He clapped his hands, and a maid promptly walked into the room. "Yes, sir?" she inquired attentively.
"Please have the guards ready at the front door to escort Lady Jedo to Lt. Daemon's location," he instructed.
"Yes, Sir," the maid responded, giving a bow before backing away and leaving the room to carry out his orders.
The man then stepped away from Jedo, his voice carrying a mix of seriousness and warmth. "Well, have a safe trip, and I will be watching, of course, while I maintain the house and keep the district from getting too rowdy," he said, hinting at the responsibilities he would continue to shoulder in her absence.
Jedo nodded, her expression filled with gratitude. "Thank you for everything, sir. I hope to see you again soon as well," she replied, acknowledging his steadfast support and the comfort it brought her as she prepared to navigate the challenges awaiting her on the third continent.
