Emily received a warm welcome.
Meanwhile, Theo and the other envoys were pretty much ignored.
And there was just one problem.
"Weren't we supposed to have an audience with the king?" Theo whispered to Sandra.
The room was filled with soldiers and important people like before. But the king and the queen weren't here.
Rather-
"I'm afraid his majesty trusted the prince with this. He has other urgent matters to attend."
Theo'd seen this man before.
A medium-sized scrawny Sahalla with a paler complexion than the rest.
For some reason, he found this guy odd. The same guy even stared at him back at the party.
"I have been waiting for you, lady Emily!" The prince was excited- very excited. Yet his speech was perfect, almost like he'd rehearsed this.
Theo was finding all this a bit too complicated.
But for the time being, he decided to keep quiet and figure things out.
Emily also kept quiet but for very different reasons.
