Beginning of the End

Nate and I headed for the larger tent in the area. He told me that it was where all the royals are supposed to gather for the briefing.

Nate opened the tent for me go to inside, but before I could even enter, I heard two familiar voices behind me. “I almost cried. You look so much more independent compared to the last time that we saw you. I just hope that you really are what you look like from the outside.”

It was Custard who first reacted. He lets out a howl and ran behind me. ‘Master Ren!’

I turned just in time to see Ren picking Custard up on the ground as Custard showered him with adoring kisses. The twins were humbly wearing plain shirts like what we usually wore in training. And judging by the looks on their faces, I can only guess that they were doing a bit of training before they came here.
