Departure

Vaughn, Zenia, Zekiah, and Redivo had been busy organizing the things that must be brought to the trip as well as securing the things in the Palace of the Crown Prince while the masters were away. Vaughn felt uneasy leaving his palace, but he should follow the Royal Decree. He knew that the Left Minister was scheming something, but couldn't put his finger on it.

"Do you know what to do?" Vaughn was discussing emergency measures with Redivo.

They strengthen the defenses of the palace and did not allow any servants inside the main residence anymore. Vaughn, Zenia, Zekiah, and grandpa took their meals together in the pavilion near the man-made lake.

"You don't need to worry about anything with me here around, great-grandson. I will make sure that your palace is still intact when you come back."
