She strolled in before the servant could announce to those in the room that she had returned. Her father's blank face and mother's blinding smile was too much of contrast for her to guess the purpose of this gathering.
The woman sitting closest to her mother stood the moment she walked in, with a twinkle in her eye.
"Miss Krain, I presume." she said, making her way towards amie slowly, as she a.s.sessed Amie from head to toe.
"Yes, quite a good enough figure." the woman said and Amie frowned.
"You are?"
"This is Madam D'huile, Amie." she looked up to find her mother approaching the two with a blinding smile.
"Adrian did not tell you I was coming?" Madam D'huile asked.
"Adrian?" Amie raised a brow.
"Forgive me, I am quite cra.s.s." she said.
"Amie, what is this about?" Mrs. Krain asked.
"The coronation is in two days" was all Amie said. It was all that needed to be said. The coronation is in two days and they will need to be dressed accordingly.
"This is Madam Peele. She is here to help you out with the etiquette during the coronation." Madam D'huile introduced one of the women who stood and walked over.
To her words, Amie raised a brow.

"After being crowned, Adrian will officially announce his bride to the world. Where you will sit, what you role is, Adrian called in a favour with me. Apart from preparing you for the coronation, Preshca here, will teach you as much about the royal line, religion and all that you need to know. Don't worry love; he would not dare throw you to the wolves without arming you." Madam D'huile said.
"Amie, will I be coming too?" Amie heard Allen ask excitedly. To this, she nodded, "We are going to dress nicely and go to the coronation. But, you must promise to behave." she smiled with she saw him nod before leaving with a maid. Her smile fell when she noticed her father leaving without a word. She was not sure what to say to him, so she said nothing. Madam D'huile nodded to the man she came with, who followed Mr Krain and Allen out, a.s.sume-ably to take measurements.
Those that came moved quickly, taking measurements and teaching them what do when they arrive at the coronation; where they will sit and all the rest. Amie listened to Madam Peele till she was lost in the falling snow outside her window. Soon, the sun started to recede from he sky.
"You seem lost. That should never happen, Amie." she looked up to find Madam D'huile approaching her. Only then did she notice that Madam Peele was no more sitting before her. How long had she been looking out the window?
"I apologise." Amie said. To this, Madam D'huile frowned. Amie noticed they had packed up their bags and were ready to go. The entire family stood by the door waiting to show them out.
Amie stood and followed the rest out. She could still feel Madam D'huile's eyes on her as they walked to the front yard where a carriage sat waiting. She knew Madam D'huile wanted to say something when she had approached her before, but she had held back. Amie was not sure if she wanted to hear it either.
"I wonder how much of what Preshca said you had heard." Madam D'huile finally spoke. Amie looked at her blankly. Honestly, she too was not sure.
"You can't falter Amie. You are Walter Krain's sister. You are but a child, I know. But the weight of your ident.i.ty cares not for your age. Remember that.
