Drayce and Seren were ready to leave the royal banquet after a while, as she didn't feel comfortable staying with the strange gazes, especially that particular gaze always following her.
"Dray, would it be rude if we leave early?" Seren asked. "Will it offend the Othinian royal family?"
Drayce shook his head. "You are the queen of Megaris, and you can offend whoever you want, even the entire continent."
"Umm... I don't wish to take advantage of being the wife of the most powerful king, but I really wish to leave this place. I don't feel good here," she replied honestly.
"Let's leave then," he agreed as he offered her his hand.
Seren accepted his hand but then looked around to search for someone.
"She is with Arlan," Drayce answered her unspoken question.
Seren looked back at him. "Are you sure about it? I brought Oriana here under my responsibility, so I can't help but be worried."
