Two dozen men and women in both armor and fancy outfits bickered with one another around a long, rectangular table. At the head of the table was an empty seat, though that empty seat was flanked by two guards.
Everyone in the room fell into silence as the person that chair was waiting for arrived. As he approached his place everyone stood out of respect.
The man was King Aleksander of Arcadios. Also present at the table were the other leaders of the Five Kings Union as well as their greatest generals. The topic of discussion today was regarding troop movements.
"Nice of you to finally join us, Aleksander." A seductive voice cooed. It came from Lady Voltara al Famyn.
Richard was not a fan of her, seeing her as a dishonorable seductress who slept and stabbed her way to the top. Though he held that opinion of most of the nobility of the Wisteria Concord.
