To Ruin an Incompetent King III

Aster was pacing around the corridor with Gamasiel, then he stopped in front of the king public chamber where the officials already gathered to report about the current affairs and troubles in Rhea.

"This is the public chamber, right?" Aster asked.

"Yes, let's go inside. I have plenty of work to do," Gamasiel said, he wanted to hold Aster's hand, but Aster took a few steps back and shook his head.

"It's best for me not to go in, I will leave now."

"Why?" Gamasiel frowned, wouldn't it be better if Aster was present in front of the court? So, the minister would know him and came to respect him later on.

"Because I'm just a refugee here," there was a trace of sadness in Aster's face, "My duchy might be able to stand side by side with Rhea, but I don't bear that name now. You should do your duty well as the king, your ministers are waiting for you."

"Then, where will you go? Will you wait for me?" Gamasiel asked.
