(Apparently Adam and Ethan live in a mansion-y type of house not a palace, so it's not really guarded or anything. Adam thinks he can defend himself enough and doesn't need them. He's also the dictator, so I guess he has advisers, but not really a court like a monarchy.)
Adam
Adam stood up. He wondered what he should do with Alea. He stared into Midnight's eyes as if she could give him answers. He stood up and looked for Ethan. They weren't all that close, but Adam felt like Ethan should take part more in politics. Maybe Ethan would have some ideas on what to do with Alea, even if they weren't that good at least Adam would get more of a glimpse into Ethan's personality.
