Chapter 58 Press Release

• Daniel
• I tried my best to conceal the fact that my body was shaking with rage as I walked up to the temporary podium. As soon as I opened the double doors to the room the obnoxious buzz of reporters tossing out their questions and the bright flashes of the cameras assaulted my every waking sense. Normally, things like this would make me sick to my stomach--I was never one for the vulturous attitude of the media--but I was far too distracted with the murderous anger and hatred I felt in my soul to give it much more than a fleeting thought of irritation.
• The media correspondant rushed by me and headed up to the podium, her high heel shoes clicking on the floor as she quickly drew the attention of the reporters by tapping her pen against the microphone. “Ahem! If you’re all quite finished, His Royal Highness is ready to deliver his statement.” The room goes quiet at the sound of the loud voice coming out of such a short and small brunette woman. “The Royal Family would like to thank you all for coming here at such a short notice. They appreciate all the support they have received in this difficult time and His Royal Highness,” She motioned behind her to where I stood on the side before she continued. “would like to formally thank you all for your support and deliver a very important message about Her Royal Highness’ case. Thank you all.” The short woman nodded to the reporters and quickly and quietly made her leave from the podium. She bowed to me and offered a small smile before she headed to the back of the room with the other royal aids. I had never seen this media officer before, but she had done very well. I took in a deep breath to tried and calm myself before I made my way up to the podium myself.
