Sunshine nodded, her throat feeling a bit tight. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Truly." He had no idea what a great favor he had done her. She had a feeling that her grandfather's account would not have been revealed if not for him. Even if it was, the council probably wasn't planning on giving her the full inheritance.
But now, she had a powerful backer that was strong enough to lean on the council and make sure she got what belonged to her rightfully!
Suddenly, she liked the King, very much.
The King didn't pull away. He looked at her as if he'd reunited with an old friend, ignoring the stunned silence of his servants. "You really have his eyes."
Sunshine nodded, agreeing to words that nobody had ever said to her. "He used to say so too." She lied. "Maybe from time to time, I will visit and tell you stories about him."
