The people who had gathered when Karenina was about to commit suicide noticed the king immediately leaving. They were surprised to see him get on his horse and then really left.
In no time, the king had passed through the gate and disappeared at a faraway road.
"His Majesty didn't even stick around to wait for his fiancee to wake up."
"There must be something urgent that he has to attend."
"But, what happened? Who saved Princess Karenina just now?"
"I am not sure, but I think I saw the king carry her from that tower. So, perhaps... he was the one who saved her?"
The crowd was talking amongst each other. What happened in the royal palace compound today was really juicy gossip. From the reason why Karenina tried to kill herself, who saved her, and why the king fled the royal palace not long after.
People were thirsty for gossip and whatever they could get from the royalties.
