Chapter 10: First Breakfast As Queen
************
Chapter 10
"Your majesty," she said with a bow of her head, and then looked up, directing her gaze to the others. "Kings and Queens," she paused. "Lords and Ladies, a pleasant morning to you all. Please, pardon my lateness."
All these while, she had refused to center her gaze on him lest her bold exterior crumble before his deep penetrating gaze.
This was her very first appearance as Queen after her wedding and although she did not want to bother with the likes of, Aeverie and the girls decided that she needed to make an entrance that would not only shut the king up, rendering him speechless, but also snag the attention of the others present that they would be too far gone, carried away to even raise any complaint about her.
No one spoke, they were all too lost in her and from the corners of her eyes, she saw as her husband, the king, also forgot speechless.
It was ice cold water was poured upon everyone, leaving her with the single task to wake them or warm them up with something to steal back their attention.
"If my apology is being given consideration, I would love to take my seat."
This time around, she was intentional in her speech as her gaze remained fixed on the king, looking at him deep in the eyes.
There was no expression in his face but that soon changed as a mysterious smirk suddenly appeared. "Well spoken, come have your seat at my right hand."
