Family

As soon as I arrive at the table, the Queen and King come together, They see the mix of emotions on my face and smile at each other as it clearly was a test to see my intelligence.

I avoid their gaze as my emotions overwhelm me.

"Everyone may sit!" a man shouts as everyone sits down, "The Duke and Duchess of Azure, Your Majesties." "It is an honour to be here Your Majesties. I am sorry that my children and their families were unable to be here this evening," Duke Wolf says honestly. "It is of no concern," the King says kindly, "it is understandable when I did not invite them to this lunch." "Oh," Duke Wolf says nervously, "I am sorry for implying." The King waves his hand, dismissing it.

I shift uncomfortably as the King turns his attention to me. My short black hair barely hides my face.

My family is on the far side of the table. I look at them and everyone notices.
