"Your Majesty, Sir Lucio is here."
"Ah, send them in."
I could hear their talks from outside the door. Just by the looks of it, I could say that this place was meant to be the VVIP suite. We were quite lucky to have the chance to be here. The flow of things indicated that we would end up staying here until the 'announcement'. I mean, that was how things usually turn out, right?
"Please enter." The knight came out of the door and made way for us to enter and we did as we were told.
"Lucio and Rei! My friends!" The King got up from his seat rushed towards my (Sou's) father and uncle Lucio and embraced them tightly like an old friend.
This man… was the King?
Well, that was unexpected. I knew that the King was charismatic and didn't care about formalities among his close ones and even liked to be called by his name by them. But seeing it up close is something else. I was having a hard time hiding my astonished face.
