"I'm glad to see you doing better, Your Majesty," the Queen Mother says to Kimhan as she sits at the round table right next to her son Porsche.

"Your son Porchay has magical hands. That's for sure," Kimhan smirks. Hands on Porchay's lower back, he waits for Porchay to sit first; only then, he sits down as well.

Kinn clears his throat as he sits down between Kimhan and Porsche. "So, should we start?"

"I'll start," Kimhan stands up. "I'm sure everyone here is excited to hear my husky voice today."

"You seem to be in a good mood... How annoying," Porsche comments.

"Oh, if it annoys you, I'm going to be in a good mood every day," Kimhan smiles.

"Well, this is great! This is the way we can start—you two fighting with words rather than using innocent men on the battlefield," Porchay nods.

"Then he has to give up first," Porsche says.

"I don't have to do anything you tell me!" Kimhan says firmly. "I don't have to capitulate, but you don't have to either."

Porsche tilts his head curiously.

"Come on," Kimhan points between himself and Porchay, "we can't be the only ones who thought of that."

"You want to join our kingdoms together," Porsche says.

"Joined reign sounds like the best option... It is the best option," Kimhan says. "For all of us. You want to win for your people. I want to win for my people. But both of us can't win."

"Unless we can," Kinn says and looks right at Porsche.

"Unless we can," Kimhan repeats. "Look, if we make it a joined reign—Porchay and I will reign in Theerapanyakul side of the kingdom and Kinn and you here, the rest of the things will be way easier to deal with. You have to see it as well."

"Me? Reigning with Porsche here?" Kinn repeats Kimhan's words, genuinely surprised.

Kimhan raises his eyebrow, "you don't want to?" He looks at Porsche, "you wouldn't want him to?"

"I want nothing more," Porsche admits.

And now, Kinn looks even more surprised, "we aren't... we aren't even married."

"Not yet," Porchay smiles. "I don't see anything stopping you."

"That's—"

"Nice topic for another time," Kimhan jumps in, not letting Porsche finish his words.

Porchay is silently watching the whole situation—a small smile is blooming on his lips. This meeting is going way better than he had expected. His hia... well, Porchay was worried how his hia would react to Kimhan's proposal, but now it seems that he didn't have to worry at all. His hia has the same idea as them—it almost seems unbelievable. Finally, they can agree on something and end this nonsensical war once and for all!
