After a few days of the honeymoon period were over, Arlan finally allowed Oriana to get involved in her responsibilities as the crown princess. And finally, she could spend time with the queen and other family members.
Arlan's dear friends had arrived to meet him as well. Arthur, Nathaniel, and Aaron. Nathaniel and Aaron especially made a long trip to meet the Crown Prince the moment the message of his return reached them.
Arlan was waiting for them at the lounge area of his mansion's first floor, where the cold breeze entering through the huge windows had filled the lounge area.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness," Arthur said in a dramatic tone. "I can't begin to tell you how fortunate we are to have a glimpse of your divine existence after a year," and hugged him.
Arlan hugged him back. "Yeah, I didn't want my most promising lieutenant colonel to go crazy over all that longing towards his liege," Arlan countered smoothly.
