Iftia: Royal Palace, Outside the Banquet Hall
• Elizabeth •
"Elizabeth, it would only get colder through the night," Finneas reminded softly. "Please return to Krystal Palace soon."
Elizabeth paced outside the banquet hall for a long while now because she had been waiting. However, it seemed that her wait was going to be a futile one. Sighing, she turned and pivoted her feet towards her carriage.
Just at that moment, the heavy door leading to the banquet hall was pulled open and Rowan appeared right through. Whipping herself around, she saw him striding quickly towards his carriage and she hurried called out to him from behind.
Startled, Rowan's feet immediately halted to a stop and he turned around, his eyes wide with surprise but he quickly composed himself. Bowing slightly, he greeted politely, "Her Majesty of Thethia."
"Is it too much to have you address me as Elizabeth?" she sighed a little. "I stopped you for a small request if you don't mind."
"We no longer stood on equal rank, addressing you by your name would be inappropriate," he responded simply. "Please do tell and I shall help if it's within my abilities to provide assistance."
"I heard you calling Tazin by his name, Rowan. There's nothing inappropriate about it and if anything, we're going to be in-laws soon," she huffed out a small laugh and paused a little. Unsure how to express her thoughts, she tangled her fingers together and her voice had a nervous crack when she asked, "If it's allowed, I would like to see Elianna."
Ahead of her, Rowan fell silent for a brief moment and she knew that she shouldn't have hoped for much. Her shoulders slumped slightly from the disappointment she felt as she turned around, ready to leave when Rowan mentioned, "I'm afraid I can't make the decision for her but would you at least allow me to lead the way to Lyx?"
"Of course! I would appreciate that," she quickly added. The anticipation in her had bloomed and she quickly turned to Finneas, not caring that she was actually gripping on his arm as she exhaled excitedly, "Finneas!"
"Your Majesty," Finneas coughed in a reminding manner. Elizabeth quickly let go of her hand and giggled softly. Lifting her skirt, she walked swiftly and got onto her carriage. The horseman was instructed to follow behind Rowan's as they made their way to Lyx together.
Finneas carefully held onto her and supported her down the carriage while Rowan stood in front of her and addressed her politely, "Elizabeth."
She lifted her head to meet his gaze, pleasantly surprised that he had willingly called her by her name. She smiled, "Please do speak your mind, Rowan."
"My betrothed may not be in her best condition to accommodate a guest, I would ask for your understanding to not hold it against her."
"Rowan," she laughed lightly. "Do I need to also remind you that your betrothed is my sister. She doesn't have to uphold any formalities with me."
