At the royal treasury place, the Fifth Prince was clearing up his work space - he was more than serious when he told his father that he was quitting. He turned, and saw the Great Impaler standing just near the door. Theo jumped, "Zander, by the gods you startled me."
"Sorry," Zander said. Theo couldn't still understand how Zander sneaks up on someone like that, he was quite stealthy like an assassin.
"When did you return?" Theo asked.
"A few minutes ago." Zander informed.
"Let me guess, the peace talk was a failure." Theo said.
"It absolutely was. Can I come in?" Zander asked.
"Sure, of course." Theo replied as he dropped the books he held inside an open sliver box. The great impaler came in, his eyes observing what Theo was doing.
"Why are you packing?" Zander asked, as he sat on a certain cushioned chair that was laid aside.
"I quit my court job." Theo informed.
