The King had lectured Aldrich for about a full ten minutes now.
In the end, with the conclusion that Aldrich would pay extra attention to keep an eye out on the Mages Freemasonry, the King waved his hand as an indication for Aldrich to leave. After a list of issues arose following the attack, it seemed to have tied a knot for this preliminary round. He did not go after the Mages Freemasonry for more responsibilities because after all, he did arrest the criminals, which counts as fixing the hole he made.
As for Benjamin, he left after the lecture and went back to the guest room in the Palace.
However, the King hadn’t said a word to him after the Princess had been brought back; that was why he couldn’t see through the King’s thoughts. Did the King believe Aldrich? Or was he putting up at act because he didn’t want to reveal too much?
