243 Round-about

Dominic followed Kalmin as he led down the hallway, away from the dining chamber in silence with Litian following closely behind them. 

"Where are we going, Kalmin?" Dominic asked. 

"You'll see in a minute your highness," Kalmin responded as they turned the hallway and led them to the staircase of the floor.

Dominic held back his questions as they walked down the flight of stairs to the second floor. "I hope you won't take too long leading us." 

"I would never want to tire you out, your highness, just give me another minute or two," Kalmin responded stoically as they walked down the last two steps and continued down into the hallway. 

"Ok then…" Dominic replied.
