"Your Majesty, Prince Algis requests permission to see you again!"
The chamberlain knocked on the door and informed the king of Prince Algis' arrival. The King had refused to see his son for three days. He was disappointed that Prince Algis had lied to him during the search for Abbertus' house. Prince Algis should have told him that General Adelan would be one of the men.
"Tell me I don't want to see him!" The king refused again.
He needed to tell Prince Algis what the consequences would be for those who deviated from the rules. But the valet who had announced Prince Algis' arrival did not leave immediately.
"Why are you still here?" the king asked the valet.
"The Queen is also outside, Your Majesty. Will you refuse the Queen as well?"
The king almost said "Yes," but then he realized what the consequences would be. "Let the Queen in!"
