'Salutations', it read, ' I'm looking for a challenge to get something we both want. However, you must keep your sister in the dark for this. I'd like it to be a secret for now. Tomorrow, after you've returned to your kingdoms castle, meet me in the gardens at noon. All will be explained soon, yours sincerely, M.E. '.

Slightly confused, Abigor turned the note over and over, trying to find some clue as to what 'M.E.' stood for. However, after a few attempts, there was no luck. So he simply laid it to rest for now, placing it in his bedside draw. Simply for safe keeping, before putting on his suit.

Buttoning the cuffs and adjusting the collar, Abigor then slipped his blazer jacket on. And smoothed himself down to remove any creases, that were present. He then left to go downstairs to the dining room.

Following the scent of luscious foods, Abigor found his way to the meal and his sister. However, there was someone missing Lamia was here yet Earl wasn't. Which seemed odd he wasn't usually one to be unpunctual, she he simply wanted to quiz Lamia. However, before he could ask she saw right through him and quickly spoke instead, saying,
" He's gone back to the castle, to arrange a few things and take a few meetings. Its one of the joys of being a prime minister. Also don't worry we'll have to go back tomorrow to do the same anyway so no biggie".

Then proceeding with her walk, she made her way over to her correct seat. Joining her with her decision, Abigor made his way over to his seat; the head of the table. Once he was seated, multiple dishes appeared and placed themselves delicately on the table in front of each person. Then the drinks were filled and the cutlery was straightened. When the food was ready, everyone waited for Abigor to bless it before the lids of the food were lifted. And dinner was served.
