One of the maids currently serving them dinner leaned to refill her cup with wine.
Wish turned to the woman and smiled at her softly in appreciation. The maid bowed her head and continued to serve her the main dish before moving over to place the golden goblet of preserved blood before the king.
Once they were done, they all curtsied before them and left them both alone in the dining hall. Malachi did not touch his food, and Wish took a small sip out of her wine and loved how delicious the taste was on her tongue. The silence that ensued between them did not bother her one bit as she continued to enjoy her food in bliss and endured how the king watched her instead of focusing on his plate. His hands were on the table as his gloved fingers rested under his chin in thought as he stared down at his girl and watched her eat.
A lot of thoughts were running through his head all at once.
''How is… the queen?''
