Chapter 40: Clouds of War

Dinner at the palace was always an event, but with the arrival of Katreena and her family, the Queen planned an extra special meal. The children who were used to stews, whole grain breads, and an occasional roasted animal were wide-eyed at the parade of elaborate foods, finely prepared for as much presentation as taste, topped with a table filled with desserts that would feed an entire village. Katreena tried in the most polite way possible to say it was all too much, but Queen Allison dismissed it stating that she had no idea what the children liked and wanted to make sure they each found a favorite.
