Meissa was… stunned. Her body trembled when Rigel yelled at the guards to bring the maid. She turned her head back to the girls who were standing in front of the carriage and then to the Draka flag that was fluttering on its roof.
She couldn't understand the whole scenario. "Who are you?" she hissed at the servants as she heard heavy footfalls of the guards behind her.
The one standing in the middle stuttered, "We—we are from Draka. We have brought a message for Prince Rigel from Princess Lerna." She showed her the scroll that she was carrying and it was sealed.
Meissa grew extremely jealous. She wanted to snatch the scroll from them to read the message, but with Rigel behind her back, she couldn't even lay a finger on it. She growled at them and then picked her gown up slightly to run up the stairs. She rushed to where Rigel was standing.
The guards had brought the maid who had handed her the tea. She was trembling with fear.
