Within two hours the great hall had been filled with people. It seemed as though everyone had come since it wasn't a common thing for the queen to hold a feast for everyone. Shirley and Mike hadn't been left behind, they had solved their differences and stayed together. Lisa hadn't bothered them, at least not after the meeting.
Shirley and Lisa had a few months ago. There was no need to break their friendship over a man, for Lisa Mike was already dead, she could only pray that he could become a better husband for Shirley.
"Why do you think the queen decided to hold this feast, no one seems to have an idea why," Mike asked Shirley as they sat side by side, their son in the middle.
"I guess we'll have to wait and find out for ourselves," Shirley replied. The next instant the hall became quiet and the queen made her way in. Everyone watched in anticipation, constantly glancing behind her to see whether someone special followed her, but only the two sisters were behind her.
