Aureus Awake
Drayce could understand Slayer's feelings well. After all, wasn't he also guilty of the same thing? Though he looked fine on the surface, he was feeling quite angry that he allowed Seren to be hurt in the first place. Worse, he wasn't there when she truly needed him.
"I will be heading to check the forest in person tonight. You can accompany me."
Slayer could not be more grateful than this and nodded immediately.
"That man who claims to have saved Her Majesty, is he awake?" Slayer asked.
"Not yet. He is severely injured," Drayce replied.
"Are you sure we can trust him?" Jasper asked. "I need his description to verify his identity. May I go see him?"
Drayce didn't even have to think about his response. "No need to investigate. We can trust him. He is someone my mother trusted as well and Lady Tyra can vouch for his identity."
