A Formidable Ally

Ten minutes later, Link and Annie reached the River Cove Inn.

Because Annie was a royal Princess, they couldn't stay in the hall, as it might attract too much attention. So, they gathered on the second floor in the private sitting room of the inn's best suite. Apart from Link and Annie, the knight who had asked for Link's name earlier was there too. His name was Anderson.

In the meantime, Jacker and Gildern remained in the hall downstairs, awaiting the message from the Syndicate.

"Why did you leave before even saying goodbye earlier?" asked Annie.

Annie was clad in a light azure leather armor. She stared fixedly at Link, anticipating his reply. Her deep blue eyes were tinged with signs of anger.
