Shivani - Castle Tepes

Shivani began heading for the stairs, stopping halfway to turn back to the queen. "I don't know the way." she sighed. "Can you lead me or should I ask one of the maids?"

She was half-hoping the queen would tell her to ask one of the maids. Most of them seemed really cute and probably wouldn't mind a couple compliments.

Then again, she was also half-hoping the queen herself would lead them. She seemed to be the kind of queen who was not only proactive in any situation but a skilled fighter as well.

She quickly thought over the two options as she waited for the queen's answer.
