3rd Person POV

In the dining sat Adam who was at the head of the table. Beside him on the right his sister, Briana who was heavily with child but nonetheless glowed in this pregnancy and could be clearly seen by everyone. Her husband sat next to her and for his young age people commented how extremely attractive he is. The young Portuguese had men trying to gain his companionship and women trying to get him to bed them but none could compare to the great love he held for his young Queen who was also his best friend.

On the left side of the table sat the newly turned 19 year old Christian and the King Consort of the Norway, in his rule so far the Norwegian people came to immediately love him because he was just and treated people equally in the view of religion allowing safe passages for Catholics & Protestants that fled away from their own homes. His wife sat beside him with her hand in his and was known for her devotation and in many she was seen as Catherine of Aragon in her younger years. Who could rule in her husband absence and had one of the best education as she was able to speak 8 fluent languages (Norwegian, Flemish, Italian, French, Arabic, English, Spanish & Greek).  

As they dined the tension remained as their missing sister was no where in sight and nothing had been found of her and the likely thought they all had on their mind was that she was dead but none dare to say this out loud because they didn't want to truly believe it. Then someone said 'Adam, what are we going to do we all know that Danielle wants the throne and our mother wrote in her will that none of us can claim the throne meaning the throne is basically up from taking. Our enemies will swoon and take this as a chance to fight to grab it from us.'

'It's not my fault that she ran away Christian. We don't know why she did, she had everything but I don't know what would've made her leave so bad.'

Briana talked next saying 'Maybe it was the pressure that comes with being Queen. She simply wasn't ready and think she needed some time away. I know she will come I feel it.'

Manuel smiles before stating 'My wife is right we must pray and have faith.'

A frustrated Adam 'Listen Briana we can't simply wait we have no time we must act. This is not only a national problem but an international one too.'

Katrina talked next 'Sweetheart we must send some soldiers just in case. I don't want you to lose your childhood home to the wrong hands.' she said sweetly.

'Of course we will. Is that alright brother?' Christian said. 

'Yes and thank you.'

'We will send some too.' Manuel said.

Then the silence took over. The young monarchs didn't know what else to do as there wasn't much to do anyway. Until there was a knocked.

'Enter.' Adam said.

A woman said 'There's 2 ladies and gentlemen all covered in dirt and blood but one of the ladies is injured severely so we took her to the infirmary and is being seen by a physician.'

'Why did you let them in?'

'The gentlemen said he was a French Prince and demanded an audience with the Regent.'

They all had shocked faces why would a French Prince be asking them for an audience let alone enter the country.

'Let him in'

The maid nodded and a few seconds later...

A female voice saying 'Miss me.' was heard...
