His calm demeanour shattered into pieces when he clearly saw the one who was sitting near the King of Aur. Isn't this the person whom he had been missing for 5 years? Why did she appeared here, moreover why was she beside that man?
Didn't she said she'll wait for him?
He wanted to rush forward and pull her from that man side and ask her a lot of questions but before he could do so, the king rose up, extended his hand towards the lady and escorted her down to the center. Apparently it was the time for the first dance.
Before he could think more, suddenly there was a commotion outside of the palace and a group of masked people barged in.
Before anyone could react, a thick smoke filled the air and panicking sounds were everywhere. After a while when the air became clear again, they saw the king of Aur was crouching, his left hand was stabbed by a sword, and it seems like the sword was poisoned.
"Guards! Immediately seal the capital and capture the criminal!" Zerach's voice was overbearing despite his injury.
Ethan squinted his eyes and immediately looked around to search for the white silhouette. Before he could find anyone, the robust man whom he supposed to be the commander of the palace guard muttered,
"Your Majesty, the queen, Her highness is..."
"Bring the queen back at any cost!" Zerach gritted his teeth. "Don't come back without her."
Without thinking any further, Ethan rushed out from the palace, thinking only one word.
Eithne!!!
