Lined in front of the truck are three hovering vehicles with its drivers standing out from waiting for us. The four of us exit out of the truck and approach the soldiers.
"Greetings, Queen Viola and King Alex." A man with an eyepatch places his hand on his chest and bows to us. "My name is Ezera Hound, the captain of her Imperial Highness's escort guards. I was sent to safely bring you to the castle in the capital."
I subconsciously start to hold out my hand for a handshake but immediately freeze when Selene, who stands behind me, pokes my back.
Etiquette, Viola! Remember your royal etiquette! Ugh....
Retracting my hand, I replace it with bright smile. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ezera. I trust that I will be in good hands if the empress personally sent you."
