Change in Attitude

The Old Duke and Heath were sitting, facing Crown Prince Heinrich, who somehow looked far different today.

The man sat with an overall atmosphere that was no longer the same as before. He didn't look pressed, nor did he see them as cold as usual. Precisely after what happened yesterday, what changed the man into like this?

Unlike usual, Ezekiel was now sitting by their side. He was there because he was involved with yesterday's events. He was the Crown Prince of the Empire, and that was why he spoke on behalf of the empire and its people who were in danger last night.

"How are you two today, Your Highness Euclase, Your Highness Hyacinth?" Heath said, opening the conversation.

"Could be worse," Heinrich replied with a flat expression.

"I'm fine," replied Ezekiel.

"We are grateful that there were no casualties in last night's horrific incident," Heath said seriously.
