Chapter 32

When I reached the kitchen I was uneasy. Gwen may be excited about Ruby, but that meant nothing. Everyone had to form their own opinion of someone.

And somehow I was afraid of messing it up because I wanted to make a good impression.

Who would have thought I would ever feel this way about a werewolf?

Certainly no one.

Gwen stopped in front of the door and looked at me, which I returned. "Should I say to skip the formalities? Because as queen you would be greeted differently."

I looked at her in absolute horror because I wouldn't have expected something like that for a second. They would greet me nobly, as one would do among the nobility, even though I was a huntress who, until recently, they had viewed as an arch-enemy.

"No, it would be nice if people treated me normally." I wouldn't be able to deal with anything else and it would make me uncomfortable.

She nodded with a smile and replied, "That's what I thought and I'll sort it out."
