There was a commotion as everyone stood to their feet, even the royals seated at the higher ground in the hall, stood up to show their respect, leaving Maxine in a stunned position.
She looked over to her shoulder to see Maverick bowing and she immediately asked him, "Do you know him?"
"Father has seen the Emperor's brother once when he was invited to the Imperial Palace, for a yearly event. I had no idea what he looked like as it was rumoured that whoever sees him would be killed."
Maxine blinked her eyes, before saying, "Is this just a rumour?" Seeing the look on her husband's face, Maxine immediately raised her head to face him as everyone was now seated after the greeting. "But...now that everyone has seen him...are we all going to be dead?"
"This is a tough question, wife," Maxine heard, however, she wondered how their King was able to escape after seeing the Emperor's brother's face.
