Dominick returned from the private airport after seeing off Gabriel and Casaio in the private jet. He went straight to find Amelie and found her in the large corridor where she stood by the open gallery, showing Noah the serene beauty of the night sky.
Noah was held securely in her arms, his tiny finger pointing at the crescent moon as he gurgled happily, mesmerized by the light.
Dominick paused, a genuine smile softening the lines of worry on his face as he watched the peaceful sight. He approached slowly, stopping a careful distance from them. Ashna, the attendant, dipped her head in a swift bow, while Amelie turned.
"Brother Nick, you returned," Amelie said, the breeze gently ruffling the edge of her long skirt.
"Yes. And Gabriel explicitly asked me to tell you this: Do not go anywhere alone, even when you are within the palace walls."
