Caleb helped Elize to get out of the carriage. She curled her arm in the crook of his elbow and then walked in the mansion.

Ivana was completely excited to have the royal couple for dinner. "It's a pleasure to have you here, Your Highness!" she said as she nervously walked to them. Caleb nodded in courtesy and so did Elize. "This is my husband, Jerad." 

Jerad bowed and then extended his hand to shake it with the king. "It's an honor to have you here amongst us," he said with a warm smile. 

As they walked in, Elize noted that the servants had lined up the main hall to catch a glimpse of the king. Soon the soldiers filled the mansion on the outside. Ivana and Jerad made them sit in the main hall where their three children, a son and two daughters, came to meet them. Seated around a central table, they all gave curious glances to Elize whose pale marble skin and red eyes were quite intimidating, but neither said anything.
