The next morning.
Javier stirred slowly when he heard a knock at the door.
Who is it this early?
Don't tell me it's Liana and the others…
No way, right?
They wouldn't just knock and wait, they'd knock and come in as usual.
Javier sat up, adjusting the blanket to cover Delya and himself, before yawning and rubbing his eyes.
"Who is it?"
"Your Highness. It's me, Alf."
Ah… crap… What is it now?
Don't tell me Father is telling him to call me this early?
He glanced at the mana watch on the side table.
Whoa… It's still this early, and Father's already working?
"Just come in, Alf."
A moment of silence passed before Alf's voice was heard from outside again.
"It is best if I simply inform you from here, Your Highness. You are being summoned to His Majesty's office. He wishes to see you now."
Ah… Alf really knows I'm sleeping with one of my girls, huh?
Even without opening the door?
Man… No wonder he's the strongest assassin in the world, serving Father.
