"I.. I was only worried about the princes, my lady. I didn't mean to be rude. I.. I was just worried. I apologize for being loud.
"But the princes are still not here!" he replied when he finally felt the pain subsiding. Yet he could not discover what it really was and how it went away.
Was he hallucinating? He looked around but found nothing that could instill such pain in him.
He felt that the pressure was coming from the lady but then shook his head.
Everyone knows that she was a nominal wizard but had no power.
That was why he felt that his majesty had made a wrong choice while choosing her as his wife.
"Who? Who is not here? Are you talking about my sons?" she asked in a tone that was full of disdain.
Without waiting for his reply, she walked into her room where the princes were still rubbing their eyes and looking around.
Their faces looked in a trance and it took them a few more seconds to come back to their senses.
