CLOP CLOP CLOP CLOP

Steps and strides echoed throughout the corridors, accompanied by the fluttering of clothes and the flapping of thick garments as the winds wafted throughout the Royal Castle, carrying the scent of flowers and stone bricks along with them.

It was a bright sunny day, two pairs of pretty and curious eyes lingering all throughout the place, monotonous silence ringing in their ears. Two figures were led by another in a massive maze of bricky walls and heavy pillars.

"Dear Guests, we have arrived. This is the room His Majesty has provided you,"

"Ah, yeah... Thanks for guiding us." [Grey]

"It was my pleasure. Then, I will be taking my leave now. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ring the bell. Have a good day."

The maid soon left the two to their own devices, still curious about the castle and still puzzled on what else they should be doing. They soon opened up the doors to their room, and headed inside the guest room prepared for them.

It was grand and massive, as to be expected of the Royal Castle. There were all sorts of luxurious furniture and items all over the place, laid out masterfully to show off both variation and harmony, a sense of flow present in the room.

Even amongst the guest rooms Grey and Yuna had been to before, maybe because of the different culture in Aldengard, it was the most unique thus far, both in sense of architecture and arts, the people placing great emphasis on floral motifs and complex geometric patterns across the boards.

"Ohh~. This looks totally different from the guest rooms in Alfrione Royal Castle. It feels... kind of... erm... complex...?" [Yuna]

"Hahaha. Well, we're still in Vartes, after all. And is it just me or... Aren't they too over the top with their treatment for us here?" [Grey]

"Mmn... I also think that... Un..." [Yuna]

It seems like hospitality was also placed on much greater importance in Aldengard than the other places. It was not that the previous castles were horrible, but rather, the current one was simply too grand... Everything in the room cost a huge sum.

There wasn't just one room as well. It was like they were in a small house complete with baths, comfort rooms, balconies, walk-in closets, and little compartments which would only make their stay better. It was like a totally luxurious hotel.

Now that they're here, they feel a little bad for the Sugar Pie. It hasn't even been 2 days since they've stayed there yet here they are, already enjoying another stay in another place. They already told them beforehand, but they still feel guilty.

"Mmn... The bed is very fluffy too. I feel like I'll sink in fluffiness." [Yuna]

"Please don'tー No, actually, I guess now would be the perfect time for that. We'll be busy sooner or later, after all. We might as well enjoy ourselves today." [Grey]

"Hm? I can just laze around today?" [Yuna]

"Yeah. Enjoy yourself, Yuna." [Grey]

It hasn't been long since Grey and Yuna finished their meeting with the King, and now, all they have to do is wait for a reply to come. Though, as it stands, it might not even take them that long, considering the urgency of the situation.

Still, that leaves them with a lot of free time in their hands that they have no idea what to do with. They could just simply laze around as they originally planned, but even with the young lady now in bed, she can't seem to clear her mind and relax herself.
