On my way to my quarters, I met with Roland and Percival. They were leaving my quarters for the Queen's.
"Your highness," Roland stopped, while Percival continued moving. Now that I was aware that he was the king's brother, I had to pay respect to him.
He was annoying, but I understand, it's runs in their blood.
"Roland, How are you today?" I managed to ask. There was no tension between us yet I was scared when we met in the open like this. If anyone finds out that he offered to marry me on our way to Aerendia, the wedding might be cancelled. We might end up being punished. I did not want that for myself, him or the people of Thule.
"I am doing well, your highness," he answered. "I came to see you but the maids told me you are yet to come back from the tea party. I hope you enjoyed it?"
I was enjoying it before grandmother spoilt everything with her gift. "Yes, I did. Why do you want to see me?"
