Chapter 277: New queen of Sicily?

The Palazzo dei Normanni stood in timeless majesty, its ancient walls bearing witness to centuries of history. Inside, a room bathed in soft, golden light from a nearby window beckoned silence and contemplation.

As the sun's rays gently filtered through the window's intricate glasswork, they painted fleeting patterns on the ornate floor. Amid this serene ambiance, two men sat at an intricately carved wooden table.

The duo sipped from their wine goblets in comfortable silence. The clink of glass on wood and the occasional murmur of agreement were the only sounds that dared disrupt the hallowed stillness. Their faces, touched by both age and wisdom, bore the weight of unspoken thoughts and the shared history of a kingdom.

The sun's gentle embrace transformed this room into a sanctuary of camaraderie and reflection, where the bonds between these two men were as unbreakable as the timeless palace walls that surrounded them.
