"The date of the event coincides with Her Majesty's anniversary."
King Zane blinked a few times, not fully comprehending what Curtis had meant.
°What does he mean anniversary?° He stared into nothingness, trying to figure out the puzzle himself.
He cursed internally as he finally remembered what Curtis meant, his shoulders dropped so low on depression as a guilty wave hit him hard.
°How could I possibly forget the anniversary of my mother's death?!° He bit down hard on his lower lip in anguish.
"The date still stands," King Zane cleared his throat, putting up an indifferent attitude as he turned to leave without another word.
