Izan offered a handshake to prince Halden, his expression genuine. "Prince Halden, it's been far too long. I trust your journey was pleasant?"
Halden nodded. "As pleasant as any royal journey can be." He let out a dry chuckle before turning to his attendants, who began leading his party toward the grand hall.
"Let the servants guide you to your rooms," Izan said, his tone warm but professional. "The banquet will be held tonight, and we would be honored to have you join us."
As the dignitaries exchanged pleasantries and brief conversations with Izan, the servants moved quickly behind them, carefully ushering each guest to their assigned rooms. Each kingdom had its own dedicated quarters within the estate, designed to accommodate their royal guests in the utmost comfort.
