“Your highness, you seemed to be distracted,” Princess Lily told me.
Of course I am, she brought up Blood loyalty and now, I am thinking of what her condition was. Maybe I should ask the guardians to help me.
“I’m sorry, are you saying something, princess?” I asked her.
“First, you must not call me ‘princess’ anymore, your highness, because I am your lady–in-waiting now and second, your family have arrived and are waiting for you in the audience room,” she said.
“Then what am I supposed to call you?” I asked her.
“You may call me Lily, your highness,” she replied. I stood up, then she guided me towards the room where my family were sitting and waiting for me.
“Sister!” my brother said and hugged me as soon as the door opened.
“Greetings to you too, brother,” I said, then hugged him as well.
“Mother, father… I see that both of you are well… so do you, elder brother,” I said. Brother Rong broke the hug, then he escorted me towards the couch.
