Yuletide: The Throne Room

The Throne Room

When they all walked through the portal they saw that the throne room had been decorated for the solstice.

“Wow! This is very … festive.” Dionne said.

Lady Aura, Lady Victra and Princess Endora giggled.

“He did go a bit overboard.” Prince Dragas said.

“There you all are.” King Harrick said as he came from behind a large decorated pine tree. “What do you think?”

“Definitely festive.” Prince Dragas chuckled. “I didn’t know we had so many decorations.”

“The Ladies of the Court did the decorating. Honestly, I hate it but the children are coming from Alton and Astoria for a little party so I let them go overboard.” King Harrick said.

“We just came to look at the decorations in Alton.” Prince Dragas told the King.

“Are sure I can’t get you to stay? Dragas, you and Aura are part of the Royal Family, you know.” King Harrick said.

“We can’t stay this time, Harrick. We need to get Endora and Dionne home soon.” Lady Aura said. The children’s party was always chaotic and exhausting.

Princess Endora nodded backing up her sister in the excuse.

“Fine but you need to help me make some decisions but before that I want to know one thing. Who are you?” King Harrick pointed at Paddrick.

“He is Prince Paddrick of the Tylwyth Teg.” Endora said. His mother and my grandmother are in negotiations for our betrothal.

“Hmph. My sympathies. Marriage should be about love and nothing else.” King Harrick said. “Isn’t that right Dragas?”

Prince Dragas nodded. “What are we helping you decide?”

“What should I serve? Cookies or cake?” King Harrick asked.
