Rion, who was informed by Nadin that Odette was in the North tower, rushed there right away. When he got there, he met Elis who was watching his wife from afar.
“The Queen has been sitting there since this afternoon,” said Elis worriedly. She and Nadin took turns watching the queen in the tower from noon until evening.
Rion was surprised to hear that, and he immediately approached Odette. He took off his coat and draped it over Odette’s shoulder then sat beside her.
“What is it?” Odette asked confusedly.
“What do you mean by what is it?”
“You’re here.”
“Because you’re also here.”
“Did you finish your work?”
“I skipped work,” said Rion while turning around.
Odette smiled, but the smile looked forced, not like her usual sweet smile.
“What should I do?” Rion asked, making Odette confused.
“What do you mean?”
