Bab 89: The Knights Arrival At The Palace

As the sun began to rise above the horizon on the sixth day of their journey, Drystan and Alex finally arrived at the capital city. They wasted no time going to the royal palace to request an audience with the king.

Charles, the chamberlain, interrupted the late-morning breakfast of King Kyden to inform him of their arrival.

"The Knights of Gerhard have arrived, Your Majesty," Charles said. "Would you be interested in meeting them?"

A wide grin spread across the king's face. "Ahh... they are finally here!"

Queen Emelda, seated next to him, looked up in surprise. "Gerhard? Is Kyren coming? Why didn't you tell me?"

The king's smile became subtler. "My dear, I would have liked to, but your court ladies are such big fans of him. I didn't want any trouble. Also, I heard your lady-in-waiting still hasn't gotten over him."
