Emery and Klea arrived at the great hall. The first thing they saw was Fjolnir, the northern king, conversing with some people and reading a stack of parchments.
It appeared the king had been gone for far too long, considering how many people came to ask for his counsel the moment he arrived. From the bits and pieces of conversations they could pick, it appeared the king had to deal with matters related to the other kingdoms.
The two of them listened intently without bothering the king, for they too were curious to know what he was currently doing.
