Back to another world.
If Alaric the Emperor had a happy night, even though his spouse was plotting his demise the next morning after hearing their kids' words. In another realm, Alaric the crown prince experienced a night like a giant tornado.
During a council meeting to discuss the two-year war's aftermath, Alaric ordered Rowan to lock Carlton in the chamber. A few calming hours in that meeting room almost made Alaric shed tears of joy. It reminded him of just hours ago with crazy Carlton - like being on the battlefield with a tricky situation requiring genius strategy since talking with Carlton needed ironclad mental fortitude!
