Ch. 346 Having to comfort a nation

"That is why I made the decision to deliver the news in person, instead of making my commander take on the terrible burden. When you are ready, I will accompany you to your throne room and to the Ironskin City-state. One of my envoys has been sent to deliver a letter to King Duar Ironskin's brother informing him about how wreckage was discovered washed up on the shoreline."

Elric never left her side for more than a minute, as she processed it horrible news that he had just finished delivering to her. That minute was spent telling the maid that was previously in the parlor room, before being asked to give them a moment along, to bring her queen a cup of tea. When asked what kind, Elric told her anything but Silver Vine Hibiscus, but if jasmine or chamomile was able those would be best.
