Dante wasted no time in consolidating his power. The circumstances were less than ideal, but he had to work with them nonetheless. Thanks to Benoit’s attempted coup, the risk of unrest within the Kingdom was much higher than originally planned and as such, Dante strove to take action. Within the first week of his assuming the throne, official notices were dispatched to each of the Dukes (or their equivalent) requesting their presence at a meeting to plan for the future of the kingdom. Vulcanis was the most distant and thus Dante gave them two weeks to either send their High Laird or a suitable representative.
The man was, fortunately, tactful enough not to be bedecked in overtly royal clothing. Since the coronation had not yet taken place, he wore no accoutrement that necessarily displayed his station. Besides, the original family crown was still on its way from Talencia for the coronation that would take place within the next few weeks. Instead, the man was styled in fashionable clothing of blue and white tones, matching his family colors. The room selected was typically used for council meetings, but the décor suited Dante’s needs for the time being. Wine, cheese and bread had been set out for his incoming guests.
Dante himself was not yet present. When the lords had assembled themselves, then he would make his grand entrance. For the time being, he was settled into a nearby office, quietly conferring with his sister on various matters. He didn’t tell her that he was nervous, and yet… confident.
