They gathered in the king’s hall. All heads of the houses were present. They were allies, friends. The King was not there, but that was not a problem. No fear about a quarrel.
Some of the nobles brawl but none could even imagine drawing swords among their peers. They argued, they raised voices, but it was always for the wealth of the kingdom.
Lady Arame, head of the Vrado house and Queen of Grevonrad, ruled the meeting. Lord Ynoth, head of the Sasou house, was very active. He arrived on an enormous carriage with eight strong Peratyan mares. Braided white manes and tails, gave them a vigorous and gallant presence. Lord Ynoth brought his sister, Lady Bellitha and their two dark furred Grylari.
Lady Yttaph, head of the former royal house, the house of Casminas, was worried about the expenses of the stewards in the northern frontiers. Lady Sirod, head of the house of Tosso try to keep order while the others tried to make their opinions to prevail. Lord Ekha, head of Tethuma, house arrived after all the other. He seemed distant, not that interested in the expenses in the north.
There were matters of higher importance for the kingdom than those ordinary decisions. Finally, Lord Otersn, head of the Adimae house, also arrived to the King’s hall. He seemed very tired. He was quieter than he usually used to be in this kind of meetings. Dark news danced around his head. He had dark news for the houses and the realm.
