Seren stood up and lowered her head to bow to him. "Y-Your Majesty…" She didn't know what to say further.
Drayce stepped towards her and stood a mere feet away from her. With him within an arm's reach, the sound of her heartbeat was clearly making its way through his ears, letting him know how scared she was at the moment.
"My Queen," Drayce called her while looking at her lowered head, "look at me."
Inhaling deeply, Seren obeyed his words. Under his intense gaze, she felt her throat going dry. His presence alone was making her knees weak.
"May I know what my Queen is thinking?" Drayce asked softly.
"Nothing, Your Majesty," she replied simply as she was not sure herself what she was thinking.
"Are you nervous?" he asked straightforwardly.
