"That's good to hear." Gladiolus smiled. "Dinner is served in the dining room. "Let us now head there. I am sure all of you are famished."
Gladiolus took my hand and escorted me along the way. It was a gesture of a husband escorting his wife. Even though we were not yet married, he did such things anyway. It was like slapping Elizabeth on her face because she is the one who already married to him.
The dinner was eaten in peace, much to my relief. I heard from Gladiolus that the knights from earlier that offended me were punished with fifty lashes of the whip each. It was said that Gladiolus wanted to punish them with death but the high priest opposed to it. Being that the knights were under the queen's command, she is the only one to give a death penalty. So for now Gladiolus gave them other harsh punishment.
