Henry was standing in the corner with his hands clasped behind his back as he watched the crown prince enjoy a meal with his mother, along with Prince Rylen. The three of them sat in the dining hall with candles lighting up the room from the tables to the ceiling.
This was the royal family's official dining room, and only very close family members were allowed to use it. Guests weren't allowed in here. The king's seat was empty and had been for years. Henry was surprised that it hadn't been taken out of the room, as the crown prince hated anything that was a constant reminder of his father.
Mealtimes were the only time Henry had gotten solace in the past four days. The only time he didn't fear for his neck was when the crown prince was enjoying a meal with his mother. However, he could hardly call it enjoying.
