Viscount Mathew extended a hand to assist the Archduchess of Lanark as she disembarked from her father's carriage. Her eyes on her son's face, he appeared perfectly normal as he proudly took his place at the front of the entourage prepared to receive the King of Emoria.

"How have you been, Your Majesty?" he greeted, bowing to the only figure he showed such respect to in the entire Kingdom.
"Better now that I have seen you, Noctavian," the King replied, patting the Prince's shoulders, while the women of House Lanark exchanged warm greetings and hugs.
