"My Queen, the elders and some of the Dukes and Duchesses are here to see you" said Mero as Wura looked at him in confusion.
"The elders?" asked Wura in confusion, she had never heard of any elders.
"Yes my Queen, the elders, such as Baron Melvin and the others" said Mero as he explained.
"Alright, but then why are they here?" asked Wura.
"To see you my Queen" said Mero.
"I know, but see me for what? I do not understand, I was not informed of a meeting prior to this" said Wura.
"It is undisclosed what they want to see you for my Queen, and the meeting truly was not planned, but they refuse to go until they speak with you" said Mero.
"Speak to me about what exactly? I am not going anywhere if I do not know what exactly is going on, why do they all want to see me all of a sudden?" asked Wura as it made no sense to her at all.
"My Queen, as much as I agree with you, refusing to see them would be regarded as rudeness and honestly, I do not think that it would be good for them to see you in such light" said Mero.
"No, what is rude here is not giving me a notice before planning a meeting, I am the last one to hear about it, and now suddenly my presence is demanded when I do not know what for" said Wura.
"If anything, I had to be informed of such meeting three days before, and I know the rules, and for that matter, the nature of the meeting must be disclosed, not just anyone and everyone can come to the Castle, plan a meeting and just expect me to attend, I do not know if they did that with Liam but they certainly will not do that with me" said Wura.
"They never did so with Liam, they followed the rules" said Mero.
"You see, so I am not going to attend any meeting, they can just carry on with it on their own, or what do you think Mero?" asked Wura.
"If you ask me my Queen, honestly, I think you should attend, it would not be a good impression on them if your refuse to attend the meeting" said Mero as Wura groaned and just then a little sparrow flew into Wura's room through the open window as it was Lown and he turned into his real form.
"My Queen, Greetings" said Lown as he bowed down and Mero looked at him.
"Greetings Lown" said Wura.
"My Queen, I saw several carriages coming to the Castle, I came to inform you that I heard the people in the carriages speaking ill about you my Queen, they did not sound pleased at all" said Lown.
"Thank you Lown for what you told me" said Wura.
"You are welcome my Queen, I will take my leave now" said Lown as he turned back into a sparrow and flew out the window as Mero looked at Wura and she knew what he was thinking.
"I asked Lown to watch things happening in the Kingdom and inform him, that is why he was here" replied Wura as she wanted Mero to understand.
"Does he always just fly into your room with no permission?" asked Mero.
"Not always, only when I call him" said Wura.
"it is rather dangerous for him to just enter into your room without warning" said Mero.
"I close the windows at night Mero, you worry too much" said Wura as she closed the book in her hand and she stood up from the couch, she did not have time to argue with Mero who was suspicious of everyone and everything.
"Where are you going my Queen?" asked Mero.
"Well it seems I have no other choice than to attend the meeting, let me see what exactly they are all saying about me" said Wura as she sighed and she removed all the strands of messy hair from her face as Nora just happened to walk back into the room at that same time.
"My Queen, I have done as you have asked me… oh greetings sir Mero" said Nora as she saw Mero and she bowed down at him as he nodded.
"Good that you are here Nora, please help me do something with my hair, it is too messy" said Wura as she sat down at her dressing table as Nora nodded.
"Yes my Queen, if I may ask, are you going anywhere?" asked Nora as she brushed Wura's hair and Wura nodded.
"Yes, unfortunately I am, regardless of how I feel, I suddenly have a meeting to go to" said Wura.
"Which meeting my Queen?" asked Nora as she got some pins and she held Wura's hair up in a low messy bun.
"Oh a annoying meeting of some sorts, tell me Mero, where will be meeting be held?" asked Wura as she looked at Mero's reflection in the mirror.
"In the royal hall my Queen" replied Mero.
"Oh the royal hall" said Wura as she sighed.
"If you are going to the royal hall my Queen, it means that the meeting is very official, it would be best you wear this" said Nora as she secured Wura's bun and she walked to the closet as she reached up and she brought out a golden crown and she showed it to Wura.
"Do I really have to wear that?" asked Wura as Nora nodded.
"Yes my Queen, you are the Queen, and the crown is a symbol of your authority, right Sir Mero?" asked Nora as she looked at Mero, she needed his backing here.
"Nora is right my Queen" said Mero as Wura looked at him.
"Oh well, alright" said Wura as Nora nodded and she gently placed the crown on Wura's head as she fitted it.
"You look beautiful as always my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.
"Thank you Nora, Mero is there a chance that you both could come with me to the meeting?" asked Wura she stood up and she looked at Mero.
"Not at all my Queen, you have to go on your own" said Mero.
"And how come?" asked Wura.
"Those are the rules my Queen, it is a private meeting, and you do not require any guards to accompany you" said Mero.
"And what if I do?" asked Wura as Mero shook his head.
"Alright, alright, fine, let me go to the meeting and get this over with, Nora please come with me to the royal hall" said Wura as she looked at Nora.
"Yes my Queen" said Nora as she nodded and she followed after Wura as they left the room and Mero left the room as well.
…
"Here we are my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and she stood behind the two mighty doors.
"Thank you Nora, would you wait for me?" asked Wura as she smiled.
"Yes my Queen, I will wait for you here" said Nora as Wura smiled.
"Thank you Nora" said Wura as she hugged Nora and she smiled as Nora smiled and Wura broke their hug as she opened the doors and Nora closed them for her.
Wura sighed, she really hoped that things would go well, she could not deal with any unnecessary stress right now.
Wura walked to the other door as she could hear some loud commotions coming from inside the room as she took a deep breath and she walked into the room as everyone fell silent and they looked at Wura as they all stood up from their seats and they bowed to Wura.
"Greetings my Queen" said all of them in a chorus as Wura looked around to see who she knew and who she did not know.
"Greetings, you may all rise" said Wura as they thanked her and she saw a throne at the end of the hall as she walked over there and she sat down as she was in front of everyone and they sat down after her.
"It was to my surprise that this meeting was called without my prior knowledge, so it interests me to find out why we are having this meeting" said Wura as she got straight to the point.
"According to the rules that we are clearly know of, before a meeting is planned, it must be prepared three days before, and I truly am surprised to see you all here, forgive me if I know not who some of you are, but some I do know" said Wura.
"I believe what I am trying to say is that I really want to know why this meeting is being held" said Wura as an old man with grey hair cleared his throat as he stood up, and Wura guessed that he had to be one of the elders, he surely looked like an elder.
"Excuse me, but may I know your name?" asked Wura with a smile.
"I am Elder Foden my Queen" replied Elder Foden.
"Greetings Elder Foden, it Is a pleasure to meet you" said Wura with a smile as Elder Foden nodded.
"I believe that I speak for us all when I say my Queen that this meeting was brought off as a result of displeasure" said Elder Foden.
"What kind of displeasure?" asked Wura as everyone looked at Elder Foden and then at her.
