Chapter 237

Chapter 27 A day in the life of a king

William’s POV

The room stood when William entered. Any sense of conversation was forgotten and gone as if it was never there. They watched his every breath as if it would be the answer to every question they had.

“This won’t take long, your majesty. We know you have a lot on your plate.” The queen said as they all sat. William had three more meetings today after this and then he had to meet villagers that had quarrels in their neighborhoods.

“Going off of what we discussed yesterday, we gave it a bit more thought and decided that a shared trade route is necessary for our kingdoms.” The king said. He slid William a piece of golden paper.

The rulers shared a glance and the queen cleared her throat and threw on a new smile. “We will have to talk on that some more— “
