"Young master, our source had just sent a report: Hion had left Grail State." A guard explained in a low voice while standing behind Prothero. He was in casual blue jeans and a t-shirt to avoid Simon's attention or suspicion. The guard bowed his head slightly. "Should I prepare for the young master's return? Don will be checking the young master's progress overmorrow…"
The guard was yet to complete his words when Simon began to approach Prothero with a ticket in his hands.
Prothero's eyes darkened. Different thoughts kept running through his mind, but none of them were displayed on his face. Prothero raised his hand silently, and the guard quietly withdrew.
The guard's lips parted in hesitation, but he suppressed it all and quickly withdrew, just like Prothero had ordered.
