Throughout her way to the Sublime Inn, what King Tobias said lingered in Iria's mind.
He trusted her and... he cared for her.
Amid all these, was it right of her to listen to the Emperor?
The Emperor might be her blood-related uncle but... she was closer to the King. She had an undeniably close bond with him and... he was the one who looked after her all those years.
With many things crossing the Commander's mind, she finds herself before the inn in no time. Looking up, she felt reluctant to enter. However, that familiar young man was about to enter the inn and he spotted her. Then he walked towards her and bowed.
"Commander, are you here to see His Majesty?"
"Is he inside?"
"He is."
Iria Alewine finally glanced around before she turned to the young man. "Will you please stand guard here? I want to make sure that no one follows me."
The young man slightly lowered his head. "I understand."
