Chapter 23

"I'm...." She paused and smiled at me.

"I'm Max."

She put her right hand on her left chest and the left hand on her back. "Pleasure to meet you, our Queen Tatiana." She then bowed her head to me.

What?

I think I mis heard something.

"What was your name again?" I faced her.

She slowly raised her head to face me and smiled.

"Max, Milady."

I stared at her with no expression. "I suppose you are the rumored heiress of this throne and a close friend to Sebastian." I said, still no regards of showing any emotions towards her.

She nodded. "I guess you could say that, my Queen."

I walked towards her. "Why must you be here?" I asked while directly looking at her eyes.

"Hm?" She look up to think. "I think Sebastian called me to make me go here if anything goes wrong."
