<div style="text-align: center">Questor:​</div><br/>With the dream still fresh in his mind, Dante got cleaned up and dressed and then went down to the carriage. He spotted Laylah and grinned as he got into the carriage. He would not mind the dream he had coming true. He knew then that his feelings for her was more then he had realized. A demon and and angel. Well his father had done it, and he was after all his father's son. He Chuckled. Yes if things went well and as planned, perhaps that would happen one day, and not just for him and his father. But first certain things had to be done and at the moment he had to go into the city to the ardorious task of running the family business. The ride to the city was like any other time, uneventful and the passing of familiar land marks and seeing the people of the city as they went about their morning business. The carriage arrived in front of an imposing structure and Andrew got down from the drivers platform and opened the door for him. "I'll return for you at the normal time sir?"<br/><br/>"Yes, that will be fine Andrew." Dante said and walked up several stone steps to the building. The place was where he had offices for his various business, and others rented space for their own. The place was busy with people coming and going, merchants and traders as well as those that worked there. His own office there was large and lavishly decorated, denoting his station and wealth. He was greeted by what one would call his staff of secretaries and the like, and he nodded to them. He had been gone for a few days but all seemed as if he had been there the whole time, expcept for the large stack of papers on his desk that needed his signature or his approval. He sighed and sat down and got to work. Another reason he got out and went to the differant businesses he owned, to get away from the papeerwork. Even though it was a bit boring riding in a carriage, this last time had been a lot less so with Laylah alone.<br/><br/>Throughout the day he had visitors from merchants and traders as well as a couple of the other Lords. From them he learned that Valkar was in a very foul mood for some reason. Dante chuckled at that news, for he knew the reason for his mood. Soon it would be even worse when the council meet next.<br/><br/>Back at the castle the soldiers emerged and formed up in front of Laylah. They were all confident that they could endure anything that she could throw at them. Not arrogantly but confident. They were good at what they did and they were tough.
