Winter Solstice (4)

Since Prince Thallan's first wife began laughing, the damn broke and others began laughing at the princes' and their wives expense.

Thallan glared at Kamryn, who in return shrugged her shoulders, "What? It was funny…"

Rychell stared at Mika before allowing her and Ailwin to take their seats.

Ailwin immediately grasp her hand under the table once they were seated. They had a long night to go, he only hoped she could remember her promise to him on the way over here.

The feel of Ailwin's thumb rubbing over her knuckles, gradually bought down her temper. When she realized she had confronted the King face to face, she felt a little light headed.

Sh*t! I am a loose cannon!

"Let the banquet begin." Rychell ignore Ailwin for the time being as music played and food was served. One by one people made their way over to greet the King and offer some gifts.
