Confronting the Crown Prince (1)

"Greetings to the future son of the Jennovian Kingdom." I curtsied.

"Rise, my future moon." Gladiolus walked towards me. He took my hand and kissed it affectionately. "Come, let us eat."

Gladiolus escorted me gently to my seat and helped me settle down. After that he took his own seat and waved to the maids to prepare the dishes. Breakfast was laid on the table carefully by the maids and they stood by the side after.

I quietly started to eat my breakfast in peace not looking at Gladiolus as much as possible.

"The palace is quite lively today." Gladiolus started conversing. "It is Satiana's coming of age ceremony after all." I nodded with his words.

"I am very grateful to Duke Matias, having him sponsor and arrange this for my little sister." Gladiolus continued. "I was so busy with the war that I wasn't able to take care of her at all."
