"How are things going? Did everything go well? Has Prince Kiev accepted you wholeheartedly?" King Kyden inquired excitedly to the healer who had come to meet him secretly in his library.
Upon learning of Rafe's arrival at the palace, the king had summoned him discreetly.
"Not entirely, I'm afraid. He mentioned needing to observe more," the healer replied.
The king's eyebrow raised in curiosity. "Observe what? What exactly happened?"
Rafe recounted the story of his visit to Rivendelle with Callis, Kiev, and Elis. As he finished, the king burst into laughter.
"Your brother-in-law is quite the amusing character. He acted supportively in front of your family, even discussing the dowry and sponsoring a banquet, but then he told you he needed more time to accept the marriage!"
"That's what he said. Until now, I am still living separately from my wife. He made me promise to wait until he accepts the marriage," Rafe added.
