When David saw Evan, he smiled wryly and shook his head as he spoke.
[Why am I not surprised?]
"At this stage, it'd take a lot more than just this to surprise you."
[Indeed, it will.]
David sighed before glancing around and continuing.
[Profound greetings to the Alpha Continent's Leaders. I hope my fellow Hero isn't giving you a hard time?]
"What's that supposed to mean?"
[I was just expressing my concern for their wellbeing, Evan. Nothing more.]
Seeing as the two of them spoke with such familiarity, the World leaders present began restabilising their evaluations of Evan.
Evan saw the gazes that were assessing him and ignored them, turning towards Rudeus who spoke up before he could even say a word.
[I already sent for her.]
The boy was grateful that the Emperor understood his intentions without him needing to voice them.
