Heated debates erupted between the king's faction and the queen after the empire's prince demand that he want's Riel to follow him back to the empire. The most obvious voice of opposition came from the queen herself while the king tried to coerce words with her.
"He as a noble, must fulfill his duty as he should!" (Clemence)
"And he has his duty to protect the kingdom by having him here to quell our own dungeon problems!" (Slecia)
The king then leans back while frowning at the queen's hard stand to let Riel go to the empire for the sake of the kingdom. The nobles who seeing the two monarchs battling words, only rub their temple to ease their headache since the empire representative was still in the meeting room, enjoying the heated debate between the king and queen.
[this is going nowhere… I fear that the queen's affection for Riel might cloud her judgment. Though, Riel is strangely quiet even he was involved in this matter.] (Garran)
