Cassandra bowed her head in front of the Empress in respect.
Her hands were clenched as she looked at the good waiting for the Empress to give her permission to stand straight.
"You may rise." The Empress said with a smile on her face. She was enjoying Cassandra's misery.
"I was waiting for you." The Empress said as she indicated Cassandra to sit at her.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting," Cassandra said in a low voice as she came near the Empress.
The Empress observed Cassandra's every move. Her eyes moved towards every move of her. Cassandra wore a light-colored dress that flowed with the wind. The room they were sitting in was airy making it harder for the Empress to concentrate.
