章節 45: 45. Falling Chair

The guards immediately stood to their feet as he walked in, and the rest of the servants bowed. Mauve did not know what to do and she seemed to be the only one not paying any respects so she stood to her feet.

Jael pulled his seat and sat with a loud sound. Mauve sat down too and that was when she realized nobody had moved. Confused about what to do, she stood to her feet again causing the seat to fall.

Mauve reddened and tried to pick up the chair, but it fell out of her hands with a loud sound. Mauve was on the verge of tears at this point. She tried again and it fell, Mauve wanted to roll into a ball and die. 

The eyes on her back made it seven times worse, she could hear their laughs even though the hall was quiet. She should give up at this point, she knew especially since her vision was blurry but somehow she couldn't stop, not when the chair was still lying on the floor.
