"I've always been special; there is none other of me in this world. How can you say Methrede is just as special?" King Adrian laughed even harder and all those around raised a brow at Christy as though saying, this girl has a way of twisting people's words.
Oddly, Amie somewhat relaxed in their presence. But the atmosphere did not last as King of Isne had had enough of waiting around and walked forward before King Adrian.
"A toast to your coronation, King Adrian." he said and threw his head back, drinking his wine in one swoop. King Adrian did the same and handed his cup to a servant.
"King Adrian, I have come far to..." he started.
"It must have been a long journey. Is the festivities are too much for you? Don't worry; you are excused to go rest. After all, you are a guest." King Adrian excused him. At this, many thought this new king was funny. It was already known why King of Isne would approach him. Was he pretending to be unaware?
"I would not dare leave at the middle of a feast." King of Isne rejected, one could not find any anger in his eyes. "I wish to ask where my daughter is and what is being done about her."
"Your daughter is a prisoner of Juhntt. She led soldiers to attack Juhntt for her fiancé, Prince Thelmus, who has also been imprisoned for his treason. I know you must be distressed, King Maliak; having such a daughter that has brought you this much trouble." King Adrian said as though to console him. King Maliak almost choked on his own saliva at this. He was not the only one; many were just as shocked. Was it not Isne that attacked Juhntt? Why has it become Princess Fruelle's crime? King Maliak tried to understand King Adrian's intention by blaming everything on his daughter. Whatever it may be, he could wash off all their crimes against Juhntt with this and still get his daughter free. Whatever King Adrian's intentions were, he liked this development.

"Still, my daughter was promised to the next King of Juhntt in the eyes of the religion. If nothing else, King Adrian should be lenient for that fact." King Maliak played his strongest card. At this, many raised their brows. Was this really so? Won't this mean that the king had to marry her? Many turned their eyes to Amie as though to catch her reaction.
"Oh? Why have I never heard of this?" King Adrian said, seemingly unbothered by the new development.
"This is a fact, Your Majesty can find out easily. This king asks for leniency on the note that she is to be the most n.o.ble in the kingdom after you. You cannot allow others to look down on her. A promise is like a fine pearl, made to be kept!" he said and many waited for King Adrian's reaction.
"You have spoken truth; the religion has already blessed the engagement between your daughter and Prince Thelmus. Since you know a promise must be kept, you and I must do well to make sure the promises your daughter and Prince Thelmus made that day are locked at the altar." King Adrian said and King Maliak felt as though he had licked the fingers he used to stir the poison into the enemy's soup.
