The Kingdom of Serburgh was still in mourning despite the King having died more than a month ago. Henry was quickly plunged into a world of politics, one he wasn't quite ready for.
The plan of the late King James was to teach him politics until the day he died. Neither of them could've predicted that the day he died would be the day he crowned the prince as the official royal to take his place one day.
The one day that was supposed to be in the far future was now and Henry was not ready. He didn't even have time to grieve properly he was always buried in paperwork.
The only person who was truly shattered by the death of the King was none other than Valerie. She hadn't left her room since the funeral. Henry had been meaning to speak with her but he much rather this version of Valerie, because then she wouldn't do things with or without his permission.
