Meeting

I stood in front of the door where the royals and nobles were probably discussing mine and my sister’s future. I raised my hand to knock, but I hesitated. Even from here, I could hear inaudible yellings and growls from a certain beast-men.

I was pretty sure that it was Ren and Dan.

“Are you sure you want to go inside?” Ace was stood beside me. His eyes were looking at me with worry, not because of my decision, but whether or not I can take the pressure that I would be put through.

“Not gonna lie. I want to run away from here as fast as possible, but that would cause more trouble instead. And how can they respect a princess who just hides under the shadows of others?” I said it after a sigh.

“I’ll go with you then.” He offered.

I bit back my lip before I laughed. “Thanks, but you’re not yourself yet. I don’t think there’s anything you can do.”
