บท 237: Work Meeting

Rena, Natali, and Lyrah walked through the halls of the academy together, cheerfully talking and enjoying the calm day. Lucius followed slightly behind them because he did not want to interrupt their friendly banter.

He felt that he monopolized much of Rena's time as it was. Even though he was more than happy to take all of it, he also knew that she deserved time with her friends. Lucius felt that he had to give in somewhere and that was where he decided to do it.

However, he still improperly assigned one of his remaining men to guard her at all times even when Lucius was around. In his reports to King Verdayl he would always report that he was working on a "private task concerning the future of the House of Kane" when reporting on that specific assignment.

It was a bullshit answer that the king and his retainers would see through instantly, but as long as his other endeavors bore fruit, they would be content to ignore it.
