Chapter 186: Forgotten Etiquettes

"Your majesty, Archduchess, is requesting for an audience"

"Let her in"

I walked in surprised that we have to waste time here, I was thinking that her carriage would be ready to go when I reach here. But here I was, asking the audience and waiting for her to see me. As i entered, i held my dress and gave her a courtesy bow

"Hail to the glory of empire, your majesty,"

"You may rise, duchess"

"Please sit"

I furrowed my brows when she asked me to sit, I thought we were going to the town.

"Your majesty, i thought we are going to the town" 

"We would have, but as you have heard that day Marianne my brother would come too."

She said and I sighed internally, I thought it was just to get permission,..

"I thought you both would come in the same carriage, or maybe together in different carriage. But I did  not expect that you both would not communicate at all, and he would be left behind while waiting for you."
