Though a little over two years had passed since Nicien last saw Prince Nario Qeril of Hezia, the latter still looked exactly the same as the image from his memory.
The young Hezian Prince's appearance was cold like always but this time, he took the initiative to greet Nicien first, perhaps because they were on the Hezian soil.
"Prince Nicien." His gaze was briefly on Nicien's back as if he was expecting another person.
"Prince Nicien has insisted on entering alone, Your Highness." It was the General who informed the Hezian Prince who looked a bit surprised.
Shifting his attention back to Nicien, Prince Nario said, "I admire the trust and I also hope you can understand me for insisting on meeting you here."
