Rafael gave Edwin the command to let Henry inside of the gates and allowed him to come inside his study so they could talk without the servants trying to listen to the conversation.
"Rafael," Henry entered the study with his arms wide open. "It has been a while since I met with you or your father. It is good to be here again."
Rafael did not share the same excitement. Whether Henry would ever be allowed to step foot inside his manor depended on how this conversation would go. "It has not been long. You were here for the party and for dinner when I was asked to escort your daughter."
"That is true but it feels longer for some reason. Our families have never been angry with each other," Henry said, sitting down on a couch in front of Rafael. "Do you have any cigars or something to drink here?"
