Queen Rykeld realized that they didn't just come here to just get away from the plague, she was at the age to get married and her father had sent a message to the king for her to marry one of his sons.

The people didn't live as long, especially because of the plague. So the people figured that they were able to get married at least the age of 16.

"Queen Rykeld." King Garnier announced as he came to her with a young man following. She assumed it was his son. "I want you to meet my son, Prince Hemarc Clerenbald. He is at the age of marriage as well." He smiled.

Hemarc smiled a friendly smile at Rykeld.

Rykeld smiled back.

The king smiled at the two, "I will leave you two to get aquatinted." He walked away, leaving them alone.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you my Queen Rykeld." Hemarc said smiling at Rykeld.

She smiled back, "It is a pleasure to meet you as well Prince Hemarc."

They didn't speak for a few minutes, not knowing what to say.

Why is she so beautiful? Hemarc thought to himself as he looked at her for a bit. It is difficult to speak to her. Those people were not wrong when they told me that she was beautiful. She is the most beautiful queen I have ever laid my eyes on.
