The king was sitting on his throne, and his wife was sitting on a chair beside him. The chair the queen was supposed to sit on whenever she wants to sit beside his majesty, her husband.
Seems like they were discussing before Ethan stepped foot into the palace. Ethan strolled toward where the king and queen were sitting, then he bowed his head a little and voiced out,
"Your majesty, the queen".
..He was just greeting the both of them.
"Welcome, Ethan, why are you here?". The king inquired of Ethan.
"I'm here to discuss something with you, your majesty". Ethan voiced out.
And with that, the queen knew she needed to give both of them space, so she stood up from the chair she was sitting on and began walking out of the palace.
The king then said to Ethan again, "Sit down and talk to me, Ethan".
