It's late and with the ongoing event, he was sure that his brother will need rest much more than he did. Handling all the guests will be very taxing.
"It's late," he pointed out. "You should rest rather than coming here."

"You know that's not what I'm saying, Your Majesty," he said in a rather blunt tone. "You need rest. You're so busy with the event."
With a little smile, King Edric Maselli sat on the couch opposite his younger brother. "I think it's right for me to be busy. My younger brother who is supposed to help me is busy with a woman," he dryly said.
