The carriage kept a leisurely pace to the Palace, in direct contrast to the rush that the staff were in to get them ready for the trip.

"That's the formal tone for a Duke. They want you to exit first and greet the King's advisors, then I will exit second."
Now, she was definitely not happy.

There was no formal announcement of name and title as Dominic stepped down, but the King's closest advisors, including Morgana, were there to greet him.
"Welcome home." The Techno Witch whispered as Dominic reached her spot in the line.
"For now, at least." Dominic agreed.
