"Hello, Trent. Are you still in Kraven?" Morlov's voice cut through as he answered.
"Mr. Morlov!" Trent raised his voice, looking at Marie,
"Father-in-law... I plan to leave today. What's up?"
"It's... can you leave tomorrow? I need to see you."
"I'm afraid it won't be possible. I have a meeting with the President tomorrow. Is there any type of problem?"
Morlov stayed silent for a few seconds, "...Did you hear about---"
"The Emperor's death? It's trending right now. It's such a shock since I saw him give a speech last night."
"I saw the pictures... You were invited to the Astralis Festival in the Palace."
"Weren't you?" Trent asked, feigning surprise, "I could've swore I saw someone like you."
"I... had some other place to be." Morlov muttered
Heh... Indeed.
"I apologize that I won't be able to help. You can call Yvaine if it's a big issue, I'm sure---"
"There's no need to trouble her. And I wanted to discuss business with you. Congratulations on your company's listing."
