At Stewart Manor, Kingdom of Ebodia

Taro was having second thoughts as he made his way to the dining room. He had Krisha by his side, sure, but this was her family after all. And somehow, just the thought of facing them made him feel fear in ways that not even his countless years of serving his king could ever do.

"I'm fine," Taro quickly responded, making sure to keep his anxieties bottled up.
