The trio got to the dining hall in just the nick of time, luckily for Princess Octavia, the Queen wasn't out yet neither the Crown Prince.
She met other princesses in the hall—beautiful young princess with their mother or queen by their side and also their maids all stood behind them.
All of them moved with that predatory grace as they all tried to mingle with the next person.
Princess Octavia quickly went to the corner of the dining hall. Having no intention to greet or meet anyone, she stayed there until the queen showed up. Even when one of the princesses tried speaking with her, she politely declined and faced her maid, Amira, who was behind her.
"When is the queen going to show up, Amira?" She asked. She was already bored with the place and wanted to leave and go do something productive. This…the whole gathering stuffs is suffocating the air out of her lungs.
"Very soon, Your Highness." Amira answered with her head down.
