"There are four of them," one of the guards spoke to the Gavarian king and queen as they walked towards the royal library. "Though if I am being honest your majesty, over ten candidates arrived today to see the princess, but we felt a number like that would overwhelm her."
"You did well," Gareth responded with much gratitude. "Eira didn't even want all of this to happen to begin with, so overwhelming her is the last thing we want."
The guard rushed on ahead and opened the door for Melissa and Gareth, and announced their arrival to the four men waiting within.
"All rise for his majesty king Gareth and his queen Melissa!"
