The gigantic and ruthless warrior, Rundas, also sits right beside them. They must have been lanpressed by his vicious performance, the lamail smile on his Lace must be a reaction to their esteemed praise.
“I feel greatly honoured by the invitation, but Thad however promised to dine with my dearest friend. I lie gesturing at Ezra who stands by my side. “I like to keep my word, sir.”
“I understand, Your friend can come sit with you at the table. I am sure none of our kings or their guests will mine The man regionds.
“That is surprisingly kind” I say, genuinely suprised that there is a chance the angel kings won’t mind a commoner unknown to them to sit and dir at that table. “I wish I could accept the offer, but I wanted my friend to freely enjoy the delicious dishes without fear of offending the royals with his munnerisms.” I say, attempting to politely turn down the invitation once again,

queen
Making up another excuse to turn down the invitation will definitely make my unwillingness suspicious
“Okay, let’s go meet the angel kings” I say, hoping that none of them will recognise me through the veil
Both Erra and the assistant of the kings gladly smiles. “Please follow me.” He says and starts to lead the way to the table,
All eyes at the table turn towards us and my stomach churns. I see curiosity in each of their eyes. They smile amiably, except the queen whose intense glare makes the skin of my face sting.
There are only a few unoccupied seats at the talle, some too close to the kings.
Kumulus rises and interjects my passage to the empty seat between two guests warriors. I get startled until he speaks.

I shake it. “Nice to meet you too. Mr…“1 trail off as I recall that I do not know his second name.
“Blackwood” He delightfully supplies, holding onto my hand.
“Please allow Miss Hangings to first have a seat.” The king’s assistant says and the giant finally releases my hand and steps back.
The assistant carries on to the empty seat next to angel Fenris.
“This seat was reserved for you” He informs while pulling it back for me to sit,
For a brief moment, I am too astounded to move. Why on earth would they have reserved that seat for me instead of one of the foreign kings sited too far from the angel kings 1 am sure the angel that loathes humans more than trash wouldn’t be thrilled to have one sitting next to him.

The angel rises to his feet, the most enchanting of smiles on his soft lips. His unnerving gaze sentes on my face. I shiver, wondering if he can see through the veil
“Welcome, Miss Hangings. We are most honoured by your wise presence. He says, picks up my hand and kisses the back of it.

I settle down on my seat, but the next angel, Comad, holds out his hand. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Hangings, Your courage, wits and skill are an inspiration.” He compliments, his stile seeming genuine and a bit bewitching
Seems like they only loathe humans when one is their mate,
Their queen’s rage surge with every sweet word they utter
My breath catches as tus piercing eyes seems to be staring right at my face through the veil. I am afraid to unter another word in my voice, but I do not have a choice but to speak,
“I like the voices of our talented musicians more.” She says.
No one pays her attention, not even her husbands, But I use her statement as an excuse to not respond to her husband’s earlier comment.
“I was looking forward to seeing your face, is there a reason you close to hide it behind a veil Angel Conrad inquires.
My heart starts thumping wildly. Ezra did say that they would be anxious to see my face after that light, but I didn’t think they would be bold enough to question my decision to hide it behind a veil
A servant places a glass of wine on the table in front of me and I immediately pick it up and take a huge sip.
