Chapter 182: Dreary

"How did it go?" Alex asked. He looked cautious.

Davien shrugged, barely meeting his brother's eyes. "We have somewhere to be. Were you waiting out here the whole time?"

"Kind of."

"Where is Father?" Davien asked.

"I don't know, he should be heading to the Grand Chambers now."

"Alright, let's head there," Davien said, and his brother nodded.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked as he walked beside Davien.

"Never better," he mumbled. He didn't want to talk about it.

"Okay," Alexander said, and he frowned as his eyes rested on Nathan. He wasn't alone; Stelian was right next to him, leading him towards the Grand Chambers.

"Stelian," Davien called, ignoring Nathan.

"Your Highness," Stelian nodded, then turned to Alex. "Alexander."

"Stelian," Alex replied, then turned his attention to Nathan, whose gaze was glued to his brother's face.
