Chapter 30 Dylan's Pov

• The disturbing and irritating trumpet had been on the go for a while now, and I watched my prideful father take his time like he didn't know he was keeping an audience on a standstill awaiting his arrival. This is the part of being part of a royal family I despise the most. Is the showoffs necessary?
• "Be good and play along, it will be over before you know it." Mother had said and I nodded stiffly. What else was I supposed to do? It wasn't like I had any chance.
• While they moved at the pace of a snail, Eric got excited about putting on his outfit and getting prepared for his entrance, and it got me even more annoyed, but what could I do? Today could as well be tagged the day of peace because I could have gotten him to keep his mouth shut. A little taste of his tea, but even with the unspoken rule of peace, this rude brother of mine went ahead to insult the royal maidservants attending to him till I could bear it no more. I had to leave.
