In Thidal Kingdom, the news of King Ragnar's upcoming visit caused a buzz of excitement and flurry of preparations. King Therric and Queen Marlena, the rulers of Thidal, approached the event with both gravity and joy, considering their daughter Princess Aria's past relationship with Ragnar, marked by both happiness and heartbreak.
King Therric gathered his top advisors in the lavishly decorated strategy room, where the walls were adorned with historical tapestries.
"Everything must be flawless," he stated firmly, "This visit could strengthen our ties and heal past wounds."
Queen Marlena nodded in agreement, her demeanor composed yet warm.
"Yes, and we must remember the personal bond that ties us to King Ragnar, brief as it was. We owe it to Princess Aria to handle this visit with care."
