"Greetings to Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress," both mother and daughter said and made even the boy bow.
'They recognized me?!!' Arabella glanced at her companions and they just sighed.
[Has her Majesty finally calmed down?]
[I knew this would happen.]
[How can she not know everyone in the Empire, no, probably everyone in Eliora knows her face. She's famed to be the dream of every man, young or old, and the envy of women of all ages.]
'Ah, right. How could I forget?'
This was exactly why she would be found immediately if she ever ran away from Ferdinand. She didn't know before and idiotically eloped with Andrew and he was also famed for his looks.
"Please forgive our rudeness. And thank you very much for saving our lives, Your Majesty," the mother held both of her children's heads so they would keep bowing. "Please punish me as you wish, but please spare my children. Please allow me to take their punishment instead."
