Bab 245: Rumor Has It

"Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Laina, has returned!" the announcer declared to the ministers in attendance. 

All eyes were on the Laina as she made her grand entrance into the throne room. Everyone got down on their knees. She walked down the red carpet and took her seat on the throne. 

"All may rise," Laina ordered and her subjects did as they were told. 

Margaret and Kol each stood by Laina's side as the court session began. There were many matters that required her immediate attention. As part of Kinshearth tradition, Laina was set to spend the next month traveling across the kingdom to meet her subjects on the ground level. 

General Tobias and Grand Chancellor Lucinda voted for it. Not only would it serve to boost the image of the crown princess in the hearts of the people, but it would also help dispel the negative rumors that were making their rounds. 

"What rumors?" Laina asked for clarification from her court.
