Kapitel 71: See You Soon, Shortie

Imbert and Rafal were waiting outside of the King's study  along with other knights of the Order of Thistle.  When their liege appeared in their sight, though the Crown Prince looked calm on the outside, his closest knights could see through his mask. 

Imbert immediately spoke, "Rafal has good news for you, Your Highness."

Arlan didn't stop walking in the hallway. He didn't even turn to look at them. 

Imbert continued, "It is about that young boy we came across in Jerusha."

The hallway that was echoing with footsteps suddenly turned quiet as Arlan immediately stopped in his tracks, causing the knights behind him to stop as well.

Guessing his liege's mood, Rafal was quick to report. "Orian the Herbalist, I saw that boy Orian here in Karlin yesterday"

'So that scent…I was not wrong.' Arlan resumed walking. "Weren't you supposed to be on vacation, Rafal?"

"I decided to come back to inform you on this, Your Highness," Rafal replied.
