"The first prince seeks your audience, Your Majesty". The guard delivered while the door was still closed.
Mikeal's heart beat fragilely as the door was pushed open by the two guards at the entrance. They had been permitted to allow him in.
He couldn't take one step further to the wide-open entrance.
What was happening?! It appears he was in a panic mode.
This was a new feeling for him, seeing his body acting against his will.
There was a trace of fear as his hand began to tremble and his legs stiffened.
"You can go in now".
It took one of the guards urging Mikeal to go before he was able to get himself back together.
He summoned up the courage and took the first step toward the door.
The first step was hard and so was the second, then the third. Things only started to ease down after his fourth step and were then washed over with calmness when he was finally through the entrance.
