Seeing King Maliak"s choked look, King Adrian frowned with worry."Are you okay King Maliak? Someone bring him water!" King Adrian ordered and a servant rushed over with a cup of water.

"You were considered the late king"s friend while he was alive. It would be a shame if you worried yourself to death over the mistakes of children." King Adrian said
"Since you have said that it was a child"s mistake, I ask Your Majesty to return my daughter for me to punish." King Maliak asked humbly.

"Even if this is so, you still intend to marry an unknown girl? Even in the midst of several possibilities from different Kingdoms?" he said with a worried look on his face. The single ladies and their mothers were happy with this development. They had not heard at all of Lord of Merve getting engaged and were already bitter that the next queen chosen for Prince Thelmus was from another kingdom.

"Of course not, you are the King of Juhntt, declared the root of the broken tree. It is only right that other kingdoms worry about you." he answered and the representatives around saw this as an opportunity to voice their concerns. They approached under the eyes of King Adrian, unaware of the cold glint hidden in his blank look.
