I followed the staircase down. It was not that far when I reached the end of the staircase and saw a door. I knocked on the door as respect.
*knock knock knock*
"Please come in." The voice of Duke Matias was heard inside.
I opened the door and saw a small room lighted up by a lamp. At the center of the room, were table and three chairs. Duke Matias was seating on one when I saw him and on the other chair was Karolina, Duke Matias' daughter.
"Greetings your highness." Duke Matias and Karolina said in unison as they stood up and bowed upon seeing me.
"Greetings to you too Duke Matias." I curtsied in return.
"Please take a seat." Duke Matias offered me one of the chairs and I took a seat. "I am sorry if we have to meet like this princess. With the crown prince return, he has his eyes glued in you and meeting you with many eyes watching would be difficult."
