The Distraught News
Valenthia looked at Bardolph and he looked back at Valenthia. She nodded at him and he spoke, "we are thinking of postponing our marriage."
"What? Why?" asked Alder, shocked.
"After so much happened, we don't think we could get married. Attack on people, a rogue killed, our people died. We don't want to celebrate after people died. They lost their families and now they have to celebrate with us. That seems rude. We don't want to be rude. We want to take time to give them time to mourn. We can marry later, there is no rush," said Bardolph.
All the elders looked at each other. Some were surprised, some were impressed. There was pin-drop silence in the hall as everyone just kept staring at each other. Alder was thinking that it was something stupid that the youngsters wanted to change, again, but he was glad after seeing their soft hearts and decision-making skills.
