VIP Box...
The last to arrive among all those to be inside the VIP box all through the Royal Academy entrance exams, was Tanya Haron who while arriving later than everyone else in the VIP box was still time conscious enough to arrive before the Exams began.
Which meant she was in the box by the time everyone who had stood up in a show of respect for the Empress was back on their seat.
No one deserved any apology from Tanya due to her tardiness, or more accurately, no one required an apology from Tanya other than her mother, the Empress.
Harlyn eyed her daughter with a slight frown while Tanya bowed,
"Mother, I'm sorry I'm late" she said.
Arriving after the Empress could only be regarded as tardiness and a mark of disrespect for her authority.
Harlyn sighed, not looking to make too much of a big deal out of it. Not because Tanya was her daughter, but because she saw no point in doing so,
