KINGDOM OF LITENIA
PEARL PALACE

A huge banquet was being held at the majestic cream white Palace, this is to celebrate the return of the Second Prince of the Kingdom from his year long adventure onto the desert continent of Sabrah. This part of the world remain as one of the most untouched regions as the very harsh environment prevents any successful expeditions.

Various tribes also makes diplomacy as non existent as regions are divided among the many different tribes. However for traders like the Litenians in particular, the juicy resources that are hidden away in the various sand dunes are very hard to resist. From emerald, to gold, to iron and to this blackish flammable substance similar to their 'liquid fuel'.

As such this dangerous endeavour is really worthy for this grand banquet.

The King himself is entertaining many different merchant heads and diplomats from Azalea and Dylasla.

This happened a few days after Cardonia has been attacked, before the new King has been crowned and a few days before they were nuked.

Everyone is at high spirits as the second Prince details his accounts on his long exploration to the South, his swashbuckling adventures aboard one of the most prized Litenian airships. He proudly proclaimed his awesome swordsmanship as he booze on one expensive Azalean wine.

The thick gold ornamented doors then swung open with force as a soldier barges through. Everyone has their eyes on the panting soldier.

The soldier was then intercepted by the Royal Guards he then quickly exclaimed.

"MESSAGE TO HIS HIGHNESS THE KING. PRINCESS LYLAH IS UNCONSCIOUS!"

Hearing his words, everyone was left in a shock, one of the Royal Guards then even shouted. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK INSOLENCE IN FRONT OF THE KING?!"

With the guards slowly aiming their rifles to this bizarre soldier, the soldier then grabbed his small pouch bag, wherein he unloaded this small paper and presented it to the King, with two arms reaching for him.

With a flick of finger, a Royal Guard then grabbed the paper and proceeded to read it aloud.

"REPORT FROM ADMIRAL STENKOCH, ADMIRAL OF THE GRANDOUX FLEET."

"It is an Azalean magical note, however, it has the stamp of the Admiral, your Highness." the soldier exclaimed as he described the red mark on the lower right side of the paper.

The King then nod, signalling the soldier to continue.

He then read out loud the contents of the paper, and as he progresses through. All eyes have widened, disbelief is within the rows of Royalties and Merchants.

The report details about the attack on the Cardonian Capital that has lead to a massive casualty rate. Ultimately leading to the confirmed death of a few Litenian soldiers with more injured.

However, Princess Lylah fell unconscious hours after her dramatic rescue, she is suffering severe asthma.

"I TOLD YOU FATHER! WE CAN'T LET LYLAH OUT ON HER ON! LOOK WHAT HAVE HAPPENED!" Immediately protested Princess Rosette cried out loud, she was then followed by Prince Drenslo, uttering the same lines.

The King have his hands over his face, trying to face the shocking news.

Everyone inside the dining hall is bewildered, not really sure how to react.

With a flick of a finger, the King ordered his Guards to dismiss the ongoing banquet. Everyone quickly followed, exiting the grand hall in a systematic order. All except for one, the newly arrived Prince, Prince Grendo were creating a commotion. In his drunken state, logic were thrown out of his mind as such the Royal Guards has to dragged him out of the Dining Hall.
