As the carriage door was opened by a servant, Lucian stepped out into the Eris's personal Palace courtyard.
Eris's personal maid stood waiting, her hands folded before her. She bowed deeply when she saw him.
"Young Master Lucian, Her Majesty is still busy with important matters," she said softly, "So she told me to help you in the meantime"
The maid thought for a moment before adding, "And Princess Iris is still in her closed door meditation."
Lucian nodded, saying, "Then let's go to mother-in-law's private garden. And make sure to prepare some food as well."
"As you command," she bowed once more and led the way.
Yet, they were only halfway to the garden when a male servant came running toward them!
"Huff…! Y-you must be Young Master Lucian," the middle-aged servant bowed deeply, gasping for breath.
Lucian arched an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
