Music Recommendation: Afraid of time by Hans Zimmer

Madeline, who had stepped back into the ballroom, started to make her way to where Calhoun was, who was swarmed around by people. When she came near, Calhoun automatically turned his gaze away from the person with whom he was talking and looked at her. This led the people to stop listening to the man who was speaking, they made way for the Queen, who came to stand next to the King. 

"My Queen," greeted a woman who had highly arched eyebrows and her red eyes were small, possibly because of her age. "We didn't have the opportunity to meet earlier." The woman took hold of Madeline's hand to kiss the back of her hand which Madeline found to be strange as she had never been placed in a high position like this in her life until now, "I am Monique Trevett. The previous King's half-sister. A relative of the King," said Monique glancing at Calhoun and then back at her.
