Although people looked like they were watching the performance, their minds were more focused on when Prince Mua Kong would arrive. All this waiting made them anxious. His estate is a little down south, farther than his brother's, Prince Mua Mong's estate, which only took twenty minutes to arrive by carriage. So, they expected him to arrive a little bit later than his older brother. But he was taking too long! Where was he?
At around one o'clock, just when the King and Mua Mong were wondering if Mua Kong was actually coming or not, the second prince's carriage pulled up to the main gate. At the sound of horses hooves' stopping, everyone paused, turning their attention to the carriage that was waiting at the entrance.
A guard rushed to open the carriage door.
