“T-This is surely an unexpected turn of events.” Elias had the pleasure of inviting many prestigious guests into his humble estate, but this was far more than he thought he would have to be prepared for. Now he was running around frantically, making sure the manor was presentable enough to receive the Emperor of Elysium. Never mind the fact that he wasn’t exactly sure why Her Highness was even coming to his manor of all places, he didn’t have the time to ponder that. The best flowers and artwork was placed out for prime viewing and there wasn’t a single dust bunny in sight.
The doorbell rang and his heart nearly leaped out of his throat. Two servants went to answer it, welcoming her inside and he did his best to look as presentable as possible. “Y-Your Highness!” He cleared his throat again to regain composure, “My, it is truly an honor to welcome you to my humble abode. Is there anything I can offer you while you are here? Some food and something to drink perhaps?”
