Aiden walked through the room as he looked around.
"Duke." a voice called making Duke Salvador stop in his tracks. "You are here?"
"Your Highness." Duke Salvador bowed his head as he smiled. "Even you are here."
Aiden looked at Crown Prince Cedric as his gaze was observing his every move.
"I came here to meet the Empress." Prince Cedric's lips curled up as he continued. "But what brought the Duke here?"
"I am here to look at the security." Aiden looked at the guards standing near the door. "We have been informed that the Vivere Kingdom's people will be reaching the palace at an early hour."
"Hmm .." The crown Prince said in a small tone. His gaze was following the Duke's as he waited for him to say something else.
There was an awkward silence between the two which could not break. Both the men were unable to say a thing to ease the tension.
