"I believe Your Grace should ask the Lords yourself." Gemi replied with a smile.
Chantria quirked a brow before she shrugged casually.
"Okay, but if this Lord Irvine is already preparing a meal, why do you have to prepare mine? I could just eat what everyone else eats right?" Chantria asked in uncertainty.
Chantria recalled this one movie she had seen about a mermaid, and this mer girl in the movie only ate living fish, like she ate them live and breathing and the thought that she would have a separate meal from others unsettled Chantria.
What if Saint Chantria had some strange diet? Chantria had never been picky about food but she most certainly could not imagine eating just fish for the rest of her life... and living fish?
The mere thought had Chantria shuddering in horror and she made up her mind she definitely could not resign to such a fate.
"Your Grace is willing to eat with the Lords?!" Gemi exclaimed in shock as though she had heard the most unbelievable thing.
"Well, if they wouldn't mind...I guess that's fine." Chantria replied with an uncertain nod.
Gemi yelped in excitement as her hands quickly shot up to cover her mouth and keep whatever other sounds in.
"Then Your Grace should quickly wash up, I will lay out your clothing for the day right after I send word to the Lords to expect your presence at the dining hall." Gemi rushed out in excitement, dashing off as though scared Chantria would change her mind.
Chantria blinked in astonishment as Gemi disappeared out her door.
"She didn't even point me to the bathroom." Chantria lamented in an aggrieved tone, glancing over the numerous doors and other pathways that made up her apartment of a room.
Chantria heaved a sigh as she ventured to the first door, beginning her mission to find the washroom.
After a short time of searching, Chantria finally found the right door and stepped into the washroom.
The hall was tiled with white as everywhere else in Chantria's room and there was a large pool in the center of the hall, it was not large enough to be considered an actual swimming pool in modern time, but it was close.
Chantria checked the temperature of the water first, it was quite chilly but Chantria did not really mind it, she stripped out of her clothing and stepped into the pool, only to have the most unexpected thing happened.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Chantria screeched in horror.
Chantria picked up the sound of running footsteps and her bathroom door came open, Gemi, Amir and the red haired male Chantria had met before stumbled in, glancing around the bathroom in panic.
Chantria yelped at their presence, ducking below the water so only her head was visible as she mentally reprimanded herself for screaming.
Who screamed in their bathroom? Now everyone had been alarmed and stared at her with concern.
"Your Grace! Are you okay?!" The red haired male asked in concern as he and Amir lingered by the door,
Thankfully not venturing in any further while Gemi rushed over to the side of Chantria's bath pool.
"Did anyone come in here? Do we need to call the guards?!" Amir added in panic.
Chantria grimaced at the extreme reactions, uncertain of how to explain the reason behind her sudden scream.
Now that Chantria replayed the event in her mind, her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.
"Amir, get the guards!" The red haired male said urgently when Chantria still did not respond.
Chantria perked up at that, she was already mortified that there were two males in her bathroom while she was partly naked, even whilst knowing one of the two was supposedly her husband.
To think they were even considering bringing in more men to join the parade, Chantria immediately began spilling what had happened.
"I...I was fine, but then the moment I got into the water..." Chantria trailed off at this point,
"Yes?" Amir pressed worriedly,
"Well, my legs got wobbly and before I knew what was happening, I was knocked off my feet and this showed up again." Chantria revealed as she pointed at the massive, 10ft tail which had once again appeared and taken the place of her legs.
Amir and the red haired male exchanged a look and Chantria watched in horror as their lips stretched slowly and while Amir's hand shot up to his lips to stifle his laughter,
The red haired male tilted his gaze to the side to hide the amused smile on his lips.
Even Gemi seemed thoroughly amused by Chantria's revelation.
"Uhmmm... could you all just go back to whatever you were up to? I'll be out in a minute." Chantria murmured in embarrassment as Gemi, Amir and the red haired male struggled to contain their laughter.
Chantria then ducked her head beneath the surface of the water, only now realizing how silly she must have sounded to be so frightened by her own tail.
