While I was awkwardly sitting beside Rivenn, trying not to show my fear, Onyx was spread out on one of the benches opposite me with no care in the world.
Prince Rivenn gestured with his hand to the nearest maid that was standing just outside the gazebo. I was instantly alert thinking it was an order to arrest me and throw me in the dungeon.
Riven's gesture was met with a flurry of activity from the palace servants, who immediately sprang into action. Within minutes there were maids parading down the garden with trays. I was shocked to find the trays filled with sweets. They scurried back and forth from the kitchens; each one is laden with an array of confections that would make any sweet toothache with delight.
