Join me for supper

Melody gripped the tray tightly as she carried the dishes to the kitchen. After placing them on the washing counter, she made her way to the common room with Selvina, where all the servants gathered to eat together.

Just as she was about to enter, a fellow servant approached her urgently. "Melody, Prince Izaak wishes to see you immediately."

"At this hour?" Melody's surprise was evident. Not wanting to keep the prince waiting, she hurried to the prince's quarters. Upon entering, she was greeted by the sight of a table set for dinner.

"Join me for supper," Prince Izaak requested, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Melody hesitated only for a moment before walking to the table. The prince graciously pulled out a chair for her. "Please, sit," he said gently.
