"Welcome dear lovely candidates and a pleasant morning to all of you my Faey Courts."
Red sat straight on her chair, applying everything that Ari taught her with regards to being prim and proper in the presence of any nobility or persons of high status such as the queen herself.
"I have gathered you all today to congratulate you on a job well done. To my chosen candidates, it is a pleasure to have finally met you all in person." Servants moved towards the table and poured a blood red liquid in everyone's wineglass.
'Guess it wasn't too early for a fine glass of wine then.' Red thought.
The smell of the liquid was quite distinct. A mix of fruity scent as well as something else she couldn't identify. Queen Tiana raised her glass for a toast and everybody followed.
"May the rightful heir to the crown rise from the ashes of the equally righteous fallen. Long live the Kingdom of Faey!" Queen Tiana said with a grand gesture.
