-- POV General --
It had been over a week since the Supreme and the King had met in secret to find a way to find Princess Alayna. At the end of this meeting, where only the most important members of the Kingdom had decided to take action, it had been agreed to meet again in 9 days. Everyone prepared their Knights and Paladins and the day of the first strategy meeting was set.
Still in the same large room in the castle, awaited King Theophylactus accompanied by the first Prince, Erzian and the second, Iolas, Councilor Janell, Captain of the Knights Myles and the same four influential nobles. As was the case several days ago, the Supreme was late and although the relationship between the two rulers had calmed down, the King was true to himself.
"Damn it ! How much longer do we have to wait ? Our plan has to be perfect, every minute counts and his Excellency is still not here !"
