Royal City, Palace, Back Garden.
Bradley the Seventh 'Ivan', known as the Iron-Blooded New King, was walking with the Queen.
"Your Majesty, you look worried, is there something troubling you?" The Queen noticed Ivan's expression and asked softly, her tone caring.
Ivan turned to look at his dignified and beautiful wife, sighed, and said,
"Duke Nicholas has died."
"What?!" The Queen was shocked, covering her red lips in disbelief.
Ivan calmly watched his wife's expertly feigned surprise, showing a sorrowful expression on his face, "When I received the news, I couldn't believe it either... but the truth remains as such."
"Duke Nicholas was only fifty-six years old, in his prime, it's truly... regrettable. My father often praised the Duke's exceptional bravery." The Queen sighed.
