3 Future Of House Longflower

They both seriously looked at me and I now knew they were ready to hear what was going to happen in the future.

*"Good, I see that you're ready."* I clapped twice and servants came in with new chairs, all my advisors also came in and sat at the new chairs that were just added.

*"Welcome to the dinner table advisors."* I said as I was looking at them.

"Thank you, my lord." They all responded at the same time.

*"Of course you all know why I have called you today right?"*

"Yes!" Everyone responded

*"Good, now that I am the lord of Dawnstar thing are about to change, first allow me to address the immediate future of our house, I have asked the Chancellor to send a letter to the lord of Lightvale since he is our direct neighbor, he should arrive in a day, other than that I have heard rumors of who killed our father... as you all know my father was a very renowned imperial general, so my Master Of Whisperers thinks it's the Kingdoms fault."*

"What! The kingdom?! Why would they?! We aren't even at war!"(July)

*"I know, mother but we have to keep calm. In this era, it's the Longflower's time to shine. First, we will get help from lord lightwing and then try to get a good position in the imperial court, we can play a bit on your family name, mother."*

"What do you mean."(Emily and July)

*"I mean that since you're a descendant from the imperial family, we could use their influence a bit."*

"But I'm only a descendant from a branch family."(July)

*"Not everyone knows that. You have been kept a secret ever since you were born. So we could play a bit... Sure it's risky but I think it's worth it, and since I'm quite sure the country is on the brink of war, we could also use that to our advantage, since the emperor's eyes will most likely be glued to the war, he won't notice his name being used here and there."*

"Right I agree with his lordship."(General Commander)

"So do I."(Rest of advisors)

"...Okay I agree too, but it has to be only a little, promise me you won't use it all the time."(July)

*"I promise. Now let us continue, I first will travel to the imperial court, to have a chat with some of the courtiers either lowly placed courtiers or some that are slowly losing their favor with the court, and his majesty. I will try to get them on our side, but if I can't we must use "other" ways of convincing them."*

"You will travel to the capital?"(July)

*"Yes, It's the only course of action that I can take at the moment."*

"At least take the house guards with you. That place is filled with power-hungry courtiers and lower nobility."(July)

*"Sure, I'll take them along, it'll be good for them too since all they do is train."*

"Good, also be careful, everyone may seem like they are on our side, but in reality they just see the power, you have or that you can bring."(Advisors)

*"Of course. But I won't be going just yet since lord lightwing will be here tomorrow, so let's just get ready for tomorrow shall we?"*

"Yes!"(Everyone)
