: Banquet with the Royalties

 I feel someone tugs my hand. I look at my side and find Rufus looking at me worriedly. "Are you okay? You look nervous."

 I just arrived at the palace, and Rufus decided to wait for me here because he doesn't trust his temper around Prince Fraser. That's why he was waiting for me to arrive. 

 I look at Rufus and sigh. Nervous? I am more than nervous. I feel like I'll be having an anxiety attack any minute now. 

 "Do I look like I'm okay? If it weren't for her majesty, I wouldn't even want my silhouette to be seen in the palace tonight." 

 Rufus offered his arms to me, which I accepted immediately. I need some support. I really feel nervous seeing Prince Fraser. With his temper? I'm sure he will definitely get back at me.
