"I am quite late. Absolutely late. Completely, utterly late." Princess Callisto muttered to herself while she fixed the pendant of her necklace and a middle kingdom maid fussed with the ribbon on her hair. Callisto has no one else to blame but herself, really. She was so engrossed in walking around the kingdom while catching up with the servants in the castle she forgot about the dinner banquet. Unlike her siblings, Callisto was actually looking forward to meet her match and strike up a good start with him. If she can't learn to love him romantically, she hoped for a good friendship and relationship born out of mutual respect. This was her duty, after all. If this is the only way to prevent more war and violence, she decided that it was worth it.
Standing up from the vanity seat and rushing towards the door, she told the maid, "Please inform Ella that I will go ahead first. I would love to meet with her after the festivities and talk to her all about it. Anyhow, thank you for your assistance! Wish me luck!" Callisto carried her skirts and brisk walked in the castle hallways, towards the doors of the banquet hall. When she arrived in front of those heavy, wooden doors, Callisto stopped, inhaling a breath to calm and compose herself. She noticed another person waiting by the door and Callisto gave him a smile of greeting. He looked like he wanted to meld into the shadows but that never stopped her from talking before. "Hello! Are you waiting for someone? My siblings went in already and I believe they are not going to be thrilled knowing how late I am. Truly, pray for my fate. It is hard to be the youngest. They either love you too much or reprimand you all the time, there is no escape." She talked nonstop then caught herself. "Forgive me, I have the tendency to babble on when I get nervous. It's nerve-wrecking, meeting the person you are supposed to spend your life with."
Callisto turned to the man then curtsied, "My name is Callisto from Alawater Cay, by the way. May I know your name? Do you want to enter together?"
