Centre Of Attention

Laina let out a sigh as she took a sip of her tea, Dante had only just left the day before and she was already missing him dearly. She felt so guilty to push him away. 

"Crown Princess Laina, Queen Victoria seeks your presence in her study," a messenger came to inform

her, drawing her out of her thoughts.

"Lead the way," Laina ordered as she followed the messenger with Florin and Kol in tow. 

Unlike her palace in Kinshearth, the Wolfenheim palace decor was much more ornate and extravagant. Statues of werewolves decorated the hallways alongside large paintings of heroic feats. 

"Ah Princess Laina, you're here," Queen Victoria exclaimed with glee as she looked up from her paperwork. 

"You wished to speak with me, your Majesty?" Laina asked as she took a seat before her.

As the door to the study closed Victoria placed her hand on Laina's as she said, "Oh no need to be so formal! We're friends, are we not?"
