Avaria
The Duke of Zenith was talking to Princess Yara who didn't even seem to listen to him. Even the Duke was surprised by the Princess's lack of interest.
In the past, the Princess often took her brother's place when the latter wasn't in Avaria but... she was never this inattentive!
What's wrong with her?
Though Duke Zenith was the King's most trusted advisor, he had no idea of the reason why the King suddenly traveled. But now, he somehow believed that it might concern the Princess. The way the Princess behaved now said so.
"Your Highness, would you like me to brief you later?" the Duke finally said to Princess Yara. "You don't look so fine. Please have some rest."
There was no response from the Princess only to make the Duke more confused.
"Your Highness."
