章節 472: The Royal Armoury

Unexpectedly, the person waiting to guide me to the armoury was not the old man from earlier but King Justinia herself.

"Fuuu… You will have to forgive me, Aster… But keeping the image of a King is quite tiring."

I shook my head, "Not at all. I know exactly what you mean."

Oh, I know full well how tiring it is to keep up a persona for so long.

I'm guessing she took over the role of guiding me as an excuse so that she could get a break from being King.

She then gestured down the hall, "Now, shall we?"

I nodded and let the King lead the way.

"Umm… Where are the guards?" I asked, just now noticing that there was a distinct lack of anyone following the King.

"They're still around but out of sight. You do not need to be concerned for your safety, Aster."

I wasn't concerned about my safety but more of yours… But since she said that there were still guards around but just not in sight, I dropped the question.
