{Third Person}
Escorted by palace guards, the royal family all began making their way toward the banquet.
Moments later, their arrival was announced. "His Majesty, King Sebastian Thornfield, and Her Majesty, Queen Lysandra."
"The Second Prince, Lord Zarek and his mate."
"The Third Prince, Lord Rowan and his mate."
At once, the entire banquet rose to their feet. Amara stood as well, lowering her head in a respectful bow along with everyone else.
The King and Queen ascended to their seats, their presence settling over the entire space like a command.
The princes and their mates moved toward the front row of the Werewolf side. Amara's gaze followed them without meaning to. This was the first time she was seeing them properly since arriving in this kingdom.
The weight of their presence, their roles, their relationships—it all became clearer in that moment.
"Sit," King Sebastian said with a smile, and everyone obeyed.
