"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived.", an eunuch announced.
"Send him in.", the king commanded
The Prince asked after his greetings, "You called for me, father?"
"Yes. Have you spoken with him yet, the leader?"
"No. Not yet father. I have been able to convinced his brother to help me in setting up a meeting with him."
"And did he agree to it?"
"Yes father."
"Good. Good. Good. I need you to hurry with your plans. I have to meet with him sooner than later, otherwise things will be out of hands.
Since Lan is giving you his support now, then we're halfway through getting him to soften up. I'll advise you to stop everything else that you're doing and hang around his brother.
He'll definitely be showing up once in a while. This way meeting him will be faster, and he'll believe that you and his brother are close again.
In his own chambers, the Prince was also thinking that what the king said was good idea.
