Meeting the King

Cain sat down to drink tea with Noel and her mother, the maid who poured his drink had her hands shaking. If even one of the queens was allowing his presence it only meant he had quite the power behind him.

"How've you been doing?" Cain asked as he looked at Noel.

"I'm doing fine, just arrived here a few days earlier and I've been bored. Have anything interesting?" Noel replied with a smile, this wasn't her first time facing Cain so she was relaxed contrary to her mother who was sweating.

"Noel mind your manners, he might be exhausted from the trip." Her mother glared at her.

"Mom, he gets exhausted? He won't even feel such a trip." Noel stared at Cain with a grin.

"You're right, it was just a week after all." Cain stretched his arms.

"A week from Furberg to here? You must be joking." Noel's mother thought he was joking.
