Chapter 9
"I am sorry to disturb your royal slumber this morning," she began. "But duty calls and one of such..."
"It is fine," Era suddenly said, cutting her short with a bright smile.
"Ah, yes, hmm." She gave a weak smile and continued.
"Okay before I go to the most important thing. I would like to start by introducing myself." She paused, waiting for some kind of go-ahead from Era before proceeding and when she got a nod. That was her cue.
"My name is Aeverie, your lady royal and the person that is going to be in charge of tending to your needs and right here with me are, Azzura, Aquata, Arya and Alyx," she said, pointing to each one in turn.
As she did, Era mentally took note of their names, nodding her head every time a name was called. "Alright, Aeverie. I’m happy to have you."
"Thank you, your majesty. Now I am not only in charge of your schedules, dressing but everything pertaining to you. For example, I would be held responsible for not waking you up on time to be seated in breakfast before his majesty arrives."
"Oh," Era voiced out a bit bluntly. She already knew the gravity of the situation and why Aeverie seemed to be on edge.
