After meeting the king, Alaric summoned the members of the 5th Battalion Army in Stormholt Manor. He planned to discuss with them the mission. He would consult them whether they were willing to join him or not.
"You can take a rest first. I have a meeting with my knights," Alaric said, escorting Eve to their bedroom.
"Oh, I'm fine. I want to cook dinner for everyone. Your knights are coming here." Eve stopped on her track.
"I'll ask Marie and Claire to help me in the kitchen!" she added.
Alaric held her shoulders, observing her.
'She was unusually quiet when we left the palace. I wonder if King Solomon had said something to upset her and make her sad.' Alaric marveled to himself.
"Aren't you tired from the journey?" He asked her worriedly.
Eve masked her emotions with a smile. "No. Not tired at all. I want to cook food for your knights."
