The Girl and The Woman

In the King's Chambers of the Lanthanor Kingdom, there was a table at one edge of the room which had 3 metal blocks which were decorated with flowing patterns.

The blocks were in the center of the table, with mechanisms with which they could be detached when necessary.

Each day, this was where the King of Lanthanor spent a minute of his time multiple times during the day to check whether there was anything that needed to be addressed.

Each of the blocks represented each of the 3 major divisions into which the government was divided: security, finances, and welfare.

When Daneel touched each one, any and all information that was deemed to be at the level of "Important" was shown to him.

Of course, the truly crucial pieces of information which needed Daneel's urgent attention would still be informed by his commanders or the Grand Court Mage.

Apparently, this was a setup which had existed since the age of the first King.
