A Little Demonstration

Breakfast was a disaster, and it was no surprise that King Oberon was the first to leave the table. Islinda was convinced that the Fae would suffer from indigestion for the rest of the day. With the king gone, Queen Maeve took charge, and Islinda knew that this was just the beginning.

"Islinda, right?"

Elena spoke, catching Islinda off guard. She had forgotten that the Fae was even there. Why would Elena speak to her now?

"Yes, that's me," Islinda responded, on guard.

Elena asked, "I'm curious, what is it like living with Prince Aldric every day?"

The spoon slipped from Islinda's hand, but fortunately it didn't fall to the ground. She looked at Elena with a frown, and her question drew attention from the other queens and princes at the table.
