Emily sat on her throne, her mind racing with thoughts of the King's proposal.
She had been considering it for days, weighing the pros and cons of forming an alliance with the Dawn Kingdom.
As she sat there, Lyra entered the room, a look of determination on her face. "I've gathered more information about the King's proposal, Shadow Queen," she said. "It seems that the King is seeking to expand his kingdom's influence and power, and he believes that an alliance with us would be beneficial to both parties."
Emily's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with skepticism. "What kind of benefits is he offering?" she asked.
Lyra hesitated, her eyes darting around the room. "He's offering to share his knowledge of the ancient arts, as the messenger said," she replied.
"But there's more to it than that. He's also offering to provide us with military aid and support, in case we need it."
Emily's grip on her shadows tightened, her mind racing with possibilities.
