The next day, there was a royal decree issued by the King of Abetha that caused an uproar within the royal court. Written in this decree, to address the strange drought on the farmlands, the entire kingdom would perform a worship ceremony to please the Goddess of Harvest, the Deity of Earth, and the Third Princess of Abetha would conduct the final step of it.
As expected, the ministers and officials opposed the King's decision.
"Your Majesty, please issue a new decree!"
"Your Majesty, we plead that you reconsider! Why would you involve an outsider, a ruler of another nation, in the matters of Abetha? She is the Queen of Megaris! The other kingdoms will look down on us!"
"We understand and praise your decision to conduct a ritual to lift the spirits of your subjects, but once this decree is made known, the people will not be pleased with this situation."
King Armen, while sitting in his throne, simply glanced at his ministers.
