The group of officials all stepped forward and offered their salutations with utmost respect and dread.

"Where is the king?" Elizabeth asked after giving the group of officials a comprehensive look. The king of Valaran did not seem to be among them. After a short pause, she added, "Or rather, is there anyone left from the Valaran royal family?"
When the officials heard these questions, their eyes grew red and became stricken with grief as they dropped to their knees.
"There is no one left… the Valaran royal bloodline ended when his Majesty took his own life." One of the officials spoke.
Elizabeth furrowed her brows at their emotional state.
