The next morning, Ocean, Silas and Alys sat in Ocean's study.
"No," Alys spoke as soon as Ocean mentioned about her making a public appearance.
Silas sighed, it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night pondering about this and Ocean couldn't help but feel bad for him.
He studied Alys's firm expression for a moment before he decided that it was time to show her the reality.
"Archmage, can you please step out?" Ocean spoke and Silas frowned a bit looking at him and then at Alys.
Alys also exchanged looks with him before asking Ocean, "Why?"
"Don't you trust me anymore?" Ocean asked and Alys blinked before she lowered her eyes.
Ocean then glanced at Silas and then at Roan, "Roan, take him to the guest room."
"Why guest room? I'll be right outside." Silas said and Ocean looked at him up and down.
"Considering how you look right now, it's for the best that you catch some sleep. I'll take care of this." Ocean said gesturing at Alys.
