"I will be temporarily leaving this city for an urgent mission."
I heard my voice echo in the still room. My assembled subordinates remained silent, although I could see a few expressions change, it seemed they decided to let me finish.
"Something important has come to my notice, and it requires my immediate attention. I'll be leaving tomorrow, but there are a few things I'd like settled before my departure."
Once again, my words were met with silence.
The demons didn't seem to have any idea about what my plans were, which meant Heshu didn't say a word to them.
Zabdel seemed a bit worried, probably because he didn't like the idea of me leaving Dulum. Lucy maintained a calm expression, most likely because she intended to come with me wherever I was going.
As for Asa, she was the only one who appeared to have a positive response. Her cheeks were bright pink, and it was quite obvious that she was doing her best to hide her joy.
This whole thing was because of her, after all.
