The many people there greeted him, along with the woman at the center of them all. The Ivory Queen.
Song Meifen wore a white dress that day, with the only color seen on her body the black of her hair and the reddish pink of her lips. Her smile was one that seemed to brighten everyone's day, and she directed it at Alex.

"I'm happy to have met Queen Song again," Alex said.
The woman smiled. "You should have come earlier, Your Majesty," she said. "You truly made us wait."
"I would've come earlier, but… " Alex shrugged.
