"You're leaving so soon?" Loric asked from behind Nikolai, who stood in front of the grand doors leading to the courtyard.
"It's better if we act fast, I have to get Sulley back and prepare for the future." He turned back with a faint grin. "Didn't you give me information about what those bastards are planning in the near future? I can't let my wives face that alone."
"I see, it's just rare I get to see Ivan these days... keeping up appearances and all."
The look on Loric's face resembled a grandparent who wanted to keep their grandchild from leaving. Nikolai shrugged his shoulders and stepped towards the door. Vernan and the girls were already waiting for him in the car.
"Shall I tell my dad to come visit so you're not alone?"
"Haha, that sounds quite good."
