Dane Duchy Palace...
The Danes had a conference of sorts after the Duchy capital-wide worship of the Sapphirine Prince and that conference was especially in regards to the power held by the pair of Devon and Damien in the family.
Isabella could barely contain her joy at the sight of the subdued elders who were all angrily puffed up as though they had swallowed their pride literally rather than metaphorically.
Ever since the death of her husband, Isabella had stopped being on the side of the Elders and for so long, she believed her sons were on her side in regards to her dislike of the old fogeys. After all, Richard, their father's death had indirectly been caused by the Elders.
Alas, once Damien was in power and Devon was totally in his support, the two brothers began to see more eye to eye with the Elders.
