"He's the King?!" Lycster exclaimed out loud.
He covered his mouth as soon as the words came out and his face flushed beet red. He had overheard Dotty's conversation with Vy and he was in shock! Everyone was looking at him, the silence was excruciating!
"The King? Who are you…" Hazel turned over to look at the other customer that was in the shop.
Her jaw dropped as she realised that it was indeed King Olwin in the flesh! She could not recognise him because of how different he looked! But what was he doing here?
Hazel knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty! Please pardon me for my insolence! I did not recognise you!"
Vy laughed it off and everyone started to laugh along too. Vy stood up from her seat on the sofa and walked over to the man. She bowed to him respectfully and apologised.
"I apologise on behalf of all of us, your Majesty," Vy apologised.
