"The Crown Princess has arrived." Announced the guard at the door. With a thud, the door opened and Myrtle walked in, She was wearing a sea green belted draped gown. Her hair was wrapped in a low bun and a regal decorating her head. Not many people were in the room to witness her elegance, but the King's proud gaze was enough. He was looking at her with proud eyes as if he had chosen the right horse for the run in the race. Myrtle walked in closer and stepped up the three stairs that lead to the king's throne. When they were at the same height Myrtle held the seam of her dress and bowed a little.

"Greetings Your Majesty, It is a pleasure to have you back after such a long time." Her words sounded genuine and made the King smile in a fatherly manner. 

"It seems like the Princess is the only one who is pleased with my arrival." His tone was a little pleased.
