Naria's hands trembled as she heard the word "gift," her heart racing with anticipation. She turned around to face Raiver, the prince she had asked a favor from, and asked him, "My prince, the favor I asked you for, did you manage to bring it?"
The prince smiled at her reassuringly and took her hand in his. "Your best friend was persistent at first, but it's with your maids," he replied, his touch sending shivers down Naria's spine.
Naria smiled back gratefully, and bowed to the prince. "Please, inform them that I will be gone for 20 minutes," she said, before taking her hand back and heading towards the hall, escorted by two of her maids.
As they walked, one of the maids informed Naria that the prince had left the gift in a room with a dark door. Naria's smile widened with excitement as she lifted her black dress and said, "Let's go! I will need your help again."
