Once the meeting was concluded, Kara was left alone with Ralyks—considering how they would be working together from that moment on.
The Dark Adventurer transported both of them away to a location unknown to anyone else, most likely to kickstart their investigation.
The two had somewhat exchanged brief pleasantries during the entire meeting, but now that it was over, it was all business.
… Or so the Royal Council members thought.

"You did a good job playing along, Kara. You have nice acting skills."
Rey was currently opposite Kara, standing right outside the Safehouse where she and the other key players were occupying before the promised day.
She smiled, probably blushing a little, as she curtsied and bowed her head slightly.
"I appreciate your compliments, Sir Ralyks."
Rey felt very weird having a really pretty girl like Kara address him in such a way, but he had come too far to break character now.
