Sunday was considered a day of rest and reflection before the fasting began in preparation for the religious observances on Monday. Daimon and Rowena were both ready for some leisure time after a very eventful week.
Daimon was already tired of running the Empire and was curious as to why his father suddenly turned over all of these tasks to him. 'Perhaps he's just trying to prepare me for the day when I will become Emperor.' He thought, although that didn't really sound like his father. His father never seemed to care if Daimon was prepared or even willing to do anything. He just threw him into the deep end to either sink or swim on his own with no guidance or encouragement. Of course, Daimon was strong and resourceful, so he always managed to succeed. However, he didn't really think his father truly cared one way or the other.
