Iria already spent some time alone in her chamber when she heard the sound of the knocking on her door. She assumed right away that it must be Arin Helev. He returned faster than she expected.
"Come in."
The Crown Prince made his way to her and glanced down at her who was sitting on her bed. "Are you sick?" He asked.
"No." She promptly said. "I only wanted to take some rest."
He observed her for a while as if he was doubting her. However, he finally said, "That's a relief. There is still some time left until dinner. Take some rest during that. I'm going to see my father."
Iria only nodded and Arin left again right away.
Staring at the empty door, Iria recalled what Prince Orius said to her. Will she really need to do that? If it was really needed, will she be able to... she shook her head. She shouldn't think much and spend the rest of her time here quietly. That's for the best.
