Who: Oonagh & Sidonie Where: The Palace When: July 7th, morning What: Well, when a Queen summons you...you don't really say no.
Oonagh stepped into the Palace, the clicking of her heels echoing against the walls. It certainly wasn't the first time she'd been there, nor was it the first time by any means that she'd been presented to Royalty or the Queen no less. But there was a pressure building in her stomach that made her feel as if it were the most important thing she'd ever done. She tossed back her hair, which had been left down today. She was in something other than black today, opting instead for a buff colored silk dress, embellished like a Japanese scroll.
She smoothed at the sides of her dress, trying to settle her nerves. It was foolish, she knew, to feel like this. But it was as if she could feel her father and sister staring at her, watching her every move to make sure she didn't screw this up.
Oh it was ridiculous. She knew better than this. She could handle this, and any other situation she'd been exposed to. And she knew Mikino wouldn't let her meet with her Sovereign without any sort of crash course in etiquette if he thought he'd muck it up as much as she did. Trying not to pace, Oonagh cooled her heels in a small sitting room while she let someone announce her arrival.
As a door was pulled open, a servant came out and bowed, "Her Majesty will see you now."
