Reivyn stood with his sword at the ready, staring into his father's eyes. Neither one made a move, assessing the situation and posture of the other person. Dried sweat beaded Reivyn's brow.

"We have an appointment to meet with the administration," Ameliyn said to the gate guard.
A/N For everyone's information, I'm not trying to set up instances of the characters missing each other for the comedic effect itself. I want the reunion to take place at a certain place at a certain time. I'm building up for that, and taking into everyone's consideration for having it happen sooner rather than later, I've sped it up a b...

On Chapter 89 - Advance Effort, I had a typo where I had said aome sort of monster had screamed in "furry." Some commenters ran with it and said that "furry is now a language that monsters know."

Reivyn took some calming breaths as he stood just outside the double doors leading to the formal petition hall. A maid from the main palace had come and picked him up a little while after his short meeting with Sophia.

Kefira strode through the halls of the palace, heading toward the sitting room of her family. They all had their own individual courtyards, but those were mostly used for sleeping and appearances.
