The King walks towards the princess and then stand next to her. His eyes find yours and you see only pain. He then quickly reverts his eyes back to the crowd.
"My dear Ladies, it's with great honor that I announce our new Ladies in waiting. Please step forward when your name is called
"Lady Anabel" Everyone gives a round of applause. She steps forward.
You whisper to Kendra"I thought I was the only one?"
"Yes, I thought so too?"
"Lady Elizabeth" You see the King smiling and nodding but the emotion in his eyes are dead.
"...and of course....Lady Winters"
(...of course...what does that mean?)
You see the King's hands turning into fists as he looks at you, trying to control his emotions. You step forward.
"Congratulations Ladies and welcome to the court!" The crowd gives another round of applause.
"King James, if you don't mind saying a welcoming word?" The princess looks at him.
