"Liliana, it's me. May I come in?"
Liliana was slightly startled by Leon's voice, but the surprise quickly faded, replaced by a soft smile.
Facing the door, Liliana gave a small nod and replied gently, "Come in, Leon. It's unlocked."
*Clack!*
The door to her workspace opened, and Leon stepped in, his tall figure framed by a white, elegant robe.
Lyra, who had been standing in front of Liliana's desk, immediately bowed her head in respect upon seeing him.
"Good morning, Your Majesty Leon," she greeted, her tone formal yet calm.
Leon, noticing Lyra's presence, was momentarily surprised but quickly set it aside. With a gentle smile he approached Liliana.
"Good morning to you too, Lyra," Leon replied casually, then added with a playful tone, "It's unusual to see you in Liliana's workspace at this hour. Were you two discussing something?"
