Karium Maselli soon sensed how awkward the atmosphere had turned. No one attempted to speak up though he sensed how curious Yara and Lena were.
"Something came up and I look after the Princess here," he said to his friend who nodded at him. Nevertheless, it was obvious that it didn't satisfy the curiosity of his lively friend. Then he looked at Yara and said, "Lena come to relay some news to me. I was discussing that with her and that's why it took me long."
"Do I disturb you?" Yara asked and said, "I'll go and wait in my chamber."
"It's fine, Your Highness," Lena Parish promptly said to the Avarian Princess. "We're already done." She turned to Karium and gestured him to go with her.
Karium nodded and led Yara out of his chamber. Then they entered the Princess's chamber.
"Is there something going on in the capital?" Yara asked the Welahan Prince once she sat down on her bed.
