Sied signaled for Reginald to step back, giving them privacy for their discussion. The air in the room grew tense as the two formidable figures faced each other.
"Your Majesty, I assume you are aware of the delicate situation we find ourselves in," Lyle began, his eyes piercing through the dimly lit room.
Sied nodded gravely. "Indeed, Shade. The empire is at a crossroads, and the recent events in Orsvald have only added to the complexity of our predicament."
Lyle leaned back, his fingers steepled in front of him. "I assume you're referring to the chaos caused by my departure and the subsequent aftermath."
"Correct." Prince Sied said.
"I have already notified you in the letters, but I wasn't able to go into the specifics there."
"After you left, the chaos caused in the city was quelled quickly by Elron, and after two days, the army marched into Orsvald, which is when nobody else dared do anything."
