At Averion Palace: Twenty Days Later…
King Solomon summoned General Alaric, Princess Eve, and the members of the Assassination Team. Today they would set out for their journey to Kingdom Zephyra.
King Solomon wanted to see them one last time before sending them off. Alaric and the seven knights were kneeling while Princess Eve stood before him.
King Solomon approached Eve first, holding her shoulders.
"Princess… my daughter, I wish you well. This is the first time you will leave Kingdom Averion. Please be safe. Once you return, I'll tell you everything. Do you understand?" King Solomon was referring to her mother's death.
Eve nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, Father. Everyone here… will return home." She reassured him. She believed in the capability of Alaric's team. And she would support them.
King Solomon hugged his daughter tightly. He was reluctant to let her go. But Eve and Alaric already made up their minds. He wanted to respect their decisions.
