Before the Knights of Hydrogia knew it, the first snow had fallen but the king hadn't given official word that Henry would be the Duke of Tenetium in Chemois.
Henry was riled up and ready to trek north to take over and try to help the people still displaced from their homes, but the king seemed intent on dragging out the process for as long as he possibly could. There was no visible reason why. Only he knew of his plans and would let no one in on them.
Since winter had arrived, the events around the palace had to be indoors which meant Henry was going to have to start genuinely participating in real court life if he wanted to be an influential duke for the north. Commander Lothian and Sir Alix were already part of the king's court and promised to guide him through the meetings and other required events.
