The council mentioned might be like some of the older kingdoms where there is some form of council which includes the king / queen and a bunch of nobles. The Roman Empire, Renaissance Italy, Anglo-Saxon England all had a form of this.

They might act as modern monarchies do in places like the UK, Spain, Denmark and Japan which are governed by a democratically elected council and have a powerless hereditary head of state.
