Chapter 51: Morgana's Banquet II - Candidates

Duke Dante stood in front of the queen. Beside him stood Duchess Ame, her striking beauty and composed demeanour making her a figure of grace and authority. 

Evelyne cast a brief look of annoyance and anger toward Ame but quickly concealed it, as it was unbecoming of her as a queen to regard the Duchess of her nation in such a manner.

Lastly, Dilhan stepped forward, his expression calm but unreadable. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his attire, though modest compared to the opulence around him, spoke of careful precision and taste.

All three stood in unison before the queen and princess. "Your Majesty. Your Highness," they said in unison, their voices steady and respectful. But for some reason, none of them bowed in front of queen, which others who witnessed it considered as disrespectful but people knew even though Duke Londor was considered a Duke, his status was far above that so he had the ability to not bow in front of royalty.
