Impressed And Awed

Damien was a bit taken aback but wasn't surprised since he knew how important Maria was to Arthur.

Still, now he had one more card by having the favor of the crown prince and accepted the golden token from him, seeing how sincere he was with his words.

He had no doubt that even if he asked Arthur to go on a life-risking mission, he would do it.

"I will keep it in mind," Damien said as he put the token in his soul space.

"Lina, please escort senior Azrael outside," Arthur said as he saw that he was about to leave.

Damien waved his hand, "No need. It would be alright if I take a walk on my own on my way out, right?"

Arthur was a bit surprised, but he readily nodded, "If that's what senior wishes, then I can't stop you. Please go ahead."

Damien left, and soon after, Arthur was again sitting beside his mother, still feeling a bit anxious about her condition. He could only hope she woke up as soon as possible.
