Inside the study, the butler served everyone tea. Their discussion was about to begin when a knock echoed through the room.
''Enter,'' Elora called out. The door opened, and Thorn walked in. The twins, sitting absentmindedly, looked over to see a fae enter, and they exchanged glances, wondering what a fae was doing outside their forest.
''Your Majesty, do you need me for anything?'' Thorn asked with a gentle tone, looking directly at Elora and politely ignoring the others in the room.
Elora's gaze softened, thinking, how many staff members would ask their boss if they needed anything?
"There's nothing for now. You can work on the files or join the party," she replied in a kind, patient tone.
''This is my personal assistant, Thorn,'' Elora introduced him to everyone in the room before turning back to the discussion at hand.
Thorn sat at his desk and began working on the files, though his ears remained pricked to the conversation.
