The next day morning…
Lea got ready for the day and came down, looking right and left awkwardly not knowing where to go.
Just then she heard a familiar voice call her name from behind and when she saw who it was she sighed in relief.
"Ria… thank god I found you"
Startled by Lea's sudden enthusiasm Ria asked "What are you doing here?".
"A maid came to my room in the morning and told me the breakfast would be served at 8 in the morning but I forgot to ask her where the dining room was," Lea said a bit embarrassed.
"Then when I came down there was no one here and I did not know where to go or whom to ask"
Ria just gave a light laugh listening to her words and said "Come let me take you there"
"It's just that all of us have a different routine in the mornings so not all of us eat breakfast at the dining table and at this time most of them will be in the training room or busy at work so this place looks so deserted"
Ria explained on the way to which Lea nodded in understanding.
"After breakfast, I will take you around the palace then it will be easy for you to navigate around during your stay here"
Lea thanked Ria as they reached the dining room.
Inside the dining room, the food was arranged in a buffet style for everyone with a few tables around and there was a separate room inside for the higher officials like the queen and her ministers.
As Lea walked in she saw one familiar young girl among the unfamiliar faces.
As soon as Alina saw Lea and Ria enter spoke enthusiastically "Beautiful sister you are here to have breakfast with us as well… come, come sit next to me".
Lea nodded with a smile and walked in the direction of her table.
Looking at Alina's way of addressing Lea, Ria was shocked for a second, and then quickly composing herself she spoke with a smile "Seems like you two have already met, she must really like you to be acting the way she is".
Lea answered with a smile "Yes, I met her yesterday, She is a really cute little girl".
"You don't know her Lea, though she looks very innocent and cute she is a really intelligent girl, she does not get close to everyone so easily"
Lea turned her head towards Ria as she listened to her words and then turned towards the young girl.
As they reached Alina's table they heard a bark near their leg, Misty was waging its tail happily looking at Lea.
Lea bent down bent down and petted it "Our cute Misty is here as well".
Ria also asked with stars shining in her eyes "Wow Alina, when did you get a pet?".
Alina also felt happy and proud looking at the way Ria was looking at her pet "Grandma gifted her to me for being a good girl during my stay at her place, sister Ria".
"Hello Misty, I am Ria, Alina's sweet sister"
"Bark"
Hahaha….
After some time of playing with Misty Ria said "Okay Alina, me and Lea will go wash our hands and get some food for ourselves, you continue with your breakfast".
Alina nodded and sat down back on her chair, tossing the unwanted veggies to Misty while she ate the rest of her food.
On the other side, all the people in the dining room were taking secret glances at Lea since the time she entered the dining room.
Firstly she was very beautiful so she obviously attracted some bees.
Secondly, the rumor of the human girl being brought into their world had wildly spread and this was the first time they got the opportunity to see her.
Lastly, because of the closeness she had with the young princess.
