Sigrid made her entrance at that moment, stepping into the room, a smile on her face and frost in her eyes. "My love, I have been looking everywhere for you."
Lady Dove bowed, "Your highness."
Sigrid walked closer and slipped her arm into Roland's. "Why are you hiding out here? You are missing all the fun. And who is this? I don't think that I recognize her."
Roland gulped, just a little. "This is Lady Dove....err...."
"Wheatley!!!" Lady Dove exclaimed, a look of alarm on her face.
She had just introduced herself to him, not even an hour had passed and already, he had forgotten her name. How could she compete for space in his life when he could not store her name in his mind for five minutes?
Sigrid almost cracked up when she saw that look of pain mixed with surprise on Lady Dove's face. Next time, she would leave her kingdom and travel all the way to another empire and offer herself up as a mistress.
Outside the door, Mauve and Christie were laughing silently.
