For the first time, the war hall was actually silent. No one knew what to say to this new shift in authority and no one wanted to raise awareness toward that point either.
So it was a stalemate that left most people baffled and surprised in equal measure.
The young prince, now king, was known to be friendly in nature but not necessarily kind. His mood was also easily influenced and there was no telling when he might snap.
Saying that though, he did love his country a lot but everyone knew he did not actually care for them above the court or Lady Jess.
Speaking of the female, many people took a glance at her in concern as well as mock. Since long before, her position of power had been set at the king's side. It would not have been wrong to say that she was the most likely candid for the next queen.
She was an Alpha of high birth and strong too. The match, while not traditional, would not have been terrible for either side.
