With an authoritative "Come in" from the Duke, the room welcomed Safie, who greeted the men with a respectful bow before announcing,
"Your Grace, I have come to inform you that His Majesty's chambers are prepared. I have also drawn a hot bath and arranged fresh towels. And I must repeat that the room itself is still not warm enough."
Yuraon stood up, stretching his body and inadvertently drawing attention to his partially exposed torso which now was even more revealed than before.
"Well, a bath does sound enticing. After all, I have spent considerable time on the road. I'd like to freshen up before joining you and your lovely fiancée for dinner. Please do inform me when the meal is ready, Your Grace."
Tillian nodded to the young King and issued an instruction for the maid,
"Safie, please escort His Majesty to his chambers and assist him if needed."
"Yes, My Lord," Safie responded dutifully.
