Rise, satiated and satisfied, nodded and finished his drink. From start to finish, he did not acknowledge anyone or someone bothered him. All in all, it was such a satisfying meal.
Cleaning his plate, he stood up and put the dirty tray in the specified place.
Finished with his meal, it was now time to go and meet Kamille. Since he was not supposed to be familiar with the place yet, he could only go to Kamille's office.
In his view, it was not a bad thing at all.
Leisurely traversing the corridor, a smile instantly flashed across his lips upon seeing the door of Kamille's office. Knocking on the door, Rise waited.
Just as he was about to open the door and peek inside again, the door opened on its own, and Rise met a familiar face.
It was Hayes.
His gaze, slightly conflicted, still tried to put a calm expression facing Rise.
"You can come in," Opening the door wider, he stood at the side and let Rise in.
Just laying some groundwork by introducing important characters. Since it's a Guideverse with gates, of course, a significant portion of the novel is about gates, right? LOL.
Kidding aside, the pace will slowly pick up again after this is done, I promise.
