"Father, I want to see them," Alinea told Perun as soon as the carriages arrived at the palace.
She had on a resolute expression as she locked eyes with her sire. Even before coming here, she and her father had already discussed her plan to visit her friends' grave. Perun stared at her for a while and was about to speak when Ryuu interrupted.
"My love, we just arrived. I know you want to see your friends but this is not yet the time. Also…" His voice trailed off as he glanced at Yuuka who remained quiet and waiting on the side.
As if remembering her, Alinea bit her lip as she looked at Yuuka with a guilty expression. Her husband was right. "Another time then," she agreed as she walked towards Yuuka and took her arm. "We'll let the men talk their business. I'll go with you to your room," she said as she looked at her father.
Perun then turned to Fredek who gestured towards the servants to lead the women away.
