#Chapter 232

Theodore’s POV I looked around the rich wood paneling of the conference room. This was one of the rooms in the royal palace that I had thought to be superfluous at first. Why have a room specifically for business meetings when there were twenty-some other places to gather in this unnecessarily large palace? It was growing on me though. It was nice to have a space dedicated to business meetings, a place that helped get me in the business mindset, a place I could leave all thoughts of strategy and diplomacy once I stepped outside. Dahlia, Kincaid, and Sophia sat across from me for this informal meeting we had scheduled to spitball our preparations for the upcoming attack we were anticipating. Riley sat on my right, the chair to my left empty while we waited for Violet to return from the bathroom. In the meantime, the five of us chitchatted. “Here’s a picture of us with both Bravern and Fairweather families.” I passed my phone across the table for our Betas and Sophia to see.
