Walking up to stand slightly behind and to the left of the guard captain he lightly cleared his throat catching the attention of his superior. snapping to attention when he turned around he saluted before relaxing.

" Sir we've finished with the warehouses and the workers we've arrested four of the workers , so far all others but them are clear in their statements and backgrounds." he said calmly and precise to the point while handing over his report.

Gerald as he listens grunted softly as he scanned the report lightly to read at a later date in his office. Without looking up he ordered Alren to bring the four suspects to the holding pen so they could be investigated at a deeper level. " I want a guard on all of them we don't know how deep this goes so no mistakes Alen."

Alren nodding while snapping off another salute " Yes Sir" he spun on his heel and started barking orders st start clearing the warehouse and to move the prisoners to the holding cells.

Glancing up from the report Gerald nodded before leaving to head to office to finish writing up his report so he could notify the king in what they learned from this part in the case so far.

POV Fai

Fai sighed as he watched his future husband and current student play in the grass he coudn't help but imagine what his life would be like now when his young husband to be was of age he's not to mention the fact that he's at more than twenty years younger than him and they somehow expect him to get married.

then theirs the mess with the crown prince and and his tutor that desperately in love with him. this seems more like an drama from one of the trashy romance books mother reads.

Wiping the beginning grimace from his face he lifted an brow when his laughing charge skipped up to him laughing saying breathlessly " Fai come play , come play with me please!!" he finished as he put upon his most cute and begging expression.

Lips twitching in amusement he hauled himself to his feet he said " Very well little (unum ridens)

let us go and play for a few more minutes then we shall return to our lessons. I have something interesting planned for today."

Grinning Sayoma cheered before racing ahead only to be caught by the back of his tunic by a strong hand saying. " No running ahead" pouting at being caught he grumbled but agreed.
