On the other side of the castle, King Olwin had just finished his Evening Court Session. Unsurprisingly, it ended later than usual.
"Your Majesty, Queen Marion is waiting for you in the Magnolia Dining Hall," Duxton informed King Olwin as they were walking out of the Throne Room.
"Magnolia?" King Olwin thought for a moment, it must have been Princess Viviana's idea.
King Olwin usually preferred for them to have their meals in the Orchid Dining Room since it was usually just a few of them having dinner together. Upon entering the Dining Hall, he soon realised that only Queen Marion was seated at her usual seat, there was no one else seated at the table.
The servants were also removing the empty dishes opposite Queen Marion. As soon as they saw King Olwin enter the Dining Hall, all of the servants bowed and greeted him before continuing with their duties.
