Asher was walking calmly with Rachael still on his shoulders. He had already taken a glass of wine, while Rachael drank juice through a straw.
Rachael's maid simply followed half a step behind them without a word, her eyes scanning everyone. She hadn't expected someone to make a move against Rachael, and she had been tasked with protecting her, a duty in which she had failed because she hadn't reacted in time. She could only thank the stars that Rachael had been with a Wargrave.
So, because of this, she simply became even more vigilant.
Ahead, Asher's gaze fell on a particular chubby person, Finch, who was walking towards them with a calm expression.
"Big Brother!" Rachael immediately called out as she jumped from Asher's shoulders, landed lightly on her feet, then ran over and hugged Finch with a big smile.
"You little rascal, you didn't even look for me when you came to the Thalvorn Empire. Instead, you went to Asher," Finch spoke in a mock-angry tone as he lifted her up.
