In front of Walford's Palace, the carriage halted. Evelyn got out of the carriage and turned to face Elric.
"You can freshen up here, and then we can go to the council building together for reporting," she said.
Elric paused for a time before nodding his agreement to her. He stepped out of the carriage and grabbed his trunk. A servant came to take their trunks shortly after they entered the hall.
"Escort sir to the guest room," she said and turned towards Elric. "Please let him or me know if you require anything," she continued, smiling.
She strolled towards her room to freshen up quickly and meet her father before leaving back to the council. Walking back down the stairs, after getting ready, she saw her father and Elric speaking. Her face lit up as she watched them interact and enjoy each other's company.
As she walked closer, she realised they were discussing something serious. She quickly sprinted towards them.
