Capítulo 369: Grieving

[Moments Earlier]

"My partner… I'd like to see her. Where is she?"

Rey, currently disguised as Ralyks, was seated opposite Rebal, Kara, and Asher.

All three of them gazed upon him with respect and reverence—far more than what they would normally depict.

Rey ignored all of that and focused on his question.

'I haven't seen her since yesterday. She was very distraught back then…'

Rey could only hope that Esme was a lot better.

However, he soon realized—as soon as he saw the anxious expressions on the faces of the three—that his hopes were going to be dashed.

"The lady… said she doesn't want any visitors."

'H-huh?' Rey was surprised the moment he heard that.

"I'm not just 'any visitor', though." He responded almost immediately.

Rebal and the other two gulped, almost simultaneously. They must have thought he was offended when, in all honesty, he was just surprised.
