Kingdom of Mountel
King Altruss Lannel IV, stood in front of a circular table with brows furrowed with sweat even though the hall was massive and the weather was cool enough to border on cold.
Beside him was Ria his queen who looked just as young as he was seated with a slightly chilled demeanor as she glanced at all the others who stood around the table. They were men of course. A older men as their eyes were completely focused on the huge map on the spherical table that could be spinner around to allow a change of view.
Altruss was 30 that year which was hound for a king especially since his father died a year ago from poisoning. Which was done by an assassin probably hired by someone at that table.
Worse was the fact that it was a familiar experience since before his father was crowned it was his uncle before him. Kings never lasted long and hence why they tended to be just as ruthless as King Altruss stared at the map.
