A New Hope

A palpable tension still filled the air. All eyes were fixed on the platform where the queen and her consort were gazing at each other with indescribable expressions, though it was apparent that their moods were far different than when they entered.

The delegates, who were expecting a disastrous outcome, were now left in stunned silence, with jaws agape, struggling to comprehend what they had just witnessed. Never in their lives or in the history of this kingdom had they ever witnessed or heard something like this.

However, none of their reaction was as intense as Rebecca's. The words of the Royal Examiner were as clear as they could get…It was more than just a perfect union!

Even if she wanted to complain, she can't since it would be akin to disrespecting the Royal Examiner and his words.

She could barely hold herself together as, inwardly, she was seething with anger and shock. Her eyes burned with spitefulness as she witnessed his unexpected triumph.
