Extra pair of eyes
I sat at the table where Dandeline had already started to serve. She had made an entire meal in such a short time and it made my mouth water. It had been such a long, long time since she had cooked for me.
Dandeline, out of habit, stood behind me after serving. My head turned to look at her. "Have a seat. We are not in the castle or something." I pointed to the seat in front of me. She reluctantly took her steps ahead, and I had to wave my hand again for her to finally pull the chair and take a seat.
"It would have been easier to serve," Dandeline murmured.
I hummed in response, "There is enough on my plate. You will have to get used to talking with me as friends." I gulped down some water before continuing, "I might need your help with the mission. Come on, try and strike up a casual conversation with me using my name"
"Princess! How could I?" Dandeline panicked and got up from her seat to bow.
