"Is this a declaration of war?" One brave man asked. Ray and the man recognised him from when they were knocking people out. He is putting on a strong front but his eyes are a little afraid.
"What would they think that?" Ray asked as he turned to Vaille who looked at the people, not sure of what she should do. She kept glancing back at the King, swallowing her saliva as anxiety gripped her.
"Princess," Ray mumbled. He looked back at the people who had all their eyes on the princess and ... the man beside him.

He smiles and walked to the princess as everyone watched with bated breath. Holding his hand out to her he said, "Will you follow my lead, princess? For the sake of your people?"
"Yes." She said, taking his hand and gasps could be heard all around the crowd though some were still confused as to what is happening.
Michel, what were you doing with that cow?
