The Dragon King

Chapter 3

The next day Ezran had a meeting with his advisers to keep up to date with everything that is happening in the kingdom.
Counselor: Prince Ezran, I have not yet decided the punishment for the acts done by Viren.
Ezran: I don't know what to say ...
Four years ago, Viren admitted that he killed King Harrow because he no longer resisted the dirty thought that he killed the person who believed in him the most and helped him. especially the life of Claudia and Soren. But so they managed to bring definitive peace between the kingdoms of the people and Xadia. Soren and Claudia left for their mother, humiliated and sad because of their father.
Counselor: Soren and Claudia will return in two days to their father's trial.
Ezran: I know ...
Counselor: I propose to give him the death penalty. He eventually killed two kings, both the king of dragons and ours and stole the dragon prince.
Ezran became nervous.
Ezran: Yes, you don't have to remember all this! I'll think about what to do, I need time!
Counselor: No more time!
Ezran: I NEED TIME! * yelled * Sorry, I j-just need some fresh air! The sitting stops here!
Counselor: But ...
Ezran: No "but". I want to get out.
Counselor: Okay, I ask the soldiers to escort you.
Ezran: No, I want to go ALONE!

An hour after Ezran left, Rayla found out, hearing his counselors talk about what happened.
Counselor 1: ... yes, he is too immature to be king.
Counselor 2: If he left like he did today and he has a nervous breakdown, how he will be our new king? He's just a child.
Counselor 3: Do not overdo it, he did not have a nervous breakdown. Plus you opened a very delicate subject for his majesty.
Counselor 2: What did you mean? Are there things that need to be resolved before coronation.
Rayla: * hearing everything * Wait, wait, wait! Where did Ezran go?
Counselor 1: We don't know.
Counselor 2: If he doesn't come back ?!
Counselor  3: Do you listen to our conversations ?!
Rayla: If I didn't probably hear that I didn't even have the opportunity to find out what you did to poor Ez!
Counselor 2: I didn't do anything!
Rayla: Ughhh ... I knew what I was saying ... Ezran is definitely coming back. Be careful how you behave.
Counselor 2: We don't get oridine from you, elves.
Rayla: Oh, it wasn't an order.
Counselor 1: What do you mean?
Rayla: I'll let you think about it. Now I have to go and tell Prince Callum what happened.

Rayla told Callum everything that had happened.
Callum: You were right, Rayla.
Rayla: I know.
Callum: I am also worried about the return of Claudia and Soren and the judgment of Viren. It is a difficult decision for Ezran, plus Claudia and Soren are our friends.
Rayla: I still don't trust them ... Whatever Ezran decides, we have to support him.
Callum: Yes ...
Rayla: Where do you think he went?
Callum: I don't know, but I'm convinced he's fine.
