Tempest Kingdom – The Tempest Palace
In her radiant chamber, Queen Lucy stood with regal grace as her royal maids attended to her, each carefully tending to a section of her exquisite gown. One worked on the sleeves, another adjusted the flowing train, while others ensured every fold and seam lay perfectly in place.
They were nearly finished when the main doors to the chamber opened with a soft creak. Mystica strolled in with practiced elegance, her steps silent, her presence commanding.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," she said, offering a slight bow.
Queen Lucy didn't respond right away. She waited until the maids had finished, then gave a calm command, "Leave us."
The maids bowed in unison and swiftly exited. The last one closed the door behind her with a soft click.
Lucy finally turned to Mystica, her voice smooth and unbothered. "You're just in time. I planned to leave in fifteen minutes."
