"Your Highness, the Empress ... the Empress is on her way here to meet you!" Helga said, running into the dining room. "I haven't been here for a full day now, and everyone is here," Evie said, standing from her seat. This was the second morning of her stay, and she was starting it with the Empress coming over to her residence. "I can't catch a break, can I?" she said, walking out of the dining room.
"Your Majesty, welcome to my humble abode," Evie said with a bow as the Empress and her convoy walked into Moonlight Pavilion.
"Lady Elara, is this the first time we have met by any chance?" the Empress said, walking to her.
"No, I wish it was," Evie said.
"What do you mean?" the Empress asked with a confused look.
"We met the day I was escaping," Evie replied confidently.
