After seeing Lis and Cecil return to the station on time, Elder Ricardo breathed a sigh of relief.
He arranged for someone to take Lis and his companion to their room to rest, and Elder Ricardo returned to his own room as well.
After a long journey like the one he had endured, even he was feeling fatigued.
Of course, it was mostly because he had spent more energy being vigilant against dangers along the way.
Once back in his room, Elder Ricardo gently closed the door and saw a figure sitting beside the window.
Elder Ricardo didn't show any surprise but instead bowed slightly and respectfully said,
"Lord Alvis, may the brilliance of the World Tree shine upon you!"
"May I know if you have any instructions?"
Elder Ricardo was respectful, although he was an elder of the Illiser family, the person standing before him was a powerful Legendary Crown.
