Lorien stayed calm, his expression was confident.
"Xandria will stay in that body and the castle." He let out firmly and the courtiers looked at each other skeptically while Xandria crossed her arms.
"What is happening, your highness? Hope… Xandria has not Mani…
"Manipulate me?"
"No, your majesty. I don't mean that, forgive me." The advisor said as he bowed immediately.
"Xandria will stay in the castle for some reason. You're all dismissed, We will continue this discussion tomorrow." Lorien affirmed and they all stood up and bowed then made their way out while Xandria waved at them.
They mumbled loudly as they left while I sat still on my throne, not sure if I was unsatisfied with Lorien's reply or fine with it.
Lorien stood up from his throne and walked up to Xandria. I also stood but maintained my distance to listen to what they were saying.
"Why are you here?" Lorien inquired quietly.
