"Hell yeah!"
Yeter craned his head up with beaming pride. "You can count on us, King Jeerda! We'll help Oliver the whole way through!"
Kako nodded along as some tension fled from his face. But it was impossible to hide the lingering worries in the back of his gaze.
Still, King Jeerda politely bowed her head to the trio.
"I'm glad to hear that. Now, I've said all that I'm able. I'll allow you to rest and mentally prepare for tomorrow.
"You aren't to leave this room. Not until I return to fetch you in the morning."
The humanized Permafrost Wyrm walked to the door without sparing them another glance, evading any further questions or conversations. In seconds, Jeerda disappeared behind a closing door.
"... Why do you think she said that?" Yeter sheepishly asked. "Is it that big a deal to walk around and check out the palace?"
Smack! …
In perfect sync, Kako and Oliver slapped their palms to their foreheads.
