The stretch of the silence grew longer after Alarice had announced that the one he and his family was indebted to was a Dragon.
The silence was swelling in the small space where the people who listened were and it was shattered by Roger's loud laughter.
"That's an interesting story,"
Just then the dance music started and the Queen appeared.
"Your Majesty." She called and Roger excused himself for the first dance.
The first dance started with only the King and Queen dancing according to the tradition and the people's attention was pulled to that.
The awkward air dispersed and I inhaled and exhaled freely feeling a large arm on my shoulder making me look at Grandfather who now stood behind me.
He gestured for me to go along and after telling Rune I walked away with Grandfather towards the secluded hallway.
"What was all that about?" Grandfather asked.
"His Grace was telling about the Mordino war."
