Dominic woke up before first light when he smelled food, and took a moment to brush out his robes before putting them back on for the day.
"You do have other robes, right?" Prince Alex asked.
Dominic nodded. "These are my general purpose ones, with a bonus to spell power. I have fancy ones for formal occasions.
But if we're going to be at the Palace after lunch, I should have time to change before we reach the city."
The Prince looked him over and shook his head.
"It's better to change now. Ditch the full armour, you can change back into it with a freshly laundered base layer before the dinner event if they make it military formal. Just take a few minutes to polish up your chest plate and put it over your formal robes.
I suspect that there will be many eyes on us as we approach the city, and not many chances to get outside and change clothes."
