After everyone had finished their breakfast, Alaric cleared his throat, drawing the attention of those still seated around the table. "I would like to inform Father and Mother that I've decided to go on a short trip with my wife to Niveria," he announced, his voice calm and resolute.
The announcement was met with expressions of delight and approval from everyone at the table.
"That's wonderful to hear, Alaric!" Margaret exclaimed, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "I've been telling you to take some time to go out with your wife for such a long time," she added, a note of satisfaction in her voice.
His father, King Esmond, nodded in agreement, a proud smile on his face. "It's a good decision, son. For how long will you two stay in Niveria?" he asked.
"For a month, Father," Alaric replied.
