"Reina?"

   "I-I am alright," Reina assured Harry, standing up and rushing over to the bowl of water that was nearby used for washing the hands and face. It was clean and she used it to wash her mouth while Harry stepped into the bathroom.

   "No, clearly you're not," Harry said with a frown, resting his hand on her back and rubbing soothingly. "What's the matter? Did the breakfast we have earlier upset your stomach?"

   "No, I do not think it's food," Reina murmured quietly, wiping her mouth with a clean rag.

   "Then what could it be?" Harry questioned with tightly knitted brows.

  Reina parted her lips to speak, but she didn't get the chance when loud banging on the door of their bedchamber interrupted them. Harry frowned and walked out of the bathroom to call out loudly for whomever it was to enter. King Desmond's guards stepped in with Jorey leading them. Reina stepped out of the bathroom, to stand by Harry, a frown coming upon her face at Jorey's presence. She never really liked Jorey because he had always been opposed to her marriage to Harry, now even more because she was always attending any Council meetings concerning the Messian matter.

   "What is it, Jorey?" Harry inquired with an arch of his brow.

   "Your father requests for your presence immediately, my Prince. It is to discuss the situation regarding the Followers of Messiah, and the recent kidnappings of peasant children," Jorey informed him, making Harry grimace a little because he didn't want to leave Reina's side.

   "Is it that urgent? Could I come a little later?" Harry asked, and Jorey immediately shook his head.

   "The King is rather upset that you took charge today at court and promised that peasant those things. He is the King, not you," Jorey said to him, making Reina scowl a little.

   "The King asked for Harry to be by his side and give suggestions when necessary," Reina defended her husband, and Harry had to hide his smile at the passive aggressive tone she had used. "Did you expect him not to step in and provide some sort of solution to the man's complaint when the King was just whining about the information on the Messians getting out of the palace?"

   "Watch your tongue, Princess. Do not disrespect your King like that," Jorey warned with an angry expression, making Harry step forwards to glare at him.
