Remus struggled to hold back his laughter, his stomach hurting, as he maintained a serious expression while addressing Zuko. “What do you mean, my lord? You and Ms. Lina aren’t married yet. How could you stay together? The palace has strict rules, and maintaining distance between men and women is of utmost importance. Surely, you haven’t forgotten that, sir?”

Zuko’s eyebrows furrowed, his tone serious. “Then… where am I supposed to stay?”

“At the Splendor Pavilion.”

“What!?” Zuko’s surprise was evident, his reaction almost causing him to jump up.

When one examined the map, the palace appeared as a square, with Pearl Spring in the top-left corner and the Splendor Pavilion in the bottom-right corner. It seemed deliberate, a clear attempt to separate them.

Zuko took a few deep breaths, his gaze fixed on Remus. “Regardless of the strict rules, must you keep us so far apart?”

Remus smiled quietly, observing the rare display of vulnerability from the usually composed Zuko. The young Count he knew was wise beyond his years, mature, and decisive, possessing all the qualities of a future Hamerton successor. It was rare to see him lose control or display such wide-eyed surprise.

Remus couldn’t help but give a silent thumbs up, appreciating this unique side of Alexander.
