章 187: You Don't Know How Much You Mean To Me

As Rion was too adamant, Commander Iria decided to give in just once and took the spoon. At this, Rion finally smiled. It's not every day that he got to persuade his Commander!

However, not even five minutes passed when the door was suddenly opened without even knocking. When Iria Alewine darted her eyes to it, she saw King Tobias rushing inside with a rare mixture of relief and concern on his face. Iria almost choked on her food as she really didn't expect to see the King right now.

Didn't they only say that he might be back before midnight? It's only dinner time!

As expected, Rion quickly bowed and walked out of the chamber to give them some space.

"Your Majesty," Iria muttered, unsure of what to do. Should she attempt to stand up? But she knew that would only worry him more, or even anger him.
