King Altois joined them for dinner in Andor’s private dining room with no one else present. The royal family usually enjoyed their evening meal in the Great Hall with all the other denizens of the castle, something her father would never stoop to do.
Although the meal at the main table and the hearty stew served at the other tables in much plainer plates and goblets did not compare, the staff and soldiers seemed happy to join the family in this ritual that had stood for centuries.
This cozy dining room only seated ten, and it was the first time she was in Andor’s living quarters, but she would soon spend a lot of time here. Like the rooms, a rug covered the floor in a light beige. The walls were paneled with a light wood that was almost white, a crystal chandelier refracted the candlelight, and the furniture was much daintier and more elegant than the thick wooden benches and heavy chairs of the Great Hall. Instead of having wine-red cushions, these were covered in gold navy.
