King Alexander stood up from where he sat and Maverick and Maxine bowed as a deference.
When he walked out of King Louis' study room, Maxine decided to take his lead, having nothing to do anymore. As she took a step further, Maverick called upon her.
Of course, Maxine was expecting him to approach her but that did not mean she was still not annoyed with him. What if the news spread? What would they call their marriage?
"Maxine."
Maxine slowly turned around to look at him, her face expressionless, mirroring his.
"I am sorry. I am really sorry, Maxine. You know how much I love you, I would never have thought of it if I was in my right senses."
How could his face be stiff even after uttering something as heartfelt as that?
Maxine replied, "Should you be in your right senses now, then you know better than to exhaust your saliva talking to me."
