Maxim nodded. "Understood."
"Very well...." King Alexander finally smiled. "Then you have my blessing."
"Thank you."
Maxim felt one burden had left his shoulder and his chest now became so much lighter. The man closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He hoped his sacrifice wouldn't be all for naught.
"If you would allow me, I need to get some air," he said politely to King Alexander.
The older king nodded and so Maxim went outside. As he cast his glance around him, he was wondering where Myrcella took Emmelyn. Where did they go?
Maxim could only hope Emmelyn would really get what she wanted and she would feel happy. It's been an awfully long time since he saw her smile.
Maxim went out of the building and took a walk to the massive garden in the middle of the palace compound. The deeper he got into the garden, the more he believed that his mother designed their garden to look like this garden in Myreen.
