The Fourth Time

Commander Nicklaus Elan was having dinner at his mansion. After spending several days in the camp, he only went home in the evening as he will be leaving for Thigon early the next morning. Miguel arrived a day ago and he will be following him in his journey like always.

"I heard that you will be leaving tomorrow morning." Kiara who was sitting on his right said to him. "Where will you be going?"

"I can't tell you that," the Commander replied and added, "It's confidential."

Kiara simply nodded and continued eating the dishes.

Nicklaus Elan stared at her for a while and asked, "What work did you mostly do?"

"Nothing much," she replied. "There isn't much work to do in your quarters." With a hint of confusion on her face, she asked, "Why are you asking me that?"

"I'm just curious."
