John nodded with respect. "I will convey your message to His Majesty."
"Good." Mars turned to Emmelyn. "My parents will understand. I usually don't stay long in parties."

Emmelyn nodded. She didn't bring anything but herself. "Yes."
"Okay, let's go," Mars took her hand and walked out of the ballroom. Emmelyn followed him with lowered head. She didn't want to see the queen, Ellena, or all the other people in the hall. At that moment, she just wanted to go.
