Just To Be With You
Xenia was frozen stiff at what she just heard from the king. Her arms faltered, the intensity of his words almost cowing her into submission. It was only when a sudden cough interrupted the scene between her and Darius that she managed to push the intruding king away.
Letting out a short breath, she shakily declared, "I-I appreciate you taking your time to visit me, but my mage and servants are already here to assist me in my preparations. If you'll excuse me, I shall take my leave."
Xenia then quickly signaled for her chamberlain to open the door, after which she hastily walked inside without even looking back. Jayra and her servants followed her inside, shutting the door behind them as the princess let out a sigh of relief.
"That looked intense," Jayra teasingly scoffed. Based on the look the mage was giving her, it was obvious that her friend was fishing for more details.
