Chapter 11
The stated decree changed the atmosphere in the throne room, as most fell short of words, making them silent, even after the king was done talking, and all awaited the princess response to his decree.
Although most were not surprised by his decree, especially her family. Given the circumstance of things, and the fact that they were aware of most of the attempts the king made in securing her safety and the warning he gave. Even so, they couldn’t help but felt it was a bit too much, since she was a female.
Guarded everywhere, and anywhere seemed excessive and a breach of privacy, and yet he said he would take away her privacy, if she goes against his decree. And that made most wonder what was yet to be taken.
While the meaning of the king’s words was as clear as day to his mother and wife, which led them to employ him to reconsider that she was just going through a phase, before the princess made any utterance. In fear that she won’t give in to his decree.
