Two Queens

"His Highness will be here shortly."

A maid spoke respectfully to the former High Elf Queen, Queen Adeline, and Princess Veronica as the trio was accompanied into a luxurious dining hall. In the center of the hall was a long table dressed in various seafood cuisines, salads, and spiritual fruits.

The ceiling was riddled with chandeliers while the floor was a stretch of transparent, reinforced glass, peering into the depthless lake beneath their feet and a beautiful array of aquatic creatures big and small.

Although Adeline and Valeria had some level of constraint on their emotions, the inexplicable sense of calm as a psychological effect from such a display amazed them. On the other hand, Veronica wasn't so constrained with her emotions; she gasped in shock and gaped at the view of exotic aquatic creatures.

She found them very adorable to the eye.
