…
After freshening up and changing her clothes, Emilia makes her way to the study hall to clean.
Still adjusting to the strange peace of the morning, she is met by a firm figure standing guard outside the door.
"Your Majesty," Robert said, stepping forward, his head deeply bowed in salute.
Emilia smiled at him, and nodded her head.
"You don't have to go inside."
She blinked, perplexed.
"What?"
"The King has relieved you of your duties in the study hall," Robert explained to her, and Emilia was even more puzzled.
"He has also allowed you to return to your quarters."
Her eyes narrowed, and she tried to fathom Lucas's meaning by this.
She remembers his words last night and this morning, how can he easily let her return without as much as a word?
"Your Majesty," Robert called, seeing she was lost in thoughts and Emilia shook her head.
"I understand," she told him.
No matter what Lucas is planning, she is more than satisfied to return to her own space.
