This had both of them nodding their heads and they followed him into the dining room. It didn't seem like long before the king was entering the room and he seemed to be in an annoyed mood about something. Things did go a little array though when Carsyn was innocently asking if he was alright - just that concerned child and Braelyn was moving quickly to cover him when one of the guards was lashing out at him with a whip. The young woman easily taking the lash without making too much of a noise, yet Carsyn would notice that she had bit her lip hard enough for it to bleed a bit. The boy just giving a frightened whimper.
Damion was just holding out a hand to stop the guard from lashing out again before he questioned, "Why does this boy dare speak to me?"
"I apologize for my younger brother, your majesty. He is still young and due to this young age he tends to pick up on the emotions of others a bit more easily. He picked up that your Majesty wasn't alright and was concerned for your Majesty, resulting in him forgetting the rules and inquiring on your wellbeing." Braelyn was speaking, keeping her voice neutral despite her back stinging a bit from the whip - a few spots having started to bleed minorly.
Damion was walking over and was having Braelyn raise her head to look at him before he was speaking, "I will forgive it this time as he is a child and wasn't aware of the rules. But there will not be a next time."
The young woman was inclining her head before she spoke, "Thank you your majesty. I shall be sure to teach him properly now that we are in your grace more than ever before."
