Family Dinner - 3

She was grateful to have had Ling with her. Queen Zyne did not know what she would have done if Ling had not accompanied her. Perhaps, she would still have been standing where she was staring at Seth like she had seen a ghost.

Queen Zyne and Ling sat down and the prince and princess did the same. Seth had not uttered a word but Ruby got up and curtsied in the queen's direction.

"Good evening, My Queen," Princess Ruby said with a small smile on her face. The woman had a semblance with King Sek and Ruby knew immediately that she was his mother. She looked at Seth and noticed that his gaze was fixed on her but he had not said anything to her. It was awkward to Princess Ruby but she decided not to make it so obvious that she had noticed. She bowed her head a little while looking directly at Ling and found that the man had already been staring at her as if he were studying her.
