"Your Majesty, Prince Magnus will be fine. Please make yourself comfortable here. The living room isn't in good condition," Norman said, opening the door to the guest room within the mansion.
King Esmond entered and took a seat on the ornate chair. As he settled, he began, "It turns out your mother helped Damien enter the capital. May I know why you didn't punish her when she's always scheming around? Normally, I refrain from involving myself in human affairs, Norman, but this time, my son's life was at stake. I nearly lost him."
"Your Majesty, I had no idea my mother would do something like this. I apologize deeply. Please pardon me for failing to keep her in check," Norman said, bowing his head in shame, unable to meet the King's piercing gaze.
"I cannot forgive you and your family, Norman. I will announce my decision on this matter soon. You may leave," King Esmond declared with a stern, unyielding tone.
