hasn't been long since she returned to the palace.
What took her so long?
