Chapter 821: For goodness' sake

[ FLASHBACK ]

"Davien, Davien!" 

Aries kept calling her brother while running in the hallway of the royal palace in the land of Rikhill. The servants naturally stepped aside, smiling, as they watched the princess look for the crown prince. She was as enthusiastic and full of ever as ever.

"Davien!" Aries pushed the door open, barging into the crown prince's chambers. 

Usually, no one could barge into the crown prince's chambers. They would get stopped even before they could enter the premises of the crown prince's palace. However, the marshalls and servants in the crown prince's palace were so used to the royalties' close relationship that they — Aries, in particular — could go in and out as they pleased. Davien also approved of this. 

Aries looked around the crown prince's chancery. It was empty. Her expression turned sour, clicking her tongue in irritation.
