Chapter 37 The First Confrontation Part 1

• Ruyman.
• ""Don't tell me you can't find my mother. It's easy, look where the most people are gathered. In the middle, you'll find Queen Diane, up to her usual antics, and my father, the fool, smiling at all her madness," I told Lex as I waited for my wife to return from the restroom."
• I surprised myself at how easily I had accepted that I was now a married man. Even more surprising was how effortlessly I could say that Emilia Bencomo was my woman, my wife. My survival instinct kicked in again, halting all my pretensions. I've spent my entire life watching my father, out of love for my mother, indulge all her whims. A clear example is this wedding. I don't know half the guests, maybe I've seen them at business meetings or some event or gala, but from a distance. I didn't understand why we had to have the wedding of the century, and in a week. But my father, instead of putting a stop to Queen Diane's madness, accepts everything, just to see her happy. Madness.
