The evening was nigh.
Guests were coming in.
Guests from across the continent.
It wasn't the same as the last time though.
After all, all the guests were seemingly our allies.
Except-
"Why do you have that glee on your face?" Marie asked.
An orchestra was playing in the background, as waiters and maids ran around with food.
Pretty colors-
Lots of light.
"I could say the same about you."
She grinned. "Well, I'm the queen, of course, I'd smile." She wore this majestic red dress- covering quite a bit of her body.
Definitely, the most clothed version of her I'd ever seen… ever.
"And I'm the king." I wore a typical suit- a kingly red and black suit with some golden threads and jewels… not my favorite but yeah. "But you're happy because you're the 'only' queen here, correct?"
Her grin widened. "Oh, you know me so well."
Yeah, she didn't bother denying the fact.
