A Monarchy Shaken Insiders report that the loss involves a senior member of the royal family, though specific details remain tightly guarded. The implications are said to be immense, sending shockwaves through Eldoria and raising questions about the future direction of the monarchy. Prince Arlen’s Emotional Announcement As the family tried to gather composure, Prince Arlen stepped forward, his voice breaking as he addressed the nation: “With immeasurable sorrow, we must announce that…” His words hung in the air, heavy with grief, leaving even veteran court reporters speechless. Witnesses describe the scene as surreal: tears streamed down faces of nobles who rarely show emotion in public, while servants and advisors clutched one another for support. The Palace in Mourning Palace aides reportedly instructed staff to dim all lights and prepare the Grand Hall for a vigil, with hundreds of candles already lit. Flower arrangements were scattered across the marble floors, some tipped over in the chaos of shock and emotion.
Princess Anne took a breath that seemed to carry the weight of decades. “We are deeply saddened…” she began, but her voice faltered. For a long moment, she simply looked down, gathering herself. Every second of her pause made the room feel smaller, the air thicker. And then, with a voice steadier but still marked by heartbreak, she revealed the reason for the gathering. A beloved figure—someone who had quietly shaped the heartbeat of the monarchy—was gone.
It was not only the loss of a person, but the loss of a constant, a symbol of steadiness that had anchored the family through turbulent times. Gasps broke the silence. Some covered their mouths; others wiped away tears. Queen Camilla closed her eyes, her hand resting on King Charles’s arm. The King did not speak, but his face, pale and drawn, spoke volumes.
