"My lord."
Jason turned to the side, and he saw the widowed Queen, Phina, standing there. Phina had her hands joined in front of her respectfully, and her head was bowed so she stared at the floor. Jason glanced at Stragga and gestured for him to leave them alone, and once Stragga was gone, Jason turned to fully face Phina, and he spoke.
"What can I do for you, Queen Phina?"
"I-I am not a Queen anymore, my lord. Just my given name is enough."
Phina shook her head as she said this, but Jason could sense a bit of happiness in her tone, and he knew that she was very happy about the fact that her husband was dead! But Jason was surprised by something.
"Isn't it customary for the new king to marry the previous Queen on this world? I was under the impression that you and Makin would get married now since you loved each other before everything that happened."
