"Opareal asked you out last night?"
"Yes…" Oscar could have refused to answer, but the person he was currently talking to was Opareal's mother, Her Majesty the Queen of Deiss Kingdom. Therefore, he nodded his head silently, though his face remained expressionless.
Her Majesty the Queen appeared to be livelier today. She wore a maxi black dress and paired it with a satin shirt of the same color. A black gauze hat was resting on her head, and its veil covered her face from forehead to chin. Oscar had met with the Queen several times in the castle, and that had been how the Queen dressed ever since the death of her husband.
