In the court room, the king was at the very top of the tables. Respectively at his left and his right are seats that are laid empty, rendered unoccupied.
Now, at the end of the table opposite where the king sat, are the nobles who remained standing with their shiny robes as they petitioned to the king.
Since the event, the needs of the nobles have been the same. They come here every day to make complaints to the king concerning one issue alone!
Revoke your order about making the cursed prince your heir.
The king had expected stern opposition from them. He was not even surprised to see the differing factions of the nobles coming together to agree on one thing.
Even the faction led by Duke Grosskon that had aligned with him is now turned over to the Grand Duke's faction.
This was within expectations. It is also nothing compared to what he has prepared himself for, and he has no intention of changing his mind.
