Ivan noticed immediately and prompted him, "Speak freely, Alex. What is it?"
Alex took a deep breath before answering, "When Your Highness was under the dark influence, a report was sent to King Iskara informing him of the crisis. No one knew what would happen next, especially with Princess Evelyn making a deal with the wicked queen to marry her son, and with Lord Damien, Lady Cece, and Lord Edward imprisoned in the dungeon. Things were….very uncertain, to say the least, so we had to request backup."
He paused briefly before continuing, "And it seems, Your Highness, that he has arrived with that backup….only the backup happens to be most of the royal army of Versailles."
At his words, everyone's eyes widened, and they were once again stunned into silence.
Alex then added, like very much the icing on the cake, "And he seems extremely angry. In fact, I have never seen him like this before."
It was only then that Damien let out a low whistle. "Oh dear….did I just jinx our peace?"
