elfhame was different from prythian. a single king ruled the high court , the king known as high king. it seemed like there were no courts within the faerie kingdom , whereas prythian was broken into several. governed by high lords , not kings , with each court answering to their own. feyre supposed elfhame was similar , regardless of the size & ruler , but it was still ... odd. to see something with a familiar structure , yet different.
perhaps this was why rhysand had asked her to go in his steed. to learn more of elfhame , that or he simply had business. whatever the reason might be , she was here , accompanied by a fellow inner court member. even as they strode into court , sat down in a meeting with the high king , feyre didn’t expect a human to be placed to highly within the court. what was she ? ah , yes , a seneschal. feyre recalled the stories told to her about faeries , & while some might find peace , it never occurred to her that one might actually be in a foreign court.
despite all the questions running through her head , feyre remained collected during their meeting. letting her friend speak for the most part , whilst she chirped in when need-be. after all , she was still new to all of this. occasionally , eyes would glance at the human girl , but she never once asked a personal question , or questioned her presence in front of the king. there had to be a reason , & maybe it didn’t matter much , but it was still unexpected.
once the meeting concluded , feyre remained behind , waiting for the perfect moment to ask the human a question. “ excuse me jude , correct ? i don’t suppose you know where the best place to clear one’s head might be ? ”
