They are in court.His hands linger for a few more seconds before he pulled back from her completely.Finally, when King Lucien can no longer ignore the shocked gasps, whispers of bewilderment, and hushed murmurings, he turned and faced the Mombana Court.Everywhere went silent immediately. No sound was heard. No even a harsh breath."I know you all wonder why I am here today. Not only in Mombana, but in the Royal Court." He stated firmly."Yes, Your Majesty."
