Early in the morning…
"Hmmm… They should still be at the inn," Robert murmured with a faint smile.
He rose from his seat and left the manor, followed by several soldiers.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the inn where the three of them were staying.
"Welcome, Mayor," the innkeeper greeted him politely.
Robert nodded and asked, "Are Her Highness Princess Seira, Her Highness Princess Eira, and Young Lady Rafine in their rooms?"
"Yes, Mayor. I'll take you to them."
Robert raised a hand.
"No need. I can go on my own."
Without another word, he headed to the second floor with three soldiers following behind him.
They stopped in front of room twenty-five. It was Seira's room.
Knock!
"Your Highness, it's me, Robert. Are you awake yet?"
He waited quietly. A few seconds passed, but no response came from inside.
Robert raised an eyebrow and muttered, "The princess is quite the lazybones."
