Gilded captive heart

amidst the festivities, an unexpected and heated argument erupted between the brothers and their Royal advisers. Tensions flared as voices clashed in disagreement over matters of state. The once-harmonious atmosphere turned turbulent, and the brothers defended their convictions with unwavering determination.

As the argument raged on, Nova, who usually acted as a peacemaker in such situations, was conspicuously absent from the verbal sparring. The absence of her calming presence was palpable.

Erindor, lorvik, and Zyrell, engaged in the debate, gradually became aware of the void Nova's absence had created in the room.

Despite the heated exchange of words, the brothers couldn't help but notice the absence of their queen, their mate. Her empty chair at the grand table cast a noticeable void amidst the revelry.

Erindor's keen observation caught the attention of lorvik and Zyrell. He subtly nudged them, and they exchanged concerned glances but chose not to interrupt the ongoing argument.

As the argument continued to escalate, it became increasingly clear that Nova was not present to quell the discord, as she often did. The brothers' thoughts were consumed by her absence, and their concern for her well-being grew.

Erindor finally decided to address the advisers with a distracted tone. "We must adjourn this for now. There's an urgent matter that requires our attention."

The advisers, taken aback by the sudden halt in the debate, looked puzzled. Without offering an explanation, the brothers hastily left the grand ballroom, their footsteps echoing through the opulent corridors as they embarked on a frantic search for Nova amidst the continued celebration.
