Adonis was not taken to the Royal Palace by force, nor did he show any resistance when they informed him that Princess Mariana was there, and that the King wished to meet him.
Yes, meet him.
It came as a shock to him. He had thought that after learning about their relationship, the King would erupt in anger in the name of preserving the bloodline or something of that nature. But surprisingly, King Magnus had not.
Whether Mariana had convinced her father or not, he did not know.
But he felt the need to go, if only because his Maria was there.
When he arrived at the Royal Palace, its grand ambiance impressed him deeply. It stood approximately five hundred meters tall and stretched across several dozen kilometres in width. Simply moving from one hall to another took minutes, even at a walking pace, unless one was burning Ether to hasten their steps.
He did not get to meet the King immediately.
