Duke Kellen’s POV
My brother and I watch as Prince Alex and Cassidy leaves and Councilman Laren enters. It does not escape our notice that the Councilman sneers very minutely at the foreign Princes. But now is not the time to reprimand him. Not when he believes himself the majority in the room.
Councilman Laren was almost a good twenty years younger than us, but he still carried the same puritanical mindset his own father had instilled in him. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
We do not stand when he stands before us.

Ollie motioned for Laren to take a seat.
“How is your health, your majesty? I’d heard it was getting better.”
“I do feel better today,” said my brother.
Small talk was a huge pet peev
