Entering the dining room, I was greeted to the sight of King Sigismund being mauled by a group of children. There were five of them. Three girls and two boys.
They didn't seem aware of our presence until Elaine shouted. "What is going on here?"
Her scolding tone made the very air in the room cease movement. The children, and Sigismund, looked like they had been caught doing something they weren't supposed to be doing.
"Take your seats. Now."
The children swiftly got up from Sigismund and ran to the long table taking their respective seats.
Sigismund then stood up and stretched. "Thank goodness you arrived, Elaine. Those little monsters just assaulted me with no provocation. This isn't how they are-"
"-Go sit down. Now." Elaine said in a warning voice. Sigismund lowered his head in silence and went to his seat at the end of the table.
Elaine then turned to me and smiled. "Forgive what you just saw. My children know to behave better. Sigismund though, no excuse..."
