Cealum and the butler entered the quiet study room. The door shut behind them, and Cealum turned to face the butler.
The butler lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord… I've observed Lord Noah and Lady Cassandra growing closer to each other. There's nothing inappropriate between them, but… It's becoming romantically noticeable."
Cealum narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is that so? Did they do anything… improper?"
The butler shook his head. "No, my lord. But the way they interact—it's… affectionate."
Cealum sighed. "Alright then. I've made my decision. I'm going to send Noah abroad… to Luke."
"The Lord Luke? The Governor of Lunaris?" the butler asked.
Cealum nodded. "Yes. I'll speak to him myself. In the meantime, start preparing Noah's belongings quietly. He must not know."
The butler bowed. "Understood, my lord."
He left the room and went to make a call. After a few rings, a young man's voice answered.
"Hello?"
