When Drayce returned late that night after helping Arlan with his current issue, he immediately sought out Seren. He had missed her and couldn't wait to catch up on what she had been doing in his absence. Seren eagerly told him about her visit to Keiren's residence.
"...and I don't think Prince Keiren objected to my visit with his wife. In fact, he made sure I returned to the palace safely."
"Now you've tested what you wanted to know. After this, never ask Slayer to leave your side again."
"I won't," she promised. "But I can't deny that I was pleased by how Prince Keiren was displeased when he realized Slayer was gone. He even arranged for my safety. It almost felt like brother Cian was standing in front of me. Fewer words, but actions that clearly show their intentions."
"We are family, after all. He cares about our family as much as we do."
"I see that now." She then held his hand. "Are you really not going to talk to him about what he's up to?"
