The Duke of Sylfinnier had not only learned of their arrival but also learned the moment the two other beloved members of his family had left their domains to come to the place they have been residing for the past nine days.
It was the first and only report he had received from his trusty Butler. Wishing to ensure his eldest child of how much he trusted his skill to manage his household in his absence, Orland had requested to only be informed of his wife's and son's departure to the Palace for today's event.
