75: Wise expertise

The court maids set the table for the royal breakfast. Amoela spearheaded the servants and instructed them on how to set the table. 

She encountered a problem when it came to how they were going to be seated at the table. In the past, it was easy to arrange them, as everyone knew where they belonged. 

Now, there was the king and his new lover who was to take Soren's place. Nevertheless, Soren was back and he too had a love interest. The queen's mother had lost favor in Javier's eyes while the Queen had gotten lucky with the king. 

It was confusing how to arrange them without offending any of them. The hardest part was figuring out who mattered to the king and who didn't. Amoela found it harder since Brandis returned. 

The man was a black hole of attention. He hovered around the king leaving no room for anyone else to get close to him. And he was brutal to anyone who came close to the king and rarely offered a friendly hand to the people around him.
