Candle-lit Afternoon Tea

Ever since the invitation had arrived, Laina had been counting down the days to her departure. Once again, just like last time, she ensured all of her work was done to the best of her abilities before she was set to take her leave. 

She had asked Colette to come along for the trip but the young child politely declined, citing a strong fear of dragons as her excuse. Laina did not think too much of it, though she did her best to persuade the child. 

"At this point, you might as well bring your entire wardrobe with you," Dante chuckled. 

The Crown Princess and the King had been in communication through the special pendant ever since the invitation arrived. Laina fussed over every single detail, wanting to make herself look as presentable as she could during her time in Dracona.
