The last dinner- Part 3

As the feast was arranged for the sake of the Queen's good health, it wasn't just the ministers from the royal court who came to attend it, but even the Head of the High House with some of the members. 

King Laurence was displeased that the High House had come to the castle to attend the celebration. He had no idea how they even found out about the celebration taking place tonight, making him question who had invited them. Though Calhoun was the one to tip the High House about it, he hadn't disclosed a word about it, and right now, everyone had gathered in the big hall to have supper. 

There was an air of hostility hanging in the room, while everyone sat at the long table that had been arranged to accommodate everyone. 

"It is good to hear that the Queen has recovered so quickly," said Helena, who was sitting near the King and the Queen, unlike the other ministers, who sat away from the King.
