XVIII. Huh? This is new

The large arched double doors were opened by the guards and Nä-ræl walked towards the inside of her warm chambers not bothering to say her usual hello to the guards.

The guards raised an eyebrow to them selves then muttered some things under their breath about the princess most likely being in a bad mood.

"Milady are you alright?" The guard who kept the straightest face asked, concern etched on his eyebrow.

"Huh? This is new." She said, raising her brow at the guard.

"Pray tell me what is new milady."

"You look concerned for me." She said softly.

"Of course I would Milady." He said, confusion had now replaced the concern on his face.

"I mean, your expression. It is the first time you've shown it in your expression." She said.

"Oh," the guard muttered and put on his blank face once more.
