Bk 2: Chapter two (4)

Seeing King Maliak's choked look, King Adrian frowned with worry.

"Are you okay King Maliak? Someone bring him water!" King Adrian ordered and a servant rushed over with a cup of water. The moment he saw the cup he truly choked this time and went for the cup hurriedly, regardless of his embarrassment.

"You were considered the late king's friend while he was alive. It would be a shame if you worried yourself to death over the mistakes of children." King Adrian said

"Since you have said that it was a child's mistake, I ask Your Majesty to return my daughter for me to punish." King Maliak asked humbly.

"Your daughter is betrothed to Prince Thelmus. She will stay back and fulfil her promise of marriage no matter what state she is in." King Adrian finally spoke seriously.
