Chapter 364. The Talk
Mauve walked behind her father with a puzzled look on her face. About two guards accompanied them.
Mauve found it a little bit odd. It was a little hard to not notice that there were more guards around the castle than usual and there were always two with her father.
Did this have anything to do with the rule of not moving around? Maybe it was what her father wanted to talk to her about. All she could do was wait.
He stopped suddenly and Mauve realized they had stopped in front of the drawing room. She didn’t think she had ever been in this room before now.
The guards pushed the door open and Mauve blinked at the bright room. It was very well arranged.
There were paintings across the walls. There were at least three of the King but they were all exquisite paintings. Whoever had done them knew exactly what they were doing.
There was a painting of a garden and she stared at it a little longer than she needed to.
There were two sofas facing each other, the color was a mix between gold and cream. The curtains were a similar color. The color choice of the room was a bit bright but at the same time soothing.
"Have a seat," her father said, pointing to nowhere in particular.
She nodded and sat on the closest sofa while he sat opposite her. The guards stood behind him, she thought they were a little intense.
"I heard from Galath that you didn’t run into any trouble on your way here and the Aristocrats welcomed you with open hands."
