After all the servants had been searched one by one, King Avery ordered everyone to return to their rooms. It was still dark and now it's still at half past two.
Then Avery spoke to Darian alone in an empty kingdom hall. Just the two of them in there.
Darian sits across from Avery. Elie just left after serving two warm drinks for both of them.
"What do you want to talk to me about, your majesty?" Ask Darian politely.
Avery smiled. "I just wanted to have a little chat with you. Ariadne is being pacified by Alice in the room. She was shocked by Meghan's statement."
Darian nodded his understanding. "I myself am also very surprised."
"Right. Everyone was shocked by the truth. You remember our first meeting, don't you? When Ariadne was only ten. And we were together thirteen years of age."
"Yes, your majesty. I remember the meeting.
"I don't think I've ever apologized to you, Darian."
"Sorry for what, your majesty?"
