Damian looked over at Maurice and gave a slight nod, gesturing for him to show August to an available office space down the hall.
"Thank you, Your Grace," August said smoothly. He cast a brief glance at Eilika before turning on his heel and walking out, following Maurice into the corridor.
"I will send an official inquiry to the King immediately," Damian muttered. "I need to know precisely why His Majesty saw fit to send him back here."
"I believe he simply thinks Prince August may prove useful to you in uncovering the answers to these unresolved cases," Eilika suggested, stepping closer to his desk. "The King... you need to trust his judgment. He wouldn't have sent Prince August back to Varos without a deliberate reason."
"If I ask August directly, he will only give me evasive answers. I just hope he does not intend to create any further trouble for us here," Damian muttered, staring at the closed doors with deep apprehension.
