Back in the kings Court.
Queen Regina took a deep breath of relief. She was surprised that Ellen decided not to expose her in front of the king. She made a mental note to scold the prince later.
He almost got her in big trouble by running that mouth of his. "I have told him to think before speaking, but he seems to be deaf" she said mentally.
She was about to excuse herself when a guard walked in and announced the arrival of the courier from Avalo.
The king nodded his head in approval and the Avalo courier walked in moments later.
"Your majesty," the courier bowed slightly.
"His highness the crown prince of Avalo has received your message. He sent me here to inform you that he would be coming for his bride The day after tomorrow " the courier delivered his message.
"That is a short time to prepare," King George voice out his displeasure.
