Vienna paused before it, listening to the water gurgle from the marble spouts. "This is incredible."

She looked at him sharply. He only shook his head, and she understood he would not say more. They then quickly rejoined the others, walking in silence for some time.
"We will take our leave now," the king said.
The king and the queen stopped then and bowed.
The queen nodded at her son. "Damien, please see Lady Vienna safely to her quarters. You may give her a tour of the grounds, but keep it brief."
