King Austen, Lord Edmond, Oscar, and four more middle-aged men gathered at a table to discuss what just happened half an hour ago.
“That was the second time she interacted with Ethan,” Lord Edmond said in a solemn tone. “The first one can be brushed off as an incident because she might've moved to eliminate the threat on the castle grounds. But her next appearance seems to be done of her own volition.”
“Don’t forget that she also took the initiative to feed him,” King Austen commented.
“And she also told the boy not to bully you,” Lord Edmond said as he looked at his close friend with an amused look on his face. “Imagine, a boy who is not even twenty bullying the King of Eastshire. Your father would rise up from the grave to give you a good smack if that were to really happen.”
King Austen pretended that he didn’t hear Edmond’s side remarks and focused his attention on Oscar, as well as the four other men sitting at their table.
