"Thank you so much Mr. Borbon for bringing joy to today's event."
"Yes Mr. Borbon, it's always been our pleasure to have you as our guest"

His all attention was on Ivan who was with kids, smiling and talking to them. His eyes shifted back on the people who tried to converse with him then again moved at Ivan, not missing his smallest gestures.

He indeed looked like a family guy when all of these things were foreign to Augustus. But still, it was weird for him to find peace whenever Ivan looked happy.
