The meeting went on for one more hour. And when King Dragomir finally believed that all of the immediate issues were taken care of in the discussion, he invited everyone present in the meeting to have dinner with him.
All of those present in the meeting were heading towards the dinner hall in King Dragomir's quarter. Dragomir wanted everyone to connect better so that they would be comfortable with depending on each other for the coming war.
Dragomir and Theodore were walking in front of everyone. As all the others behind were busy talking among themselves, Dragomir took this opportunity to ask something that was bothering him recently.
"Theodore," Dragomir softened his voice even further, almost into a whisper, and asked, "have you met your father recently? Has he told you anything about the exact day he will be sending the grim reaper? He said he would be sending someone for my soul within a month, didn't he?"
