I stand in front of Frazier, my face hard and unyielding. I had asked for this meeting so I could address his behavior towards me at the tea party. This is not asserting dominance, but rather, I want to know how much he knows.
"Good day, master!"
He is about to embrace me when I raise my hand to stop him. "Frazier," I start. "Your behavior at the tea party was inexcusable."
"Oh, so you're here to castigate me? Rather than to light the flame between us again?"
"Address me as your queen," I scold. "Whatever happened between us was already the past."
He takes a step back and clears his throat. "My apologies, my Queen. I should not have spoken to you in such a disrespectful manner. It was wrong and foolish of me."
I nod, not entirely satisfied with his apology. "The Ramson family has always been with the Dunnett's and the royal family. If you continue acting like this, I will start to assume that… that is no longer the case."
