Shortly after Erin departed from the throne room, Princess Juliette arrived there to find her sovereign and her half-brother already present. The young woman did not know quite what to make of the crown prince, having only known him a few short weeks and not spoken extensively yet. She had heard the rumors that he took after their father’s philandering, and seen some signs of it. Juli rather enjoyed the company of attractive women herself, so his excessive conquests did not bother her. But she did not approve of misleading sexual partners, and she suspected Gerrard had many different women convinced that they were the only one that truly mattered to him.<br/><br/>Juli arrived in her expensive and elegant dress, with Nira at her side as usual. “My Queen,” Juli greeted her, bowing slightly—not that she could bend much in her restrictive outfit. “Brother,” she said in a friendly tone to acknowledge Gerrard, nodding. She joined them and prepared mentally for the arrival of the Aserit.
