"I know. What do you want? You haven't come here just to offer condolences to a man you never liked," said Dante.
"That is true. It is hard to see you, Dante. You have your castle well-guarded, which isn't good when we're supposed to be working together. This is what I must resort to see you and your lovely wife," Kaden said, flashing a smile at Ophelia.
"You could have sent a letter to the castle, and we would have arranged a day to meet with you. Surely, it crossed your mind," Ophelia said, annoyed that Kaden couldn't read the room. "This is not the time nor the place."
"It did cross my mind, but surprising the two of you felt like the better option. Perhaps it is because I am without a wife that I don't understand why you can't leave your castle, but you must. Every day, the news I receive from the palace gets worse," Kaden said, ready to leave town.
