We Won’t Force Him

Mirelah:

Right. Father didn't tell Azra or Seraphina what happened. 

And I just went ahead to run my mouth like a broken tap. 

I feel the energy shift, and I nearly face-palm at the way I spoiled the mood. 

Ugh, what am I doing???

"Did something happen?" Azra presses further, and Kealith, Rhael and Darven turn to me. Realising that my father said nothing to my other sisters.

I need to do something about this fast. 

I'm about to come up with a lie… any lie or excuse when suddenly, Queen Velnara and King Damarion climb onto the podium.

Azra turns to look at them, and I let out a breath. Thankful for the distraction.

Queen Velnara gently hits her cup with a spoon, making soft clicking sounds that grab the attention of some of the people around.

"May we have your attention, please?" She announces visibly happy and glowing with joy.
