King Xavier and Lola slowly made their way into the royal meeting chamber, where the royal cabinet members, ministers and high-ranking military officers were patiently waiting.
All stood up in honour of the old king as he walked in. But the sight of the crown princess looking all calm and composed for someone who just lost her betrothed left most of the guests wondering what was going on in her mind.
"Hmmm..." King Xavier carefully took note of all present as he made his way to his seat. He was impressed that everyone was accounted for.
After the king and the crown princess were comfortably seated, the royal secretary stepped forward looking all glorious and dignified for someone whose empire was on the brink of war.
