The Tyrant Is A Little Bit Kind

(Orlax Pov)

As I saw the sun begin to set, I threw the documents in my hand aside, feeling exhausted, and lay down for a moment.

"That's enough for today, Grand Duke. Let's continue tomorrow."

"Are you sure? There's still plenty of work to be done."

Armanthor lifted his head, exhaustion visible on his face, as we had been working for hours without rest.

I glanced at the pile of documents that hadn't diminished at all despite all the work we'd been doing.

"Yes, that's enough. I'll finish everything tomorrow."

"How will you finish everything tomorrow?"

"You'll see."

We left the office and walked toward the main hall, where Armanthor excused himself and departed.

I arrived at my room and asked Lyra to come to me. Sitting on the bed, I watched Sera playing on the floor.
