"Your Majesty Leon, are you ready?"
Upon hearing Lyra's voice, Leon was momentarily taken aback but soon smiled as he turned his gaze toward the door.
"I'm ready, Lyra. Just give me a moment," Leon said softly, his voice carrying just a bit.
"Yes, Your Majesty Leon," Lyra replied with a respectful yet casual tone from behind the door.
Leon smiled and then looked at Fiona, Iris, Charlotte, and Stella.
"Alright, girls, I'll go with Lyra to handle some matters in the outer palace. I'll be back as soon as I can, so please wait for me," Leon said, affectionately rubbing each of their faces.
Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, and Stella nodded with smiles and replied in unison, "Alright! We'll wait for you to come back!"
Smiling in satisfaction, Leon downed his coffee in one gulp and enjoyed the biscuits Stella had prepared. He then slowly rose to his feet, his gaze fixed on Stella and Charlotte.
