Nirah found that she had wildly underestimated two things about royal life. The first was the number of dinners royalty threw, and the second was just how stressful a dinner could be. Every day, a new function, a new set of faces to entertain with her best impression of a disinterested royal.
Tonight’s guest was the person it would be most difficult for Nirah to prove herself to. Her High Priestess, the High Priestess over Ishtar’s temple and the one who had volunteered Nirah for the task of imposter queen, had never done anything more than point her nose in her direction. Whether because Nirah’s work was lacking or because she wasn’t pious enough, she wasn’t sure she was ready for the answer. After this duty was over though, perhaps she would finally be promoted to a higher rank.
