An hour ago:
Dominick had just returned to the palace and sought out his father, Raidan, right before dinner was scheduled to start.
"Nick, where have you been? I visited your room, but you weren't there," Raidan stated, filling a glass with water from a nearby carafe.
"Dad, I resumed the work I put on hold," Dominick said, his voice laced with urgency. "I found out something important."
"What did you find out?" asked Raidan, turning to him as he sipped the water slowly.
At the very moment, Casaio also entered the room, a file tucked under his arm.
"Oh, Casaio has come too," Raidan stated, lowering himself into the nearest chair. Dominick turned around and offered a subtle smile to his brother.
"Dad, I came to get your signature on the project proposal I've been working on for a while. Please go through it once," Casaio requested, placing the file onto the coffee table.
