Queen Ariadne's POV.
I sat next to the Emperor and he didn't say a word to me. I wondered if he was angry with the way I behaved in the hall way.
"How do you like the party?" He finally broke the silence with a question. I wanted to laugh because this was my first time of hearing him whispered. His authoritative and loud voice seemed so tiny and low. Actually they tickled my ears.
"Quite impressive your highness. I wasn't expecting a party like this" I said.
"I have a present for you" the Emperor told me. I wondered what it was. Maybe a ring, necklace, or an earring.
Many thoughts came to my mind as to what the emperor wanted to present to me. I was very eager to see what he had for me. I was still thinking before he interrupted my thoughts with his question.
"Is something wrong?" He asked looking at me. I shook my head indicating that there was nothing wrong then, he continued "Do you want to see it?"
