the undersea banquet, palace of elfhame.
AT THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT, THE BANQUET of the Undersea begins.
Despite the feast being thrown in their honour ━━━━━━ or rather, at the Undersea's request, no real representative is present. Of course, there is Nicasia, but she's hardly far from home. The Land was more familiar to her than the depths of the sea, as was it's wicked ways. The usual guests are in attendeance too. High King Cardan in a sleeveless iridescent doublet. His hair is tousled and disturbed by sleep and his lips are pink and kissed. Allura tries not to dwell on what kept him away for so long. Certainly not at the winks he tosses at the faeries who sit across him.
Instead, she enters the room with her head held high.
Of course, Allura knew that everybody thought she was crazy.
The Council gossips of her paranoia.
Jude continues to dismiss her claims ━━━━━━ an act of revenge for her public humiliation.
