The day after Aeron had first been brought to the palace was supposed to be the day of his judgment. That was what they told him, the council would gather, and the king would hear what was to be done with him. But that day came, and a messenger arrived saying the session had been postponed.
Some council members had claimed they could not attend, and the first to make such an excuse was none other than Lord Voryn Vanýr himself. Without the full council present, the king decided to delay the matter.
And so, Aeron stayed.
One day became two, two became seven, and before long, the weeks were passing by. He found himself in the palace far longer than he had expected. The longer he stayed, the more he missed home, his mother, his friends, and, most of all, Draco.
