In the Kingdom of Anemoi, the neighboring Kingdom of Helios Youngest Prince Dylan de Helios comes to visit along with a diplomatic envoy. Seven years ago, they had lost contact with the Crown Princess Lyra and the Eldest Princess Astrid of Anemoi. S...
Delilah was quite clever and failed to permit anything to slip and quickly excused herself out of there.
Dylan and Xavier wandered around the lush garden a bit more. In particular Dylan was eagerly trying to precisely locate the private library where he and Lyra typically used to play when they were little.
During their venture they overheard someone call out to them only to find the maid Rosa calling them to the private parlor where the royal family was waiting eagerly for them.

When they reached the private parlor, Dylan encountered the same people as last night's official dinner aside from one seat which was still empty. The owner of the seat, Princess Lyra, was however not there.
Dylan subtly reminded Duke Nabal (the acting head) about the trading talks they typically had to carefully discuss which Nalan dismissed nonchalantly. He in return advised Dylan to relax and keenly enjoy himself since it was only his first day in the country.
"Hubris knows a lot of prominent places to visit then please do take dear Prince Dylan with you. It will be more excellent if Prince sees how well our kingdom is doing and all the new progress we have been making."
"That sounds brilliant. Rest assured Prince, I'll show you all around the mighty kingdom. Although I may be a bit engaged these days, would it be pleasanter if we departed a few days later?"
"I remain your guest. Whatever you suggest, I agree with that."
Dylan smiled wryly as he replied politely.
"I heartily wish to eagerly join them as well."
Karen spoke up to which Hubris snorted,
"You're a kid. You can't hang out with adults."
"I am turning 17 this year!"
As they all teased and laughed with each other, Dylan turned to Princess Astrid,
"Will you be joining us?"
"I will have to see. I can't promise for sure."
"I would like it if you and Lyra came as well. I haven't met Lyra yet."
"Once again I apologize for that. She still doesn't know you are here. All, she comprehends is that there are scholars here to discuss trade and diplomatic talks. Since uncle handles all of this, she deems it unnecessary to join us."
"I thought being the crown princess, she must partake strongly in these things."
"She does but only the work that father accepts to perform. The things that fall under our uncle's jurisdiction, he handles it by himself. Oh right, this reminds me. You have yet to greet father. I apologize for that as well. He isn't doing so well these days. He did express his wish to meet you. How would you like to meet him in the afternoon?"
"I would appreciate that very much. It's been a long time since I saw him. I wish that his health is faring well than yesterday."
