By the time, Azimir reached Ideni, it was already midnight. Although he had departed from Aranill in the early hours of dawn, he had taken his time to reach home. He was not in rush and on his way, he even made sure to buy a few souvenirs for his people, despite it not being necessary.
In a few days, he would be returning to Aranill. But then, only his Gamma would accompany him while hie Beta would look over his kingdom in his absence. In such a situation, not all people could visit Aranill and he took it upon himself to bring presents to his close ones who had been loyal and amicable to him all these years.
Azimir's smile never left his face all the time during his journey and even when he reached Ideni, he did not stop smiling. Even when he saw his Gamma waiting for him outside his castle, he did not stop smiling and his cheerful expression, in turn, made Zavid smile in confusion. He stared at his Alpha in wonder and looked at him keenly.
