Chapter 142: The Crown Prince of Nardodia

"Why are you here?"

Commander Iria was surprised to see Crown Prince Zaro who suddenly appeared at her door.

It was almost time to start the celebratory feast and... shouldn't the Crown Prince be in the palace by now?

"What else would my reason be other than to pick you up?" Zaro Aventine simply said with a little smile and added, "You're the center of this feast."

"You know I hate that," the Commander retorted, making her friend frowned.

"Don't be too helpless. It's not like the Commander-in-chief can skip the feast," Zaro sternly said as if he was a father scolding his daughter. However, his expression soon turned pleasant again and this made Iria chuckle.

"It won't be long. If you are bored, I'll accompany you all the time," he calmly added.

Iria Alewine nodded and looked at her friend with an amusing smile. "I'm already done preparing. Let's go."
