Garcia' POV
Elder Marianne stands waiting for us at the Palace entrance. She guides our group toward the Throne room, where the entire Royal family and every Elder have gathered. Just before the massive doors, she stops and turns to face me with a meaningful look.
"Dwayne succeeded in assembling everyone inside the Throne room. Every Royal family member is present. Give me two minutes after I enter, then you can make your entrance. King Patton will have issued his command by that point." Elder Marianne explains.
I watch her disappear through the doors and process her words carefully. Within hours, the complete Royal family will learn the truth. The harsh, unforgiving truth.
My Squad moves into position throughout the Throne room, strategically blocking every possible exit. After Herbert signals that everyone is ready, I step through the entrance. Collin and Atticus flank me on both sides, their hands clasping mine in a display of unwavering support.
