Days passed by quietly and slowly. Minister Gerin who accompanied Commander Iria to Qalagon was now back to Jerivia. He was currently greeting King Tobias Aventine.
"Is Iria adjusting well?" King Tobias asked his Minister who stood in front of his throne.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Commander Iria asked me to tell you not to worry. She said that she will come back safe and sound." Minister Gerin responded to the King with his head bowed.
King Tobias make a long face and looked at his Minister. "If I have any other better choice, I will never allow her to go there."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Commander Iria is capable and intelligent. She will be alright." Minister Gerin said, trying his best to make the King feel at ease.
"She should be." King Tobias muttered. "Iria is like a daughter to me. If anything happens to her, then the Qalagons will have to pay for it." He firmly declared. His expression proved that he meant every word he said.
