The two guards who were outside the hall standing on each side of the double doors saluted upon seeing Nathaniel. They then opened the door for him so he could enter and closed it after him. Inside the spacious study, three other people had been waiting for his arrival.
The Emperor was sitting on the north side of the table, looking regal in his royal robes, while Ezekiel had taken the spot on one of the couches on the left. Lukas was in front of Ezekiel, being cozy as usual, with both of his feet planted atop the table without a care in the world. The two royals weren't fazed by his crass attitude because they are already used to it but not Nathaniel.
Plenty of times, he had questioned himself why Lukas could do things that are known as taboo and disrespectful. He had pestered Ezekiel about this and the latter just laughed it off, saying it's fine.
How is that fine?
I will mass update if my schedule is free! ^^
