The grand courtroom of Drakonia stood in tense silence as nobles filled the rows, their robes trailing like shadows across the ground.
The golden emblems of the Realm glowed behind King Aden's seat.
"Here Comes the Royal High King of Drakonia!" The moment everyone heard the announcement they all rose to their feet as the heavy doors opened and King Aden stepped in.
Behind him is Prince Adam, dressed in dark armor lined with deep crimson.
Everyone bowed, from the lowliest lord to the highest general, and when King Aden got to his seat, he lifted his hand, the room straightened and settled back.
Adam shifted backward and bowed before the king before going to the men and standing in his position.
King Aden's voice boomed like thunder making everyone keen and listening. "Today, we close the matter that has almost brought darkness and sad news upon this palace."
Everyone stared at one another wondering what King Aden meant and as if he understood he proceeded.
