Adele's mother smiled kindly. "Ah, Adelaide already thought of that. She suggested I go to Prince August's parents and tell them that the betrothal is off. Removing a betrothal is complicated, but if she really wants it..." Here she looked at her daughter, "I believe we could make it happen." . After a few more minutes of talking, Adele realized there was one more thing about Caelan she hadn't told her parents. "Um, mother? Father? There's one more thing you should know about Caelan. He sort of has... Wings. He can fly, but that's all I know he can do with them. Most royals there have them, so it's not that unique in the Night Kingdom. Just don't... Freak out." Adele nodded to Caelan, saying that he could take off the cape that had been draped over the wings. She held her breath, worried her parents would freak out, call him a 'creature' and throw him in the dungeon. She didn't think they would after agreeing to let him court her, but anything could happen. |

Caelan slightly paled with fear. He looked to Adele for some reassurance before gently tugging off the cape. He hesitated, keeping his wings tucked for a moment before keeping his eyes on the floor and unfurling his wings. "They're hideous, I know. I can even have them removed if wanted..." Caelan said, not making eye contact out of fear of the king and queen |
