Mirelle wanted to signal to Claudia to stop her action, lest they might become surrounded.
However, she became astonished when the guards actually softened and swiftly apologized for their demeanor.
"Pardon our behavior! Lately, things haven't been going well on the surface level, so we needed to remain vigilant." The guard placed a hand on their chest and bowed slightly.
"Hmph, that's much better!" Claudia raised her chin and placed her hands on her hips. "Our Lady also had to deal with the Crown Prince's antics and finally got time to come here to enjoy."
The guard nodded, not finding the reason to be out of the norm.
There had been many nobles coming back lately after the sweeping purge.
Those who survived all needed a refreshment in their mentality.
And what better refreshment was there aside from the underground slum?
Still, the guards were instructed to be vigilant in case of the possibility that the Crown Prince's people had arrived.
