Witnessing Death

Magnus gulped for God knows how many times and fiddled his fingers and was lowering his gaze to the ground while next to him there was the emperor sitting silently and staring back at his mother that was sitting right in front of them in the garden and she also was silently drinking her glass of juice and staring at her son for the past fifteen minutes before she finally opens her mouth to talk" So... You are getting married."

The emperor grinned and nodded answering his mother's question " Yes."

" Tomorrow? You are getting married tomorrow?" The empress asked in a very calm voice tone but it sounded like Chantel could not believe what she heard about her son's marriage being tomorrow.

Octavius just kept slightly smiling in front of his mother who was stunned after looking at how her son changed in a matter of a day " Yes, tomorrow."
