"Where is my queen?"
"In her personal meeting room." Thomas answered the moment he came back to meet me after going on a quick errand.
"Is she expecting someone?" I asked and frowned as I adjusted the buttons on my shirt while walking out of my chamber.
"Yes," he answered.
"Do not tell me you do not know who she is meeting with?" I asked in warning and Thomas gave me a dull look.
"Do you also want me to become your errand boy, your majesty?" He straightforwardly asked and I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling because indeed I had stressed him.
"But you should know," I went on to say as I walked ahead of him in pride.
"That is true. It turns out I do know who she is meeting with," he sarcastically answered and I played along.
"Do tell," I permitted him with my back against him as four guards walked at our back.
"Lady Peculiar," he answered and my mood soured instantly.
I came to a standstill and turned sharply to look at him.
