A different scenery awaited Khan outside Alexander's office. Princess Felicia was still there, but a few figures had joined her. Gordon, Lynn, and two other guards had reached the corridor to create a proper escort party, but Khan barely looked at them. He ignored them even when they lowered their heads and voiced a clear "Prince Khan".

"How did it go?" Princess Felica asked as soon as the office's door closed.

Khan ignored the question and gazed at one end of the corridor. Although the conversation had been inconclusive, it provided insights into some fields.

"Do the noble families have no Patriarchs and Matriarchs?" Khan questioned, his gaze still wandering on the corridor.

Princess Felicia smiled. Spending time with Khan confirmed her assumptions. He needed minor tweaks but had all the right cards to be a powerhouse inside the Nognes family.
