บท 26: Chapter 26 - Trouble at a corner

Allen entered the royal office and placed the pile of papers on the table as I finished the one in front of me. I stared at the stack that was already on the table for quite a while. A tiny sigh came out of my mouth. The never-ending paperwork made me feel like I would never get out of that room again.

The night before, Xavier explained that he was not leaving because of me. I was relieved to learn his reason for deciding to accept the invitations. However, to think that he had entrusted his species to me made me delighted from my core. But I could not deny that I had already begun to miss him. What would I do without him for this long, I wondered.

I needed some fresh air. I got up and asked Allen not to follow me. Though Xavier ordered her to stay by my side all the time, what could possibly go wrong inside the palace. I also required my privacy sometimes.
