Alexander raised a brow when Duke Oliver entered a room with a giant scroll tucked under his arm. They had been expecting King Richard, so the men were confused when Oliver arrived in his place.
Lucas rolled his eyes when he caught sight of the blonde-haired Duke, who placed the scroll on the table. He watched as the man took a seat and flashed the three men a smile. "Good day," he said as he slightly bowed his head.
"Where's King Richard?" Lucas inquired, his gaze fixed on Oliver.
"I regret to inform you he could not make it here today."
Silence filled the air as the three men looked toward one another in confusion. Eventually, George broke the silence as he tapped his fingers against the table. "Tell me what you're here for today."
"As you may already know, Queen Amelia recently appeared in Elurra. With her she brought news of terrible deception led by her husband, King Gerald of Crystalia."
