After finishing their breakfast, Liana and Gloria moved gracefully toward the Pekko pen. Their steps were slow, deliberate, savoring the peaceful morning atmosphere.
As they approached, their eyes immediately locked onto three familiar figures near the enclosure:
Lord Garius, in conversation with Mrs. Erinette, the poised head of all maids, and Alf, the ever-loyal head butler.
Liana and Gloria paused briefly, bowing their heads politely.
"My Lord," they said softly, voices respectful and composed.
Garius merely nodded, engrossed in discussion with Alf and Erinette. The two women continued walking—until a snippet of conversation caught their ears clearly, causing them to halt mid-step.
"…Alf, so the letter from my friend King Lioness is true?" Garius asked calmly, measured in tone, pondering deeply.
"You mean about Princess Felicia, my Lord?" Alf responded respectfully, voice gentle but clear. "Mimi's older sister?"
Liana and Gloria froze.
