"Quite late indeed, I do hope you will not keep me waiting again in the future."Queen Morina, ruler of Blackwood. A gracefull queen, but also a somewhat harsh ruler, but an effective one. There are some awfull rumors heard about Blackwood, that it is no longer the pleasant place it used to be before Queen Morina's husband passed away.
"Oh don't worry about it, I only just arrived myself. It was quite a trip so I told my nephew Fernando he could have a drink outside, it would be cruel to let him stand guard after such a long trip while I sit here comfortably."King Miguel, sitting next to Queen Morina. He is the ruler of Falcona. While not a bad man, he can be quite careless and even ignorant. He is mostly clueless about what goes on in his own realm, and his advisors are known to take advantage of this for their own gain. Henry won a small tournament in Falcona not long ago, which King Miguel organised.
"There is nothing to forgive, the order of our arrival is not important. Why we are here, is what is important." says Queen Valeria.
"You are a man of honour, we know your intentions are good." King Raymond adds to the words of his wife.
Queen Valeria and King Raymond rule Chivalia together, they are actually quite similar to King Phillip and Queen Dominique, but a bit younger.
Chivalia is known for its many chivalrous knights, honour is very important here. Sir Lancelot, who also competed in the Falcona tournament, is here to guard them.
"We did not come here to hold hands, sit down and say what you have to say."Even Ragnor, the Viking King is here which is quite unexpected. While not too young anymore, he is the undisputed leader of most of the Vikings on their isle.
He is very much a man of action and not of much words. While officially he is at peace with the other nations, his vikings are known to raid coastal villages here and there.
"It does not happen often that this many kings meet. Please, sit down. I know you would not call for a meeting without good reason."King Oberon, the oldest of kings, and ruler of Elydion.
A very wise and kind man who rules his subjects fairly, but trouble is always brewing in his kingdom.. it is rumored to be a land where magic, dragons and other mythical things exist. But surely it's all just rumors?
"Please have a seat, King Phillip and Queen Dominique. Thank you for the invitation."Sir Warren, the gold knight of the West, one of the four knights that rule Craftkeep.
Craftkeep is an island that has grown wealthy from trade and their fine craftsmanship of arms and armor. It used to be ruled by a Tyrant untill five years ago, four knights arrived at the isle. Having heard of how poorly the people where treated here, they vowed to overthrow the Tyrant and free the people. Which they did. In the aftermatch the people proclaimed them the new rulers of the Island.
Since there is no king but the island is of great importance, King Phillip decided to send an invitation to the four knights even while it could upset some of the other kings. Too much is at stake.
Queen Morina:
"Only one bodyguard for each nation, one of your knights needs to leave."
Sir Jory:
"I will leave then, since Sir Stephen is the main protector of the king and queen."King Phillip:
"Where is our host, Lord Gregorius?"
King Oberon:
"He has been kind enough to clear his castle of all staff aside from his gatekeeper, and stands on his balcony. He does not want to interfere with the meeting."Queen Dominique:
"How kind of him. It was no easy task finding a neutral location for us all to meet. Lord Gregorius can be trusted. He avoids all kinds of trouble and has always stayed neutral in all disputes."King Ragnar:
"Alright, let's get this meeting started now that everyone is here. The sooner I can get back to my island the better."With all royalty gathered here, will King Phillip and Queen Dominique manage to get support? Wil they find new allies or new enemies? Big decisions will be made soon, this is where kings and queens decide over the fate of the kingdoms.
((Will be continued soon.))
