Unexpected announcement

The royal dining hall was so full that the servants had to join two long tables together and add more chairs so all of the guests would have their seats. The table extended to the end of the hall, with the royal family from different kingdoms and important nobles all seated, the Emperor at the head of the table as usual.

The guests were talking among themselves, not even realizing that the Pendragon Princesses were yet to arrive.

"What is going on outside the palace this morning? We heard the commoners are making a request to the Emperor," remarked a minister from the royal court who was present at the breakfast table.

"Che, to think these commoners are crossing their boundaries after so many years again and making another request. I think it is best they be ignored this time," said the man representing the King of Banzai kingdom as he sipped from his glass of appetizing drink before the breakfast.
