"While Athena Hellness is staying at the palace, you must remain in your rooms and not leave."
As soon as they heard Leon's words, the four of them were shocked, disbelief evident in their eyes.
"Not allowed to leave the room?" Fiona exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.
Leon nodded slightly, folding his arms across his chest as he gently explained, "Yes, for an important reason that I can't disclose, the four of you must stay in the room while Athena Hellness is here."
Fiona's surprise quickly turned into a pout. She crossed her chubby arms over her chest, her small lips pursing slightly.
"Daddy, you promised to play with me all day today, and I don't want it to be canceled," Fiona said, her voice a mix of anger and sadness.
Yesterday, when her daddy went to settle an important matter with Lyra in the outer palace, he promised her and her three sisters that he would bring them gifts.
