She glanced at Gloria. "Ah… Gloria~"
Gloria gave a proper curtsy and recited the traditional elven greeting. "May the Eternal Grace of the Stars bless you, Your Majesty."
"My my~ This is how you show proper respect." Viessa smiled, turning her gaze back to Liana. "Your cousin knows how to greet royalty."
Liana let out a weary exhale. "Mother, pardon me, but I need to focus on the mission. We don't have time for..."
"No." Viessa's eyes turned serious before softening into a sweet smile. "I'm sure your youngest sister, Lyzia, couldn't wait to meet you either~" She glanced at Gloria again.
"And your mother is also here, Gloria. Genevieve has been asking about you. Surely you wouldn't leave without greeting her, would you?"
Viessa turned and glanced over her shoulder, folding her fan neatly in her hand. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure by now, your youngest sister has already contacted her future brother-in-law~"
Liana let out a long, weary exhale.
