The Kingdom's guest (2)

Orion handed the other clothes to the servants to store in his room. Then, he trailed behind Elysia as she guided him to the throne room.

Having walked through various corridors and turns, they finally arrived at the entrance of the throne room, a place etched in Orion's memory from his first arrival with Princess Crystalia and Flintor.

Elysia, her back turned to him, suddenly asked, "Are you ready?" Her tone, surprisingly, held a touch of concern, though Orion could only see her posture.

Orion however, couldn't help but say, "Are you worried about me?" with a small smile on his face.

Elysia quickly turned her head, her gaze piercing him with an icy glare. "I'm only making sure you behave properly. So, please, do your best to behave," she retorted with a stern expression.

"Don't worry, I never planned on doing anything stupid," Orion replied, pondering what it would take to soften the stern and commanding woman before him.
