Although Ahspid received the message and canceled their lesson, he still joined Aideen in her exciting inspection of Queen Elindine's room. As always, he justified his actions with the fear of succumbing to boredom once again.
Unfortunately, denying him something he had already set his mind to was utterly useless, and the princess was well aware of that. Therefore, albeit reluctantly, she agreed to take him with her, mostly because she was convinced that this way, the mage would still do less harm than when left to his own devices.
"You must promise me you will be careful, Ahspid. This room is very important to His Grace, and I do not wish to break his trust in me because of you," Aideen said, inserting the key into the lock but not opening it until she received Ahspid's reply.
Releasing a long and somewhat irritated sigh, the mage nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, I promise. What am I, a child? Open the room already, this hallway is very cold!"
