The Queen Consort

Maya grabs his hand without a second thought and gasps feeling his warm fingers holding her hand softly as if assuring her.

Only then Maya stands from her throne and stands next to him.

Xavier now turns and announces staring at the clerk.

"Since I am involved in this. I will accompany Madam Maya throughout this investigation".

Maya's heart was in a different world running wild. She gazes at him eagerly and gets lost in her fantasy world which even she doesn't know exists.

She follows him slowly as he leads the way slowly. She stands on a Podium and Xavier stands on the one next to her.

The clerk who just announced stands dumbfounded.

'Why are they standing together? Wasn't she just an outsider? Why would they treat a stranger like a family? Didn't they say that the Crown Prince didn't favour his queen? Why would Prince Xavier step in if that's true?'

He gulps feeling a cold shiver in his spine.
