After the Lyssa, Erin, and Lorenso had left the banquet hall there was a relative quiet. Juli spoke to Olivia. “Lady Olivia, I was wondering if you would be willing to indulge my curiosity and answer a few questions about Nydewia. Unfortunately, my whole life I’ve been so focused on the Aserit that I’m not as knowledgeable as I should be about other nations. Perhaps I could give you a brief tour of the castle as we talked, so that I would not be imposing on your time without offering something in return?”<br/><br/>The truth was, Juliette could hardly care less about political considerations at the moment—what she desired was time alone with the beautiful noble. And she figured some things were better hid out in the open. An innocuous sounding request was better than more furtive whispering. And, there was probably no whisper she could make with San next to her that he would not be able to hear.<br/><br/>If Olivia is amenable to the tour, Juli walks with her out of the banquet hall, heading towards an area of the castle that would be fairly empty this time of night. Once they have some privacy, the princess waits a bit to see if Olivia has anything to say before considering if she should speak first.
