Outside Golden Feather Palace, Arsenno and the other Ministers of the Kingdom walked out. They looked up at the setting sun and the few red clouds staining the horizon.
"This scene... it's like the Oduin Kingdom itself, now in its twilight years."
Arsenno looked at the Minister of Justice, Texas, who was beside him. "You just jumped out to stop the Crown Prince. Knowing his personality, your days ahead will be difficult."
Texas shrugged nonchalantly. "My good friend Oak was assigned by His Majesty to be the Crown Prince's tutor for a time. He didn't return for the annual celebration this year, and there have been no letters. I'm afraid..."
"You should be thinking about yourself. Once the Crown Prince formally inherits the throne, you probably won't be Minister of Justice for much longer."
"I've already thought it through."
