Mirabelle stepped away from Leontis and curtsied gracefully.
Muscle memory really was a blessing.
Her father smiled at her and left after giving a brief bow as well.
The escorts would not be present during the banquet.
Something that would once have been unthinkable.
But among nobles, it was considered a sign of mutual respect.
They trusted that the females would be protected by the High Duchess of Rotwald and her males
"I am Mirabelle of Luchsenstein, heir to the Duchy of Luchsenstein. It is a pleasure to meet you all."
The High Duchess of Rotwald gave her an approving look.
"Was everything to your satisfaction?"
The lynx female nodded.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Duchess. The Duchy of Luchsenstein looks forward to returning the favor in the future."
"We are still waiting for two more females. Then we will begin," the Duchess replied.
Immediately, Mirabelle found herself surrounded by the others.
