The dining hall was adorned with beautiful crystal chandeliers, and the walls were painted in the palest shade of blue. The floor was covered in a thick carpet, and the ceiling was painted with a mural of a rainbow, set against a cloudless sky. Two butlers and two maids stood at each end of the dining table where Saphirella announced the event.
Caught off guard by the sudden declaration, Norena looked at Zenyph. She was holding a piece of crab leg in her hand, her expression was unreadable.
"Zenyph. Explain."
He swallowed hard, as he struggled to find the right words. He had never planned on being king of this Kingdom. He just wanted to bring Saphirella back with him to Eldrithia.
"Long story short the contract I had her sign was a marriage contract." smiled Zenyph, as he tried to hold Norena's hand only for her to avoid it.
