NYMRA
The court ladies ushered us into the dowager's leisure room. Kewe stayed behind in the hallway with court ladies while I motioned for Jodi to follow me.
There were small sized tables in the center of the room with small bites of sweet food. I wasn't sure what they were but I could smell the fruity sweetness from them.
The Lycan King sat on a chair I assumed was his designated chair and I mentioned for Jodi to take the one next to me. He and his mother exchanged pleasantries but I didn't bother with that. I had no reason to greet her besides the pleasantries shared between mother and son were hostile at best.
The dowager's eyes met mine briefly before they landed on Jodi.
"Who is she?" The dowager asked.
I almost didn't want to answer her but there was no point being the instigator of whatever it was she intended to start.
"My court lady." I replied tone dead because no way in hell was I telling her that Jodi was my friend.
"Court lady?"
"Yes."
