We Will Be Ready

King Ophire, as expected, sat at the head of the large elliptical hardwood table that was arranged at the center of the room.

One would wonder why a meeting room was named 'The Fountain Hall', the reason for this was a dead giveaway once they entered the room.

The large room had only one table at the center of the room and nothing else.

Any place that received frequent visits from the King could not have open spaces in order to prevent any assassination attempts and this room was the same.

The three walls of the room had no windows through which one could see the beautiful view of the palace garden.

However, this bland and boring room had one saving grace and that was the fourth wall.

The wall which was on the opposite side of the King's seat was not a wall, in fact, it was a fountain through which sparkling blue water flowed throughout the day.
