The king is dead

Francis paid a visit to his mother and sister. He was happy to see them again after so long, his mother's health was improving quite nicely. He had brought with him a lot of gifts from the palace.

"So what is it like to be married to the dragon prince?" his sister asked him curious about his life in the palace.

"It's nice."

"What do you mean it's nice, surely there is more information you can add to that," she said not satisfied with the answer he gave her.

"It's better than I expected it to be. Life is a little different in the palace," he told.

"What of Princess Olivia is she as nice as the rumors?"

"Yes, everyone in the palace is nice and kind," she said thinking back to the conversation he had with Alexander.

He helped his mother with the household work while his sister questioned him. He did his best to answer her questions making sure not to spill anything irrelevant that might cause them to worry.
