Samuel entered the Queen's chamber where she helds most of these meetings. He knew from the tone that this was more of a business visit then the familiar one and she was respecting him by providing him a similar environment.
He scanned the area and saw there were many people hiding in various places. They must be members of her secret service there to protect her in case he did something out of ordinary.
He also noticed a middle aged man standing beside her. He had grey temples while his attire was pristine just like what the English nobles wore. Samuel could tell from his piercing gaze that he was not a simple man.
Still, his smile never faulter as he approached the place where the Queen was sitting. He did a perfect neck bow greeting before saying," I hope your majesty is in good health."
"Hmm...my health is fine. It's no problem with me living for a hundred years but I don't understand why are you being so formal to me when we are alone here."
