"Is it finished, Your Highness?" Alvaron asked.
Nolan gave a slight nod. "It is, Duke. Shall we head back now?"
"Yes," Alvaron replied. "But first, let's visit my brother to say goodbye."
Nolan had no objections. Soon after, they went to Allen's office, exchanged a few brief words, and returned to the carriage.
Allen was too busy to accompany them, but Nolan and Alvaron didn't mind.
Inside the carriage, Alvaron studied Nolan curiously. "What's next, Your Highness? Are we waiting for Belfor's trial in the capital, or do you have other plans? If it's the latter, just tell me—I promise I'll help."
He patted his chest confidently. After everything Nolan had done, his trust in the young man had only grown stronger.
To Alvaron, showing humility before him was not a weakness—it was awareness of oneself and a way to strengthen their bond.
