Blois entered the hall to find Marwan in the midst of an unending conversation with Armando, whose expression betrayed a hint of resignation.
Marwan was elaborately outlining his next plans to Armando, who couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.
"Why did I soften my heart?" he thought.
If only he had known better, he would have preferred Marwan remain silent than allow him to speak again.

Just as Armando was about to be overwhelmed by Marwan's incessant chatter, he caught sight of Blois at the door.
He was overjoyed; seeing Blois felt so comforting, as if, though the world had no cure for regret, Blois appeared as the antidote to his current torment.
With a hum, Armando interrupted Marwan, who, noticing the Crown Prince's reaction after listening to his plan for so long, was overjoyed, thinking the Crown Prince wanted to discuss it further.
