If I had told him everything over the phone, he might have delayed his return. You should have been honest with him. I am his father and his king. I know what is best for him. He is 30 years old, Edward. He is not a child. He is the crown prince. Your majesties, the first royal convoy has entered the city.
Which kingdom? The kingdom of Amundi. King Nicholas, Queen Margaret, and Princess Vanessa. Inform the guards. We will receive them at the main entrance. Yes, Your Majesty. Beatrice. Your Majesty. The first royal family is arriving. Inform everyone immediately. I will inform the entire staff. And Beatrice.
Yes, Your Majesty. After the guests have settled, remind me about Grace. Grace? I thought about her last night. I have not heard from her in a very long time. Neither have I, Your Majesty. Please ask someone to find out how she is doing. I will do that. Before anyone could say more, royal trumpets announced the arrival of the first visiting family.
Are you ready? I am ready to welcome our guests, but I am still waiting for my son. The first royal convoy entered the palace grounds, carrying the family of Princess Vanessa from the kingdom of Amundi. Welcome, my brother. It is wonderful to receive you in our home again.
It is good to see you again, Edward. Your invitation brought us great joy. Margaret, you look wonderful. The years have treated you well. So the palace of Latveria Your Majesties, thank you for welcoming my family and me to your home. Vanessa, it has been years. You were still at university the last time you visited.
Princess Zara arrived smiling warmly, fully aware that every eye and camera was watching. The final royal family arrived moments later from the third neighboring kingdom. Princess Isabella arrived with elegance, pride, and little interest in hiding her confidence. What do you think? It is too early.
It is never too early to observe people. You have already started judging them. I invited them because I need to know who they truly are. Alexander is the one who must know them. He will. You still have not told any of them that Alexander knows nothing about this gathering.
They do not need to know. What will you say when he arrives and sees three princesses waiting for him? I will tell him the truth. For once. Elizabeth. I am only reminding you. Let us speak with the elders before Alexander arrives. The royal guests had arrived, but the person at the center of every plan was still unaware of what awaited him.
