"Ahem!" I cleared my throat, and she finally moved her eyes to me.
"And you are?"
Seriously?
"Do you expect me to believe that you don't know me?"
"Such a disrespectful tone. Do you speak to your elders that way? Can't blame this old woman for not being familiar."
Guilt tripping now?
I have just met her for one minute, and she's already by far the worst King I had met so far.
"Nico..." I said, knowing he was behind me. "Please take Esme to the car."
"As you wish, Milady."
I felt her hand slip from mine, and I waited until they were inside.
"Apologies... I should have introduced myself if I knew it was necessary. Given our history, I thought we were already familiar."
She raised an eyebrow, and I could tell she was irritated because I hadn't switched my tone to respect. She can dream on.
"My my..." She murmured before clicking her tongue. "You're an impulsive one."
The most acceptable thing I have ever heard her say since I met her.
