Holly ushered the guests of honour into the warm main room. The sound of sparks in the fireplace added a warm and family feel. Holly deliberately prepared it to show their friendliness, rather than just showing off luxury.
Helios and Felix sat opposite, while Elena and Holly sat side by side. When she saw how quiet Elena was, Holly felt like accompanying her.
"Thank you for visiting us, Your Highness." Holly broke the mood. She couldn't hope for Felix who was just silently watching.
Helios was still smiling his usual friendly smile. "I'm glad to meet you too, Your Majesty. It's an honour to see a human Queen leads the lycans."
"Lycans?"
"You call it werewolf, but we call it lycan. Doesn't that sound great?"
Holly laughed. Helios was not only friendly but also had a great sense of humour. Even though Felix's face remained flat because he felt nothing was funny.
