The Golden Cage

[Loyola]

Enma sighed, it's not like her answer will make her look incompetent. But in this situation, with such a minor and unimportant detail there was not reason to lie and pretend. Besides her lie would be too easy to uncover, which made it absolutely unacceptable. On the other hand, by knowing this Enma would likely improve her image. Whatever, it was too late to learn about it anyway. She moved her eyes away, she didn't know by herself if she really feels like it or she is pretending. "Sadly I don't know, I don't exaclty when you lost your consciousness and how long was your way here. I assume it was a few days. Might as well check the records later if this is that important. " She have lost her dominating tone and now sounded even somehow tired and sad.

Loyola finally checked the communicator, message was informing her tha their dinner will be a bit later than expected. For a moment her face is expressing anger, and eyes are becoming cold. Those mongs, could they stop failing her? Maybe Gauls are generally right about their superiority, if Outcasts can't handle even something simple like this. She's trying to forget it, at least for some time. She looked at Charlotte again, somehow seeking for help. She looked down at princess' feet and slowly moved her look up the her face. There is something in this person, Enma look kindly, shorty licking her dry lips before speaking. "You will be happy to answer? Why do you saying this, if you have all reasons in the world to hate me? Behave with diginity, this is something that I expected from you. No one is aiming to break you or make you to play a theatrical role instead of expressing your feelings and thoughts." Loyola was not sure if she's wording it right, she have decided to switch style and put it in another way. Just in case to avoid missunderstanding that is already existing between them. "No one have a doubt that you will return home, so feel yourself like a guest, because guest your are. Maybe our invintation was impolite, but be fair with yourself, you would not accept it otherwise. " Enma smiled. "And on the side note, you should still think about the punishment for the person that I've mentioned. She deserves it. "

"Anyway, we shall not just stay here. " Loyola made some hand gesture to the other maid behind her. Ideal looking Gallic woman went to open the door into the dinner room to make a preparations. "Your highness if you want to change clothes, your whole wardrobe is here. At least everything that you took with you on this liner." Loyola sighed and walked deeper inside newly made royal bedroom.
