Inside Eric – Adam's Domain
Just as Adam commanded Millennia (the System) to stop Eric from taking the girl directly to the King, the System interface appeared instantly before Adam in his quiet domain.
[System/Millenia]: Master Adam, acknowledging directive. Are you instructing me to prevent Eric from escorting the unidentified female subject to the King's presence?
Adam conveyed his thoughts clearly. "Yes, Millenia," he replied mentally. "I have a better idea. I don't want Eric drawing unnecessary attention right now, and frankly, this palace environment is restrictive for my observations." He considered the situation.
"Convince Eric to handle this himself. Suggest he listen to the girl's story and try to help her on his own. You could mention it might be a way to impress his father, to make the King proud instead of disappointed. Use that angle." Eric's worries about his father's opinion were a clear way to influence him.
The System interface vanished from Adam's domain.
