Once they were granted permission to enter, Kage bowed in respect to the man addressing them but said nothing. She wasn't sure if she would be punished for speaking out of turn so she decided to let Xinyi speak.<br/>She was nervous and she glanced around the room as they walked in before stopping. The man in the solid black robe was nothing like she expected. She expected someone more like Xinyi who was tough, and bold, but this man was older and seemed more peaceful in demeanor, at least at the first of their meeting.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000FF">Your majesty, It is an honor to be here. Thank you for allowing us an audience.</span>" Hana spoke reverently and with great respect. "<span style="color: #0000FF">Kage Yuki Li, Your grace, your son's chosen betrothed.</span>" She said bowing and holding her hands out in introduction and moved to the side falling silent once more.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF0000">It is a great honor.</span>" she managed to nervously squeak out and bowed once more. She trembled against Xinyi and she looked around, while she was bowed and took in her surroundings. There were a few guards and a couple of ladies and one hidden behind the curtain.<br/><br/>She stood up and looked up at Xinyi and squeezed his had a little, still trembling. She waited for him to speak and what the Emperor would say about their union. She hoped he approved but wasn't sure if she were even doing the right things. This was one world she barely knew anything about when it came to etiquette. She hoped to be taught at least the basics of how to address the Emperor, though she thought maybe it would be alright since she was currently engaged to his son, but she thought she should still play it safe.
