Just the Serve the King

Kanaru didn't know why they were gathering, but he figured Fenris would never dissolve his harem court. The inner court could barely function with just five people—what more of three? Moreover, the harem court took care of the palace more than the palace staff did. If they lost the outer court, that would be a nightmare.

However, when he ate a spoonful of his veggies, his entire body froze at an epiphany. His eyes then grew wide at the stray thought he said out loud. 

"We're getting new members in the inner court…!"

The chatters were loud and peppered along the whole dining hall. Kanaru just had to talk when everyone took a second to breathe. Neither were his words soft enough to mix with silence. When everyone stared at him, he just realized the whole hall heard him.
