My Liege...my Liege..a letter has arrived for you..it has the emblem of the Falcon!!is the magic House of falcons"what!!this house has been neutral for years without aligning with other factions..why arrived now all of a sudden?it seems something has happened in the far north..

William opens the letter and the content of the letter brought shock to him something he had never imagined had happened..a new challenge had come forth.

The content are:

Greetings your highness:prince William

Congratulations on your coming coronation ceremony..I've always wanted to see you become the new king of Narnia..

But I bring news from of the events that happened after the king's burial..the Duke your uncle,came to me as you may know your uncle wishes to be the next king..he had come to give a warning!!in fact threatened me in aligning with him,he had gave a condition and that if I was to align with him he will make me Duke of the North and make my daughter his queen..

This letter has been secretly transported to you in fear he might find it..the Duke has been looking at the matters of the North and has placed eyes on me,even the people of my household aren't to be trusted..I do not support treason for I have been loyal to the throne..

I ask for your assistance.. your highness for I will always be in your debt and loyal to you.i believe the Duke has been offered help by the dark faction of dark mages for I am not powerful enough to against them.

From your humble servant:

Viscount Maurya Falcon.

Walter!it seems the Duke has made his move and is in preparation to take the throne from me.call upon a meeting with the royalties faction to gather at the meeting table,now immediately"yes your highness"

Walter the butler called all the nobles from the royal faction with immediate effect..the letters arrived and a day passed..all six of the nobles from the royal faction arrived,they had worry written on their faces for the Prince has never called a meeting before ever since the late Kings passing and some thought the Prince called for a meaningless meeting,while we're just curious about what the Prince had in store for them.. could it be that something unthinkable has happened..what could it be they thought..but one of the house the house of lions,the Lionheart the Duke had an idea of what the Prince had called..

The meeting was about to begin all the nobles had seated and waited for their prince..the prince entered the meeting hall an aura not magic not spirit but an aura of a ruler could be felt from the Prince as he stepped in the hall..each step carried confidence and a different atmosphere all around the Prince..he wore the white coat symbolising his rule and a red cape with the emblem of the kingdom a dragon..he seat down and all followed..

Greetings to the present noble household.. forgive me for calling a meeting all of sudden while you all were busy with affairs of the kingdom..

You do not have to ask for forgiveness to us lowly servants of the throne..

Heavy sigh"I'll start,my nobles I bring urgent news from the north from the house of Falcon has been in tarmoil since Duke my uncle visited them..he offered them an alliance against the throne for he believes I'm not suited for the throne..he believes I'm unworthy,if any of you think the same say now of forever hold your peace..

Each of the nobles look at each other and none spoke"seems we all in the same side I will continue if any of have any idea how we might tackle this situation we in..as per the letter the the patriarch of the house of Falcon he swear to align with the royal faction that will make us one step ahead of the Duke as we all know the household of Falcon is the strongest magic House that has produced 8 stars mages..so any ideas how we can handle this without causing a civil before I am made king?

Duke Lionheart speaks"your highness I suggest that you ask for the Viscount daughters hand for it will stop the Duke..you and the Viscount will be families by the law according to the marriage but we must keep the marriage a secret for the Duke might try to stop it..make the Viscount daughter your Queen"but will the Viscount agree to the condition and the Duke my uncle had given the same condition?

He might have but your words are far more trustworthy than the Duke is for you are the Prince and the soon to be king"okay than Duke Lionheart,I have an idea have a party no!hold a banquet calling all the noble household including the Falcon..we will meet the patriarch of the Falcon there..as a pretense of a banquet"

Great plan your majesty

Great plan indeed I'll get to meet all the maidens of the noble household..hehehe..I'll be getting myself a maiden..
