The palace was finally quiet after all the arguments and fights.
King Ryker decided it was time to sit with his two daughters and speak with them properly.
He called them over and motioned for them to sit.
Rhynera sat close to her mother, holding on to her arm like a frightened child. Even though her mother was currently mad at her for the mistake she had made.
She wanted to cry and confess how badly Prince Adam had been treating her, how his anger made her afraid.
But with Lumina sitting across from her, she stayed silent.
She did not want Lumina to hear her troubles and turn them into a joke later.
King Ryker on the other hand looked at both of his daughters before speaking up.
"How do you find the Drakonis realm?" he asked, his voice calm but expectant. For a moment, no one spoke.
Until Lumina broke the silence answer softly, "It has been going well."
A small smile appeared on her lips as she thought of Ashen and the moments they had shared with him.
