บท 590: Meal With The Guests

Arlan and Oriana reached the Oak Palace where the King and Queen were hosting their guests, Luis and his daughter, Grace.

As they entered the drawing room, Luis and Grace stood to greet the Crown Prince and Princess, who first paid their respects to their parents.

"Good afternoon, Father, Mother," Arlan and Oriana said in unison.

Queen Julien smiled warmly, while King Ailwin nodded and instructed, "Have a seat."

Arlan and Oriana sat on the couch to the left of the royal couple, opposite Luis and Grace, who were seated on the right.

"Arlan, Marquis Mortimer is here. You must know him well from your time serving at the northeastern border," the King said.

Arlan finally turned his attention to Luis, who bowed along with his daughter. "Greetings, Your Highness, Crown Prince. Crown Princess."

Arlan gave a slight nod, "I do know him."

While Oriana simply observed, her instincts warning her that these two were trouble.
