That night, when the clock struck twelve, Inna's birthday had been celebrated by everyone. Alaric's wife had to retire early to bed since she had inevitable duties to fulfill in the morning, whilst she left everyone to themselves while her personal servant escorted her to her quarters. Amade and Oliver were also present at that time, and it was a special treat from Alaric since they had done so much for his Kingdom, thus, allowing the future Duke and his family to celebrate their accomplishments in his Palace wasn't much of a big deal for him.
Cassian was more of his right-hand man, but also his trusted friend.
