"Arios," Dyon called out to the handsome young man.
"Yes, Successor?"
Dyon waved his hand, "don't call me that, it'll only make me feel bad. Just call me Dyon," Dyon smiled bitterly.
Arios smiled in acknowledgement.
"Since you've were part of the Elvin Kingdom for a while… what do you know about its troubles?"
Arios was surprised by Dyon's question, but quickly continued to answer, "as an outsider… not much. But, over the course of the few months I stayed there, I did come to know of some things.
"For one, their king has been missing for a long while, and with him, his daughter, the princess."
Dyon nodded. He remembered Ri mentioning her cousin. But, considering that was the one and only time, Dyon didn't doubt that this princess was gone.
