# Chapter 73
No matter how the viewer might accept it, the weird tension between Ares and Eutostea wasn’t something like a romantic atmosphere. Nothing was actually going on between them.
The three princesses of Thebes were enjoying their free time respectively. Askitea, who’d been indulging in a relaxing bath, announced she would take a nap and had the bed all to herself. Hersia left the room quite a while ago, but she didn’t come back; it made Eutostea worry about her sister if she was lost in this huge palace. Thus, Eutostea told Askitea that she would go look for her.
‘Yeah, alright. Come back soon.’
Askitea’s murmuring slipped through the comforter as if she’d already gone to her dreamland.
As Eutostea stepped out of the room, she met Machiades hovering around the hallway. Both greeted each other with a nod.
“I just came out to briefly get some fresh air. Where are you heading to, priestess?”
