"Surely something happy has happened in our kingdom, my son!" The king laughed while Adaline still lowered her head and kept her back to the two of them.
"What happened, Father? Sounds like good news?" Shem guessed innocently.
"Humm, tell me first how was your adventure with our great-grandfather there? What kind of mission made your father unable to go there too? Have you asked your great-grandfather? What prevented me from seeing grandfather?" The king changes the topic and Shem is getting more curious about what happened and what does it have to do with Adaline?
So very strange for Shem? There was a strange woman standing before the king, but that didn't make the king greet Adaline or ask Shem who was this woman standing tall?
"Father answered my question first. Then Shem answered my question." Shem teased his father with a sinister smile.
