Liana and Gloria leaned against the railing, their eyes searching through the crowd below. Both had expected to find Javier sneaking off somewhere by now, yet instead they caught sight of the scene unfolding at the gates.
"It seems our lord truly has good friends," Liana murmured, her tone calm but touched with amusement.
Gloria adjusted her glasses, her smile serene. "Yes… not only kings as companions, but nobles from the Human Kingdom, and allies from the Beastkin, Elven, and Demon Kingdoms as well. His reach extends farther than most would imagine."
Liana's eyes shifted toward the carriages, her lips curving into a smirk. "By the look of it… Felicia is here."
"Ara~ not only Felicia," Gloria replied smoothly, her tone almost sing-song. "I'd wager those two brats as well… Mimi and Delya."
