"Who are you?"
I opened my mouth to answer but no words came out.
"Who are you to be present at the royal meal this evening?" She made it sound like an insult.
"Sister.." Neuron interrupted her.
The princess' gaze left mine and went to Neuron.
"Well, hello there, our dear prince."
Neuron walked towards her and kissed her cheek.
But then the princess stared at me again. "Who is this woman you brought unannounced?"
Neuron turned his head on me. He went back to his seat, beside me.
"She's Rathna. My girlfriend."
The princess' left eyebrow raised up.
I bent my body to formally greet her. "It is my honor to meet you, Princess Ameline, Your Highness."
"So you're Prince Amirson's girlfriend?" She made sure to clarify. Then she faced the prince. "I wasn't informed, how come? When I am in charge of your marriage? From which family?" She continually asked.
"Doesn't matter," came Neuron's uninterested answer.
