Prince Karium entered the capital of Welahan in the afternoon and he reached the palace right before the sunset. However, when he entered the King's working chamber, what first welcomed him was the disappointed face of his brother.
Karium already expected this as he was well aware of how much his brother prioritized his safety. After he stood still for a while, wondering what to do, he slowly walked towards the King who now turned his back at him.
"Brother."
His brother didn't respond or react, making Karium feel more anxious.
"Please forgive me," Karium Maselli muttered as he lowered his gaze. "I lost control and go there while you told me to wait -"
"Do you think that's the problem here, Karium?" Edric Maselli spoke up for the first time but he didn't turn around to face his brother at all.
"I know," the Prince replied. "You're worried about my safety."
