"The royal healer has already examined Princess Takoda. She'll need warmth, rest, and continuous observation. Prepare the east wing."
"It will be done."
"The Luna is also exhausted."
"I'll make sure everything is prepared."
Marcus paused before delivering one final instruction.
"Increase security throughout Nightfall City. Seal every entrance and exit. Until further notice, no one enters or leaves the city without authorization."
Kael's expression hardened.
"It will be done."

The residence immediately sprang to life.
Servants hurried through the halls preparing the royal suites.
Housekeepers rushed to light fireplaces and warm the rooms.
The kitchens were awakened to prepare hot meals and fresh drinks.
