After a long day, Arabella rewarded herself with her favorite snacks while waiting for dinner.
***
The following day, Arabella and Ferdinand went to the Court Session together.
"His and Her Imperial Majesty have arrived!"
The courtier announced their arrival, and just from it, various murmurs and thoughts filled the throne room.
[His Majesty is here?!]
[Is the situation in the locked-down territories resolved?!]
[I haven't heard news that there had been any changes about the territories…]
[We must have been summoned here today for a reason!]
[Are they finally telling us what's going on?!]
Their thoughts flooded Arabella's head as she walked with Ferdinand to the throne.
Representatives from all ruling households were summoned today for the announcement, so they were once again gathered.
They all figured it might be about the situation in the locked-down territories, so they were all present.
Everyone was excited and on edge to finally know the truth.
