Emilia is struck by the King's striking emerald eyes and gingery red hair, which she finds to be an unusual but captivating combination.
As they approach the King, Patrick can't help but notice the resemblance between the King and the man who had attacked him earlier. But he decides to keep his suspicions to himself for now.
