When Hinrik arrived at his father's study, his Uncle Mavy stood there, obediently waiting for him.
He looked concerned, and the young prince thought about all the possibilities of why his uncle, who never cared about the crown, had suddenly come up to him for something.
Hinrik opened the study, fighting off the images that invaded his mind as he stepped inside. He gestured for his uncle to follow and locked the doors afterwards.
As instructed, Malcolm left the key to the study and the documents that needed his attention.
Inviting his uncle to take a seat, Hinrik located the bottle of liquor his father kept and two glasses. He poured one for himself and one for his uncle.
"No matter their intent, hospitality and being human comes first."
