DEFIANCE

" Welcome Your Majesty" Luna was polite but I could sense the tension and anxiety that was bouncing off her body.

" Thank you Luna" I responded with politeness and Advisor Maxwell raised an eyebrow at me in question I winked at him and heard the snicker from General Emmet who stood behind him.

" Our home is small, your majesty," Drusilla whispered.

" Yet warm and comfortable " I counteracted her words and saw a small smile play on her lips.

We settled in the living room after Drusilla showed me the room that they had prepared for me. The scent of Cedric filled the room and I knew this was his. I knew that Luna knew the nature of my beast and did not seem to rush to prepare food.

" Can I offer you a drink, your majesty ?" Luna asked.

" That will be kind of you " I smiled and crossed one leg over the other.
