Orders For The Knight

After Arlan bid farewell to his departing guests, he returned inside the manor to find Oriana waiting for him in the foyer, her demeanor suggesting urgency.

"Waiting for me?" Arlan inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Oriana nodded, her expression determined. "I want to go back to the palace."

Arlan immediately grasped her intention; she sought to return to her grandfather, likely to administer the pill she had concocted to treat the ailing old man.

Turning to the knight who had accompanied him, Arlan issued his instructions. "Rafal, take her wherever she wants to go. Follow her orders and attend to her needs."

"Yes, Your Highness," Rafal replied, acknowledging the command.

With a glance back at Oriana, Arlan conveyed his trust in Rafal. "I have work to do. You can inform Rafal of anything you require. He is at your service."
