When the sovereigns all arrived at the King's chambers a few minutes later, they found the man who was revered throughout the continent for his regal manner bending over something with an almost evil smile on his face which was visible even though they were looking at him from behind. They didn't know whether it was their imagination or not, but they could almost swear they had also heard a low laugh that was interspersed with a different sound, but there was no way to make sure as the king immediately whirled around and saw that they had arrived, before hiding what he had been looking at with so much focus and concentration.
A mischievous smile came on his face as he saw their questioning expressions, and he said, "Oh, it's nothing that you need to know about right now. Just a small hobby that I'm getting back to. Anyway, what are you here for?"
