ii. Daisuke: The Banquet

"Queen Maru, please you must attend the ceremony. It was the king's birthday, you should be seated by his side." My old handmaiden, the only one who was left loyal to me forced me to attend.

I frowned, thinking about the scene where she bearly cried just forcing me to get dressed. She keeps saying I should reclaim my position, which is to remain by the king's side.

It was shameful really, I knew what will happen. I will be left once again as they danced the night away, I am sure.

I entered the throne room and was taken aback by how magnificent it is. Pillars of gold and walls that reflect diamond chandeliers blinded and enthralled me.

After I entered I saw her seated by his side, they were whispering something as if they were lover's secrets. Ah, this girl did not even have the decency not to see in the throne that is not hers.
