"The Seventh Prince of Cretea arrives in the throne room of His Majesty." A servant announced his presence. Raphael arrived at his father's throne room and saw the older man sitting on his throne silently.
Despite the number of festivities and banquets held in his honor, the King of Cretea didn't seem to pay much attention. The only indicator that his father was celebrating was the presence of a wine goblet in his hand.
For a moment, Raphael waited and saw his father make a motion with his hand and a servant suddenly declared. "The King of Cretea permits the Seventh Prince to ascend up by 1,444th steps of the Pantheon."
There used to be no need for any formalities between a meeting of a father and son. However, this time, there was some distance. A certain gravitas in the atmosphere dictated whether or not a god or goddess could approach their King.
