While that is happening, Emilio's jaw clenched as he heard the news. His eyes darted away, so he could not see the joyous celebrants in front of him.
He recalled how he tried to persuade the King to stop their engagement early on while everything was still peaceful.

"How could I make him see that he is making a huge mistake?" Emilio muttered under his breath.
His fingers made small jittery movements as he pondered on the upcoming event.
"Their union will only cause trouble in Gaea," he garbled as he gazed at Lady Aisha, who was smiling bashfully while giving the King a side glance.
"Is anything bothering you, Lord Emilio? It's quite a lovely day for a frown," the King now noticed him as Lady Aisha walked away with her female servants.
