Inside the cozy inn, Princess Giovanna's arranged room was filled with the savory aromas of warm food and wine. A beautifully set table awaited her, surrounded by the two envoys, Lord Kaelor Tharros and Lord Xandros Valthorne. Jennia, Giovanna's loyal maid, efficiently served the meal, her movements silent and unobtrusive.
As they dined, the evening wore on, the only sound the clinking of utensils and gentle conversation. Lord Kaelor Tharros broke the tranquility, producing an envelope from his cloak and sliding it across the table to Giovanna.
Giovanna's eyes widened in surprise as she accepted the letter. "What is this?" she asked, her brow furrowed.
"A message from the capital city of Valtoria," Lord Kaelor explained. "You should see it, Your Highness."
