Mr. and Mrs. Harris were startled to think that the world was so small. They had heard that Markus worked for the King, but the vampire had never mentioned that he was the King's cousin. How strange, thought Mr. Harris to himself. One had sent his men to tear down the shop while the other was helping to rebuild the shop again, so much of a difference in nature within a family.
He smiled along with his wife, not wanting to cause any trouble for their daughter Beth.
"Yes, we have met already," answered Mr. Harris without bringing up the time and situation of how they met. With the King here, Mr. Harris believed it was better to avoid the topic. The King had set his eyes on his younger daughter Madeline, and he was about to marry her soon. Mr. Harris wanted both of his daughters to be happy, and not wanting the other family's rage to befall on his daughters.
