"Your Highness, it's from Commander Iria." Kerin bowed as he handed a letter to Prince Orius. The latter was standing near a window, staring at the view of the capital provided by his room. There was a cup of wine in his hand but he never took a sip.
He took the letter and handing the wine to Kerin, he walked away from the window and read the contents. "Commander Iria is going to Zoris with the Crown Prince." He muttered.
"Zoris? What will you do?" Kerin quickly asked him.
Giving a thought, the Prince's lips curved into a smile. "I have a good plan."

Iria was in her chamber alone. She sat on the chair and tapped the table again and again, concentrating on her thoughts. Then Rion knocked on the door and walked inside.
"Still no news?" Iria promptly asked him.
Rion shook his head. They will depart for Zoris early in the next morning but... Prince Orius hadn't replied to her letter. This troubled Iria a lot. What did that unpredictable Prince have in mind?!
