Marcus laughed, shaking his head."Ah, I came to share news with you," Marcus said as sly grin spread across his face.
"I have been bestowed a title,"He announced with a grin.
"I am now Lord Marcus of North America," Marcus declared.
Nikolas's eyes widened from shock, He didn't know they would take his suggestion serious"Congratulations," Nikolas said hugging him.
They broke off the hug and Nikolas faced him with amusement.
Marcus chuckled"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
"Bowing is optional, I presume?" Nikolas teased.
Marcus laughed."Only in private, Your Majesty,"He joked.
Their banter eased the tension that was on Nikolas but his thoughts still lingered on the vision.
Marcus's expression turned serious. "Your Majesty, I must ask, are you well?"
Nikolas's expression slipped for only a moment.
"I'm fine, Marcus," Nikolas assured.
