They both returned to their meal, savoring the flavors.
As they finished their food, Nikolas pushed his plate away. "That was deliciou."
Adrian nodded in agreement. "The castle's chef is unmatched."
Their conversation flowed again.
"Tell me more about your life here," Adrian asked.
Nikolas leaned back in his chair. "It's been... eventful. Alexander's guidance and love is my strength."
Nah, am going through with my plan, Adrian thought, how dare him bring Alexander love into the discussion.
"Alexander is a very good mate" Adrian said.
Nikolas nodded. "Very and he is always attentive"
Their lunch concluded and Adrian was trying to stop himself from spoiling his plan, he needed to gain Nikolas trust.
Nikolas stood" Let's go to the library." he said as he doesn't have anything else to do.
Adrian grinned. "Okay" And together, they strolled out of the dining room with a comfortable silence.
