The next day, as decided, Gideon and Adeline headed out to see his uncles, whose addresses he had managed to secure through a trusted source. The drive ended within an hour as the car finally arrived at the grand villa shared jointly by both of his uncles.
Recognizing the royal emblem prominently displayed on the vehicle, the gate guards immediately opened the massive gates and waved them through.

Finally, the car came to a halt. Gideon stepped out first, walking around to Adeline's side to offer his hand, lowering his head slightly as he helped her down.
