"Yes, we are all safe," Leon said as Veronica arrived.
Her golden eyes glimmered for a brief second. She scanned him from head to toe, checking every inch of him with a precision that made his brows twitch.
After confirming he was fine, she nodded.
"Good. You do not seem to be in any harm."
Leon blinked. 'She really did run a CT scan on me.'
Eula stepped forward and bowed politely. "It is good to see you, Lady Veronica."
Veronica slowly turned to them. "The first and second princess, huh. What might you two be doing here?"
She paused for a moment. Her gaze sharpened, and she locked eyes with Eula's calm blue ones.
"You are supposed to be at the castle, are you not? I guess 'Aster' gave you two a free pass today."
"Huh?" Eula's eyes widened. Rinna's did as well.
