78| The Aftermath

King Adonis

I marched into parliament with Apollo and Ezekiel behind me. They both looked concerned about my current state but decided it was better to keep quiet then bother me more about it. My mind was all over the place and the last thing I needed was for my ministers to come and make an already awful day worse. 

Brittney was practically running to keep up with me in her heels that recreated an echo through the hallway. I had never found the sound more annoying than right now. I was tempted to just ban them in general. 

The Royal guards opened my office door for me in the Palace and all the ministers stood up in attention. They all seemed incredibly worried when they realized I was no longer the kind and generous King I was a few days ago. I had let my crown slip just for a little and it made them feel comfortable enough to think they could request for me as they pleased. 

I went to my desk and stood in front of it.
