Unknown entity

The day dawned with great fanfare as the selected ladies of the kingdom eagerly lined up in the hallroom,most dressed to their nines seemingly unaware of the disaster that struck the kingdom.

The mood buzzing with excitement over the return of Prince Thane.

However, behind the closed doors of King Ryker's study, a vastly different atmosphere prevailed.

Seated across from the fuming King and Queen, Prince Thane remained stoic, his piercing gaze unwavering as he endured their verbal barrage.

The royal couple's words dripped with venom, their anger and frustration palpable as they berated Prince Thane and his kingdom.

But despite their best efforts, Prince Thane remained unflappable, his silence a testament to his unyielding composure.

King Ryker, sensing that their words were having little impact on the young prince, began to feel a twinge of embarrassment. He shot a discreet glance at his wife, signaling her to rein in her temper.
