In the end, evening came, and the despairing aide had yet to find a chance to express his concern about needing a retreat, a cleansing, or an exorcism.
Or all three.
But to be fair, it wasn't because he chickened out, but because from the time he found his boss in the study, up until now, the guy had only been able to really leave his seat for extremely short "feedings" and a bath.
And during such moments, Kael wasn't even feeding himself, but Riley, who had taken temporary lodging on the chaise longue.
A poster boy for cleanliness, the golden lizard seriously elected to take a bath instead of eating, only to return wearing another suit for work.
He wasn't going to the ministry for work, but even then, he was apparently in for a series of prolonged audiences.
To think King Arlen said something about difficulty in management when all such delays and requests for an audience were because of that stupid lockdown.
