As the morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of our room, the reality of the day ahead sank in. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the suitcase that lay open on the floor. Excitement coursed through me, but there was a flutter of nervousness, too.
Seraphine wanted me to join her on an official visit to one of the smaller villages in the demon realm. This wasn't just some casual trip this was royal business, a diplomatic mission. And I was going to be a part of it.
The idea of meeting demon royalty made my stomach twist in knots. What was I supposed to say? How was I supposed to act? Sure, I'd been by Seraphine's side for a while now, but this felt different. It felt… official.
Important. I was stepping into her world in a way I hadn't before, and while I wanted to be there for her, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was completely out of my depth.
