Chapter 101: Absolute Obedience

Inside the Palace of Thistle, the royal residence of the Crown Prince of Griven.

Arlan's butler, the gentle-looking Roman, walked inside the study where the Crown Prince could be seen working all by himself. It was nighttime, and his administrative aides had long retired to their own homes. 

Multiple ornate lamps illuminated the large room, causing the entire study to be as bright as day. This was clearly the preference of the Crown Prince who disliked the darkness of the night.

Roman put the tray he brought on the table and silently served tea for his hardworking master. Arlan stopped writing and accepted the tea.

"Your Highness, I have received news from the royal chamberlain. The new servants will be arriving at the palace tomorrow morning. Out of them, one is appointed to the Palace of Thistle."
