'The Way is To Release'

"Pardon? You want me to..." He trailed off before quickly correcting himself. He could not afford to sound uncertain in the presence of the prince.

'It seems he doesn't want to leave Florian's side.'

Heinz's sharp gaze flickered toward Lancelot, noting how the knight barely concealed his reluctance. The moment Heinz had entered the infirmary, he had pulled Lancelot aside. There was no need for him to linger.

"Assist Lucius in searching for the servant responsible. Ensure the guests remain calm and do not panic. If I do not return, find a way to make them leave, even without my presence. And make sure the princesses are safe."

Lancelot looked like he wanted to protest.

"But Your Majesty, why would—"

"Do I have to repeat myself, Lancelot?" Heinz asked, arms crossing over his chest.

Lancelot bowed his head immediately.
