"Rollos will not abandon this kingdom," Ruby assured him.
Her words made Brandyn breathe a sigh of relief. A heavy burden that had been weighing on him since yesterday finally disappeared. "I thought he didn't like me or this kingdom because he never spoke to me again after he asked me to prepare a room for you."
"Please don't mind him." Ruby smiled at him, providing a calmness that made Brandyn stop worrying. "Rollos is used to living in seclusion, so his communication is very bad. I spoke to him before he left and he said he would still help you."
Ruby didn't like lying, but she couldn't tell Brandyn the truth so as not to worry him. After all, Rollos would have told Matthew first if he wasn't going to help Tredo anymore.
But Ruby believed that Althea would never leave the kingdom, so Rollos had no choice but to wait for her.
