~Who is the most sensible person? The one who finds what is to their own advantage in all that happens to them~
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

His imperial father, the king had taken the day off abruptly again, once again
leaving matters of the court to crown prince Jaran to handle, and with Jalan's absence, there was no one for him to share his work in half with whilst ignoring their begrudging glares. Jaran missed his little brother already, as cold and distant as Jalan appeared, to Jaran his little brother was the one he could rely on the most.
