It was only when her mother informed her that Tarah and Wizard Lurio would soon leave to see them that Mineah finally managed to convince Nikolai to go back to the palace. It was almost dark out when they arrived at the palace, and her husband immediately led them to the meeting room where Tarah and Wizard Lurio, together with her shadow maidens and Dahlia were waiting for them.
"Your Majesties," Tarah and Lurio greeted them with a curt nod.
The rest present in the room followed with their own greetings. It wasn't needed, but it was a courtesy to do so anyway.
"Let's begin then," Mineah snorted, suddenly recalling how his brother's face would often look like whenever he told her to send Tarah and Lurio back as soon as possible. "Brother wouldn't want you two out of Ebodia for too long. Dahlia?"
At Mineah's instruction, Dahlia came forth, and she formally introduced her to Tarah who quickly got what she was supposed to do.
"Give me your hands."
