And after entering the study room, Zenon replied to the King, “No, nothing bad happened. I just wanted to inform you that the messenger I sent to Orsenia just arrived with the news about the meeting with the Crown Prince.”

Caspian wasn’t expecting the meeting to be fixed this soon. He looked over his shoulder and asked, “You didn’t send the horseback riders?”

“No. I sent the messenger on foot. Since it was an issue that needs to be resolved soon, I didn’t feel like wasting the time on the road by pretending that we need a horse,” Zenon replied.

“Umm…” Caspian turned around to look at Zenon and raised his brows in surprise. “I thought being reckless was my job and not yours,” he made a satirical remark on the usually composed advisor of his.

Zenon chuckled and replied as he watched the King taking his seat behind the desk, “I wasn’t being reckless, Your Majesty. Just efficient. The messenger was in and out of Orsenia while it was still dark.”

“Oh, okay…” Caspian nodded while still giving Zenon a satirical look. “And how did he enter the castle of Orsenia again? Did he happen to break in? Or did he pretend that he arrived there in an invisible horse?”

Zenon smiled as if he was caught by the King.

When Caspian gave a narrow-eyed look to Zenon, he stood in front of Caspian and then narrated what he had asked the messenger.

.....

“I specifically asked the messenger to be cautious about the surroundings and ordered him that he wasn’t supposed to be seen by anyone except the Crown Prince or our soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the Prince.”

“Ah!” Caspian sighed and said, “So he broke in.”

Zenon thought for a while with his brows raised, and then awkwardly replied, “Er… he was let in… by our soldiers… So, he wasn’t technically breaking in.”

“Ugh! Whatever!” Caspian rolled his eyes at Zenon and asked, “So, when’s the meeting? And where?”

Zenon’s face suddenly became serious as if he instantly wore the mask of the King’s advisor. He looked Caspian in the eyes and answered, “I had asked the messenger to agree to any time and date the Crown Prince would suggest. And you two are going to meet at the border of Sorvando and Orsenia at 8 PM tonight.”

Zenon turned his head to look at the wall clock that was hanging on the wall behind him. And he added, “He might have already set off on his journey for the meeting.”

“Oh…” Caspian nodded and praised how things were going at a great speed. “That’s great then. I hadn’t expected the meeting to be tonight, but I appreciate it. The faster we are done with that case, the better.”

Zenon agreed with the King and further clarified that the meeting was happening this soon because of the willingness of the Crown Prince as well.

“The messenger told me that the Crown Prince also received the letter from the King of Xanmar stating his innocence in the attack. And apparently, the Crown Prince had also sent a letter to Sorvando to fix a meeting with you. But we were faster in approaching him. And when our messenger proposed to have a meeting, the Prince readily agreed to it since he had already made up his mind about the meeting.”

“I’m glad that things worked out just fine,” Caspian replied. And he looked at the clock and asked, “So, when are we heading for the border then?”

Zenon readily replied to the King about their departure time, “We will reach the border in time if we head out at around 3:30. I suggest that we cancel our meeting with the ministers and focus on the files instead.”

Caspian looked at Zenon with vacant eyes and grumbled as if he was greatly displeased by what he just heard, “I am done looking at the files for a few days. I worked my butt off yesterday. I will vomit if I see one file on my desk today.”

Zenon looked at the King’s desk to see that the King had indeed looked at all the files that were pending. Since there weren’t any new files to look focus on at the moment, Zenon smiled and asked, “Then, shall we go and visit the town today? We can–”

Before Zenon could state the purpose of their visit, Caspian slammed his palms on the desk and got up. “Yes! Let’s go!”

Zenon couldn’t help but scoff and shake his head at that childish excitement of the King. He was looking too happy just because he didn’t have to go through the files until his mind went numb.

As they walked down the corridor, Caspian suddenly frowned and asked Zenon, “Where’s Vincent these days? I haven’t seen him around lately.”

Zenon pursed his lips and answered sarcastically, “Oh, he is always around. But I guess he found someone else to pester.”

“And who is that someone else?” Caspian slowed down a bit so that he would walk side-by-side with Zenon.

Zenon smiled and looked down as he stepped on the stairs. He cleared his throat and replied while his smile never left his lips, “I think you already know who that is, Your Majesty.”

“Who? Hamilton?” Caspian sounded a bit jealous when he asked that. “Has my cousin been coming to the castle that often?”

Zenon looked at Caspian as if he was looking at someone dumb. And he stated the obvious, “He’s always around Tilla! Sometimes he even follows Tilla to the Queen’s chamber!”

Caspian suddenly stopped on his track with a slightly irritated look on his face. He looked at Zenon and then ordered him, “Tell that bastard that His Majesty has summoned him. How can he come to the castle and go home without even greeting me once?”

Caspian frowned at himself when he felt as if he was sounding a bit jealous. So, he instantly corrected himself, “I mean, I am not jealous or anything that he has found other companies than me. But… he ought to greet me at least once a day, right?”

Zenon clasped his palms behind his back while visibly suppressing his laughter. He then nodded and replied in a suppressed voice, “Sure.”

“You–”

Before Caspian could scold Zenon for laughing at him, Zenon sped up to head towards the garden, hoping he will find Vincent somewhere around.
