Chapter 7 – Mysterious Soldier – Part 1 (The Arid Kingdom series, Book #1)
Inside the palace, Soris was talking to his father. The king seemed to have forgotten about the morning quarrel. He was looking, relaxed but focused, at some documents.

Selunia sat alone, deeply sunken into her thoughts. The car had been stopped at a crossing because the general had something to verify nearby.

Shortly after finishing with the small office matters, Soris went to one of his favorite places in the palace: the superior terrace. It was a large terrace situated on the third level.
