Finn sat with other people of his royal class, mainly some of the Lords and Ladies that he had made friends with. They were some of the few humans in this country that didn't despise elves. As he listened to the Queen's speech he kept trying to catch her sister, Serena's, eye. They had met when he had came to Estoria two months ago. When they fell in love Finn decided to prolong his trip. His father would never approve of a human. He'd probably collapse the moment Serena entered the Illinor Woods. 

Finn applauded and stood with everyone else and fell in line with the other members of royalty that would be dining with the Queen. Finn had no bad feelings about the Queen. Of course she was young and inexperienced but she would learn. And she had plenty of allies to help her. Finn was sure that he could negotiate some kind of deal with her that would please his father and also offer up the help of elves in the war against the dwarves. As much as his father hated humans, he was a sucker for a good deal, and ever since the drunken son of the dwarf king had vomited all over the castle floor, the dwarves had a bad rap with him.
