Luka hid her relief behind a confident smile. She'd been hoping a representative from East Moreland would make it. For one thing, the ceremonial sword thing was incredibly awesome. For another, opening up friendly discussion was the first step towards things like international trade or political alliances. Considering how much larger and more influential Moreland was, it was crucial that this went well. She just had to remember her advisers' tips and try and be as neutral and welcoming as possible. "Thank you from coming Prime Minister, Mz. Merrimen. I'm Luka Newman, the National Administrator for Chaotilo."
She didn't notice anything unusual about the King staying away. Maybe she would have been more curious or taken note, but Luka was focused on making this banquet a success. These delegates seemed nice. Maybe keeping her temper in check wouldn't be as much of an issue as she'd feared. "I understand, I wouldn't want to take His Majesty away from his own important work," she said with a nod, fiddling with one of her suit buttons "Can I offer you anything? The banquet won't be for a little while longer, but would I either of you care for something to drink in the meantime?"
