Under the moon - II

The queen did not want Selene to exactly spoil the mission. It was Selene's father-in-law's wish that their future queen be better mingled with people and understood how the world around went.

It wasn't a matter that the mission fails or succeeds, just that Selene gets her lessons on what the outside world is like. "Bring her in," The queen waved her hand and the man standing in front of her bowed to leave the queen sitting alone in the dark room along with her personal guard, who spoke nothing most of the time.

After a while, the man returned with a hooded figure, who had brown hair that bounced as she walked towards the centre of the room. The queen waved her hand for the man to take his exit and, bowing, he retreated from there.
