158 STANDING ALONE

"Sure, my son. What is it?" Queen Rose smiled at him. 

"Can we postpone this marriage talk even just for a month? And don't assure Lady Thana of anything for the meantime? This is really not my priority right now. I promise I will arrange it myself after the land has returned to its peaceful state."

Queen Rose paused for a few seconds before answering. 

"I understand. I just hope you won't back out from our family's agreement with Lady Thana. We have been good friends with their family for decades."

Raigon didn't respond about that. But he bowed and bid his farewell since the Queen was already at her Royal Chamber.

He walked back to his own and thought about his predicament.

"How could I get married in this mess?"

Raigon shook his head. He could not remember what the Queen was like before he got into an accident.
