CH-2.(Choice of Words.)

Maya was still lost thinking of the dreadful history of her Galaxy when Madam Hua's voice broke her trance and she finally noticed that Lady Tian was already seated on her throne.

While Madam Hua was bowing to her showing her respect and admiration towards her. Maya understood the situation and she also deeply bowed to Lady Tian.

As her gaze was down she couldn't look at Lady Tian's expressions.

Lady Tian was a person with great patience and caring nature but she wasn't the one who tolerates any type of disrespect. As she watched Maya who was still in her thoughts and didn't notice her presence, she took it as an insult.

The aim of giving her a lesson got rooted in Lady Tian's mind. Although she was smiling yet anyone in the court could see the displeasure in her eyes. One of them whispered in the other's ear, " Lady Tian is surely not happy with the disrespect Madam Hua's pupil showed."

The other one agreed and whispered back, " She surely will teach her a good lesson which her pupil will remember for her life."

Both giggled thinking of Maya's situation but when Lady Tian started speaking everyone in the court fall silent.

" Madam Hua, everyone knows how humble and talented you are--" She took a pause and continued while looking at Maya, " But it seems like your pupil still does not have the basic etiquette."

Madam Hua's smile faded away and her face turned white. Although she knew that Lady Tian was a person of respect and she doesn't tolerate any type disrespect from anyone still she didn't expect her to point it out like that in front of everyone.

She quickly bowed to her knees and pleaded, " Lady Tian, it is Maya's first time, so, please have some mercy for that kid. I assure you that something like this will never happen."

Everyone in the court was looking at the going on drama and enjoying it when Maya's voice echoed in the whole royal court.

Gaining everybody's attention including Lady Tian, she spoke, " I am sorry to interrupt but I want to say something on my behalf."

Lady Tian's eyes narrowed with curiosity and suspicion.

While Madam Hua glared at Maya for not interrupting but in return Maya just passed a generous smile and spoke up, " Lady Tian, the royal lady whose beauty is renowned not only in our Galaxy but in every other galaxy is standing just right in front of me. I was so mesmerized by your beauty that I couldn't even realize my own actions, your majesty."

"So, it's not my fault but your beauty which is graceful and powerful that even a stone could melt seeing your beauty and caring nature." She completed and the whole court fell in silence.

Lady Tian who had a cold expression on her face couldn't help but smile. She stared at Maya for some time when Maya again said while hiding her face in her palms, " Oh Lady Tian, don't look at me like that or else I will also melt from your mesmerizing beauty."

This time Lady Tian laughed out loud.

While Maya was smiling seeing her trick working on Lady Tian, on the other hand, Madam Hua sighed in relief and stood up from her place.

Everyone was shocked seeing how the tables have turned. Lady Tian who was earlier angry with Madam Hua and her pupil was now not only smiling but also laughing.

After some time passed, Lady Tian finally stopped herself and praised her, " Oh Madam Hua, your pupil very well knows when and how to use words. I am very impressed with the quality of hers."

Madam Hua and Maya again bowed to Lady Tian and thanked her, " We are blessed and very pleased that we could make you smile a little, your majesty."

Lady Tian moved her gaze to the side of her where a girl was sitting behind the curtains and stated, " As you know Madam Hua, we asked for your and your pupil's presence in our court. So, the main motive for calling you is to make you two meet my niece, who is also the future Queen of this Galaxy."

As Lady Tian completed her sentence, everyone in court started whispering as it wasn't something that usually happens. From the day Lady Tian brought the princess back, she never let anyone even have a look at the princess.

She was very cautious with her security and the people whom the princess used to communicate with. Due to the curse given by that feminine figure, if the princess gets under the influence of bad people and would do injustice to an innocent then she would also turn into a stone.

But now, she was letting Maya meet her out of all the people who were more powerful and sensible than her.

This thinking offended many of the people present in the royal court but they did not dare to question Lady Tian's decision.

Madam Hua was also known to fact that how Lady Tian was protective towards the princess and was pleased when Lady Tian said to introduce them to her niece which also means that Madam Hua and Maya were the people whom she trusted.

Meanwhile, Madam Hua was celebrating inside her mind, on the other hand, Maya kept staring at the princess' figure.

She was also curious to know what the daughter of King Xíngxīng and Queen Byul would look like.

Maya's trance got broke when Lady Tian invited them to her chamber after the meeting is adjourned.

Both Madam Hua and Maya bowed in agreement and followed up with a helper who lead them to Lady Tian's private chamber.
