Lief felt ready to take a long vacation, as Doris and Arturius Nebel finally departed Eks Corp's primary Central Station. Arturius Nebel was still successfully holding his position as Nova Corp's heir despite, or perhaps because of, his willingness to engage in shady maneuvers.
The Nova Corp heir had barely acknowledged the eldest Prince of Eks Corp, despite the tense circumstances they had last met in. Arturius Nebel was very good at holding a bland facade. Both he and Doris had swept through the Eks Corp station as though Ezra Rian had invited them aboard his own corporate headquarters.
To Lief's dismay, the pair had been well received by almost everyone who saw them. Their very flashy and prominent wedding had made them immediately recognizable to far more people than he had expected. The security teams assigned to them had come from the King's own staff, and there hadn't even been any kind of dramatic incident, but Lief felt exhausted.
