Centuries ago,
Before the guests from Bailimi sat down on the seats provided, Prince Toran gently nudged his sister by her side.
It was a sign for her to remove her veil. It would serve as a sign of their readiness and acceptance.
Tema was surprised to see Falkur. She clearly remembered who he was and she was not expecting to see him so soon.
She had known she was going to see him because if he was a nobody, he wouldn't have been interested in the Prince and had her tackled to the ground like a runaway livestock.
The Prince nudged her again and the nudge this time was more urgent as he sent an aggressive stare at her and quickly sent a smile back to the King of Zoah. Tema swallowed before one of her hands found the hem of her veil. She slid it off her face gradually till every facial feature of hers was out on display.
The King had a good smile on. The Princess was indeed very beautiful, and the words that traveled before her had not been exaggerated in the slightest.
