The Descent

The two of them look at each other quickly.

Lin ke's heart thumps. Under the watchful gaze of the rest of them, he and Lia stood up. 

The King scanned the two of them, not even batting an eye at Lia's beauty. He lets out a slight sigh. "It's alright, let them go. However, I want them to come see me after this."

Barnt quickly answers nervously. "Yes, Your Majesty."

The King waves his hand. "Now then, carry on with what you were doing. And also."

King Titalos glances at Prince Berest and Prince Indra, who were still staring at each other with open hostility. "Berest, Indra, stop arguing so much. You two are siblings."

Through gritted teeth, they both respond. "Yes, father."

With that, the King turned on his heels and with his steps echoing through the quiet chamber, he slowly disappeared out the hallway.
