She had a meeting in the morning.
Not a strictly official one, but Lord Harland had some suggestion he apparently wished to introduce to her that he believed would help Nevremia with its struggling economy.
And, given that she didn't really know what she was doing forging treaties - the last one came from being a prisoner for far too long in Ceiori - and she couldn't just rely on her magical system rewards to keep refilling Nevremia's waning coffers...
She was of course interested in hearing what his solution might be.
That he was easy on the eyes was just a bonus.
Really!
Anyway, as soon as the clock struck nine o'clock, she left her suite of rooms and made her way down to the study, where the man in question was already waiting.
"Lord Harland." She greeted him with a warm smile.
"Your Majesty." He greeted, bowing deeply. "I'm pleased you accepted my request."
