Patience

The room was quiet as everyone still had difficulty accepting what had happened during the dance. They watched the door of the exit slam close and the sound echoing through the room. Though it had only been a small thud, it rang in their head, resonating a lot more than it needed to.

The air was tense and the people were just as tense. There was this feeling of emptiness when she left. Not because she left, but rather because they didn't know the reason why she left. They tried their hardest to wrap their heads around the act that she might have just gotten kicked out by the king. 

They looked up at him and the thoughts of that were immediately diminished. There on the throne was a smiling, happy king, obviously still happy from Lusinda's performance.
