Another day had dawned over Solandris, the golden sunlight streaming through the castle's tall windows, illuminating its grand corridors with an almost ethereal glow. The kingdom had risen early today, bustling with anticipation.
For Kaelen and Thane, however, the morning brought an air of quiet waiting. Today was the day—the day they would finally meet the queen. But for now, they were instructed to remain in their quarters until summoned.
A knock on their door had come early in the morning, and a knight in polished armor delivered the message. His tone was formal, clipped:
"Her Majesty must first address the citizens of Solandris. She will discuss the aftermath of the invasion and the kingdom's plans to move forward. You are to stay here until the royal attendants come for you."
With that, the knight departed, leaving Kaelen and Thane to their own devices.
