Family Council

It was late when Bertha came to warn her frantically that the meeting in the war room was finally over. 

The princess was waiting in her castle room, determined to find out what the von Donnersmarck brothers planned for the future. 

In the corridor towards the war room, Alexa crossed with several ministers and soldiers leaving, but they pretended not to see her, avoiding her completely, looking the other way, and deviating from her path.

The Princess didn't expect to find the other von Donnersmarck there, except for Cordelia.

Everyone was standing and away from the strategy table, and looked at her when she entered. Alexa smiled, although she was a little irritated 'Am I not attending important meetings? Why?!'
