The next morning, Harry was careful not to wake his two sleeping beauties as he prepared for the council meeting. After the meeting ended, he was summoned to his mother's place once again.

He could see his mother enjoying her morning tea while talking to the seamstress when he got there.

Anne's dresses always have one thing in common. Almost all of them are purple, including the one she's wearing right now.

She seems to not noticed he's there until the seamstress and servants start curtsying to their King.

"Harry, there you are. It must be a good morning for you to be here already."

The seamstress seems to sense the tension that filled the air. She took the cue to depart the Dowager Queen and King's presence.

"Solitude." The King dismisses all the maids and servants.

"What do you need, mother?"

"Is this how you're going to talk to your mother? I thought it was only us Cendric's Ladies who lack in respect for our superiors." Anne sneered.

"So this is about Lydia?"

"All I wanted was to see my son. But it turns out I'm not that important compared to a Foreign Prince."

"What are you trying to get at, mother?"

"Clearly, he's quite important if you're willing to threatened Lydia in front of everyone. Above all else, you're going to let your two consorts be a part of the Court Council. And then what? Give them a wedding? Is this how you imagine kingship to be like?"

"I threatened Lydia because she has overstepped. And no, I don't imagine kingship to be like this. I know what's it like. I've been at court my whole life. I've been on the battlefield. I know who's loyal to me. Also, I'm not just giving my consorts a wedding. I'm giving my High Consorts a Wedding and Crowning Ceremony."

Queen Anne shot out of her seat. "You can't be serious! They're only a Duke and a Foreign Prince. Taking them as consorts would've been an honor already. You're crowning the two of them? By Aphrodite! This cannot be done! I won't let it!"

"It is not your decision, mother!" Harry stands face to face with her. "I've issued a proclamation this morning. By this time, the whole capital would've gotten the news. There's nothing you can do. Once Liam and Louis have been crowned, they will be the next highest monarch in this palace. I suggest you get on their good side now, considering Louis's father, the King of Irithica, is still here," Harry threatens.

Queen Anne walked up to the King, "You were supposed to marry Lydia. She would be a Queen worthy of her title. The Cendric will once again be in alliance with the Royal Family. You could've gotten a lot more if you would've played your cards right." She took a deep breath. "Harry, listen to me. Lydia is your key to getting more allies. She might not have the potential, but she's a powerful pawn. We could use her. Think about your kingdom, Harry." The Queen tried so hard to convinced Harry in her best motherly voice but failed miserably.
