"Did the prince just mention that that woman was his sister?"
"Princess Elaine? But wasn't she missing?"
Everyone present was asking the same kind of questions. Walter smiled as he looked around putting us in a tight squeeze. He's recklessly disclosing Michelle's identity...
"I'm glad that father has finally found my dear sister! Now we can all be reunited as a family." [Walter]
"Y-yes... Everyone! This is the announcement that I was talking about earlier let's continue on with the celebration!!" [King Alex]
"Yeah!!" [Everyone]
"Long live the King!"
"Long live the Princess!"
"Long live the Republic!"
"Your highness we have some questio-" [Melvin]
"Save it for later Melvin." [King Alex]
The other advisers want to question the King but were stopped by him. King Alexis was doing immediate damage control to prevent things from going even more out of hand.
When the crowd had finally dispersed King Alexis went to Angelica.
"Angelica." [King Alex]
"Yes, grandfather?" [Angelica]
"Is there a place where a few people can talk in private?" [King Alex]
"The city hall. There's a room where people do negotiations privately and since it's closed during the celebration, no-one will eavesdrop." [Angelica]
"That would suffice." [King Alex]
After I led them there. Grandfather, told me to come in because it is a family matter.
The whole city hall was like a fortress surrounded by knights. Kate and Regina stood guard just outside of the meeting room.
Inside were I, Michelle, Steven, King Alex, and Walter.
"Walter, what are you doing here?" [King Alex]
"There was news that you were successful at taking the cities back. I came here to see those amazing buildings that I've heard so much about. Also aren't you glad to see me?" [Walter]
With just a few words the tension within the room is already high.
"Good to see you brother." [Michelle]
"My dear sister. I was very worried about you. I'm glad that you are alright." [Walter]
"Tha-nk... you..." [Michelle]
"How come you just disappeared all these years without even informing us that you were fine all along?" [Walter]
His eyes were telling us that he knew the answer already. His words, however, were telling something different. It's like he's pretending that he actually cared.
"I..." [Michelle]
I'm going to cover for her. I do not like the way this person is treating them.
"It is as it says. Mother was kidnapped." [Angelica]
"By, Terrence." [Walter]
He glances at Steven and gives him an insulting look, but Steven pays no heed. I try to ignore it and continued.
"No, it was bandits. Father was only framed because he rescued her. There was also a reason why mother hadn't contacted you, for there was information that the perpetrators were from another kingdom." [Angelica]
