"Oh, yes. I apologize. I dropped it in the night and would have cleaned it myself had it not been so dark."<br/><br/>A knock at the door.<br/><br/>Lavern answered and went into a deep curtsey as the King's voice drifted past the doorway.<span style="font-style: italic">“I wish to enter and speak with Lady Genevieve please.”</span>Genevieve rose to her feet and flung her robe around herself as Lavern let the King in. "Your Majesty." She curtsied along with her Lady's maids while holding her robe shut in her left hand. Yes, he had seen her bare as the day she was born, but there were others in the room and it would not do to seem improper.<br/><br/>A blush flushed her cheeks when the King's gaze fell upon her and Genevieve brushed a tussled strand of hair behind an ear. He was so ruggedly handsome with his bedhead and wild eyes. Of course, she could not banish his appearance from the night before from her mind. "I pray you slept well, Your Majesty." Mildred spoke, noticing he was still in his nightwear. Genevieve's blush deepened further. Perhaps piecing things together, or perhaps not, Mildred gave another curtsy and pushed Lavern out of the room with a giggle. Lavern looked confused, but gave a rushed curtsy at Mildred's urging.<br/><br/>"I apologize if I overslept, your Majesty, but it seems you did as well." A quiet laugh. Genevieve went to the small marble table and took one of the 3 chairs while tying her robe at her waist. She motioned for the King to join her. "Have you brought me breakfast? That was kind of you." She hid a yawn behind a hand.<br/><br/>Elenore entered through the opened door with a silver worked tray burdened by a pitcher of coffee, one of tea, 2 cups, and some plates with cutlery. She was a bit surprised to see the door open, but after taking in both Genevieve's and the King's appearance, frowned just slightly. It was improper for them to be alone in her chambers, much less in their night clothes. She served them both their drinks and breakfast before withdrawing to the corner, her hands folded at her waist.<br/><br/>Genevieve took a drink of the tea handed her. Perhaps she should wait for the King to say something? After waiting for the King to begin eating, Genevieve ate with enthusiasm. The night before had left her absolutely famished.
