Elian followed Finn behind as they walked through the hall.
Everywhere was properly decorated, flowers adorning the walls, tables covered in beautiful cloths, and curtains beautified with silk colourful ribbons.
Maids and male servants were busy putting some finishing touches all over the place, making sure everything was perfect for the ball.
The engagement was really happening tonight.
They approached Lucien's study and Finn gave Elian a slow nod before walking back to his post.
Elian took a deep breath and knocked once.
There was hesitation before the door was unlocked.
"Oh, good morning, dear Elian. Here to take on your new role?" Rowena asked kindly.
Elian lifted his face, glancing past Rowena's shoulder and toward the man who was sitting behind his desk with his face buried in work.
"I was summoned by His Grace," Elian murmured, looking away from Lucien, who had clearly chosen to ignore him after summoning him.
Rowena nodded, "Oh, please, come in–"
