[Velyrian's Office.]
Knock!
Akamir stood outside the office after knocking on the door once.
For once, the door was closed and Akamir had to wait for anyone to open it.
"You sure it was a good idea?" Nayomi whispered, floating closely. "Leaving the place when Duke Darvin just died."
"It's fine." Akamir said, without looking at her. "He has already named me as the next Duke, I see no reason to stay there."
"How cold." Nayomi said, though she didn't mean it. "He was your father."
"He was not." Akamir said, glancing at her. "You heard him, don't you?"
"…Still," she muttered. "He raised you."
"Not me." Akamir mumbled as he heard the door open. "He raised Asher."
A pair of eyes peeked out from the gap before the door was completely opened.
Milo looked at him before she sighed. "Come in."
Akamir nodded and walked inside the office.
It was still a mess like before, with scrolls stacked high on every desk, books opened and abandoned mid-page.
