In Luminara, at the Banquet Hall.
Various officials including court advisors, ministers, and judicial officers gathered here, drinking and socializing merrily amongst themselves. However, this seemingly casual official gathering actually concerned a major matter - how to handle Prince Yunis, the Fifth Prince.

He looked around at everyone before continuing:
"But I believe that given Prince Yunis's outstanding achievements - without him, our southern territories may not have been recovered - therefore, his highness cannot die."
