Rudeus had a tray of food in his hands, carrying it into the throne room with a steady step.

He knocked twice on the large ornate door before opening it to step inside.

As he entered, the queen was seated on her throne, looking down on her subjects with a haughty expression.

Rudeus gave her a low bow, placing the food tray on a nearby table before straightening back up.

"Your food, your majesty," Rudeus uttered, his voice clear and firm, yet tinged with the slightest hint of nervousness.
