camilla sighed. "well, i haven't really had food on my mind but i guess ill be hungry once i sit at the table and smell all of the food," she said with a smile before she walked out of the room and followed the servant towards the huge dining hall.

"that's the spirit," she joked lightly before following camilla and the servant to the dining hall. gwynne glanced around the area and noticed various people she didn't recognize already sitting at the giant table, conversing quietly among each other.

the princess looked out at the huge table, seeing the prince and his mother at the head of the table and many other lords and ladies sitting at the table. "princess camilla, lady gwynne, please sit," henry said to them. she walked towards the empty chair and sat down, motioning for gwynne to sit in the other empty chair beside her.

she bowed her head and curtsied for a moment before taking a seat beside camilla, watching her facial features. gwynne briefly glanced over at prince henry before averting her gaze politely and sitting up straight in her chair.

camilla looked over at gwynne for a moment, wondering if her lady was as nervous as she was herself. "bring out the food!" prince henry called to the servants. the two female servants curtsied before running off tell the chefs that it was time to bring out food.

[SilentMelody]

the woman gazed after the two servants and watched as they rushed off, their skirts flying out from their feet so they could move freely. in the other kingdom, there certainly weren't as many female servants.

camilla couldn't help but notice the number of servants that they had here. of course, they had servants in her kingdom too but they were more free to roam and weren't always being ordered around. she gazed over at gwynne, wondering if she was think the same thing.

[SilentMelody]

at camilla's glance, she cocked her eyebrow slightly to acknowledge it and straightened up in her seat again. gywnne peeked over at the prince again and waited to see if he would make any more attempts at conversation, but he was twirling his spoon in a bored manner.

camilla looked down at her lap when she was sure that henry wasn't going to try to make conversation with her. suddenly, she heard another voice ring in her ear. the voice of the queen. "so, camilla, dear, how has your family been? ive heard that there have been peasant uprising in your kingdom, is that true?" she questioned. she was always like this when camilla had been around her, nosy. she and her mother called her queen bloodhound.

[SilentMelody]

the lady pursed her lips at the queen's question and glanced over at camilla, wondering what her answer would be. she couldn't be honest, could she? that would possibly bring weakness, both to the princess and to their kingdom. gwynne shook her head very lightly, a movement only camilla could detect.
