The unexpected greeting sent a shiver down the princess's spine, a mix of strange emotions swirling within her. It wasn't just the welcoming tone to the evening banquet that had such a bizarre effect on her, but also the name that slipped from the lips of the men—Aideen Valentine.
'It doesn't sound bad...'
With a flustered smile adorning her pink lips, Aideen nodded graciously at the guests, reciprocating the greeting.
"Good evening, dear guests. I am genuinely delighted to meet those who hold such significance for His Grace. I look forward to getting acquainted with each of you and sincerely hope that this evening will be filled with joy for all."
"Now that our previously dull male company is graced by your presence, My Lady, this dinner promises to be more enjoyable than we could have ever imagined!"
