"Lady Nina!" Primrose released Edmund's hand and rushed toward Nina, afraid that if she didn't hurry, the woman might disappear into the crowd again.
Lady Nina Varellian flinched slightly when someone suddenly shouted her name inside the auction house, the sound echoing through the hallway.
She turned around, looking at Primrose with a confused expression since she had never seen the Queen of Noctvaris in person before. But the moment she noticed Edmund walking right behind Primrose, Nina immediately straightened her posture and bowed politely.
"Greetings, Your Majesties," she said with perfect grace.
[I didn't expect them to actually come and find me here.] Nina spoke in her mind, clicking her tongue in annoyance even though not a single trace of displeasure showed on her face.
[I tried so hard to avoid the Queen of Noctvaris, and yet she just kept sending me letters.]
[Why does my father insist on making me her lady-in-waiting? It's not like I'm good at serving anyone!]
