Chapter 239: Ticked off

"Do we have to stand here all night?" Elize asked tiredly, leaning towards the older prince. 

They had been standing by the entrance of the hall since sundown. It had already been two hours since then. The guests were pouring in like waves of sea-foam. There were so many dignitaries, Dukes, and Lords who came with their families that she had lost count of their numbers and the feel of her legs. As the hosts, the royal family took it upon themselves to humbly invite their guests in, and sadly, the queen had insisted that Elize join them. 

"Just a while more, and we're done," Lloyd said, patting the top of her head. 

"I'm hungry," Elize whined, pouting at the prince in protest. 

The kelpie chuckled, shaking his head at her. She huffed, turning towards the side in irritation. 

"Ahh! Duke Nightwing, you've arrived." She heard the king say.
