Meanwhile,
"Father this is absurd, I am heir to the throne. I deserve every right to be at whatever secret meeting you are heading to." The first prince was as usual being a nuisance. He had learned about the meeting only earlier today and that was because the emperor had to arrange for a landing zone within the place to be reserved for the ship that would be arriving to take him off planet.
The emperor was currently sitting on his throne in the throne room. He had just finished with a budgetary meeting. There was a gap between the budget meeting and the arranged pickup time so he decided to oblige his son's request for a meeting. His daughter had come to watch the fireworks when she learned what her brother was going to ask about. If the emperor had known what his son would be asking about he would have never accepted the meeting in the first place.
