Emily and Aiden stared at the Storm Kingdom's prince, wondering if he was being serious, as it was evident that he wasn't here by official invitation but had taken the liberty to invite himself in. Aiden tried to understand the situation by asking, 

"Not to be rude, Prince Raylen, but from whom did you receive the letter?" 

"Queen Maya," Prince Raylen answered, and then he remarked, "I must say, the palace seems quieter than the last time I came to visit."

Not a moment later, they heard the sound of another pair of footsteps echoing through the halls and corridors before Dante came into sight. Prince Raylen turned towards him and offered a polite bow, greeting him, 

"Good evening, Prince Dante. Pardon me for arriving at such a late hour. Also, I want to offer my deepest condolences for the loss of your mother, the news of which has reached me."
