Edgar drank his tea and ate the snacks provided just to be polite. They didn't talk much after that. Once he was done, the man decided to take his leave.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality. I really need to go back to my country," Edgar rose from his seat and bowed down to Maxim. Then he turned to Emlyn, showing a really sad face. "Your Grace...? please take care of yourself. I really hope we can see each other again."
Emlyn smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Lord Edgar. Please be careful on the road. May the road you travel is smooth and the sun keeps shining on your back."
Edgar felt touched and he nodded back. He couldn't really say anything now. Emlyn was adamant about not wanting to go back to Draec with him. He couldn't force her.
"Thank you." Finally, that was all he could utter. The man sighed and turned around to leave the lounge. Horatio showed him the way out and took him to et his n who were waiting outside the main palace.
"Ohh.. he is sooo handso," Kira gushed. "Why did he have to leave so soon?"
She looked sad when she realized there wouldn't be any more opportunities to et Edgar and get to know him further. Kira wanted to protest since Emlyn promised to introduce Edgar to her, but the man barely looked at her.
However, when she rembered how Emlyn saved her life from Raphael, Kira could only swallow her disappointnt and sighed.
"Actually, Edgar is heading ho," Emlyn explained. "I asked him to do sothing important to . Maybe if you asked him to travel together, he would be willing to take you."
Emlyn only said those words to coax Kira. She also felt bad about baiting Kira with Edgar to keep her company to Sumria but the man ended up leaving so soon.
She actually didn't think Edgar was interested in Kira, but who knows, if they spent more ti together, perhaps... feelings could grow between them.
One could hope, right?
"Nah... I am fine," Kira brushed it off. "I went exploring a little bit yesterday with Lysander. This city is huge and very interesting. I am very happy that we ca here. There are so many things to see and do. In fact, I will go visit that library you once told ."
"Oh.. the Archelius Library?" Emlyn asked. She had heard a lot about the library. It was said to be the biggest library in the world with the most complete collection of books and historical artifacts.
Two years ago, she also wished that soday she was able to visit Castilse to see the library. Now that she was here, she didn't even rember about it, but Kira did.
"Yes. You said that place is amazing. So, I will visit the place later."
"Oh...? how nice!"
Maxim noticed how much Emlyn was interested in the library, so he offered to take her there. "Do you want to go to Archelius? It's not far from here."
He was happy to know Emlyn loved reading. She was smart and educated. Archelius Library was one of his favorite places to visit when he was younger. It's just that now he was the king, he didn't have much spare ti to go there.
"Oh.. do we have ti?" Emlyn asked.
"Of course we have ti," Maxim replied. "We have just arrived here. Do you want to continue going to Myreen imdiately?"
"Well, I...." Emlyn looked around her and realized Maxim was right. They were no longer in a hurry. She just wanted to reach Castilse as soon as possible to et Edgar and send him back to Draec.
Now that the mission was accomplished, shouldn't she be kind to herself and took a well-deserved rest?
"Edgar said Myreen is one month away from here," Emlyn bit her lip. She, too,? wanted rest, but she rembered that she still had a long journey to take to get to Myreen and confronted the Leoraleis.
"We can take Aslain to get there faster," Maxim replied. He hoped this ti Emlyn wouldn't say no. It would be nice to travel with her on a back of a dragon, just the two of them.
"Well..." Emlyn started to look conflicting. She liked the idea of taking a well-deserved break, seeing around, and enjoyed the culture and arts in Sumria. Of course, visiting Archelius Library would be like getting one of her dreams to co true. "Maybe you are right."
"Very well, we can visit the library after lunch, if you want it."
"Sounds good."
Emlyn was wondering why Maxim had not talked about taking Emlyn to see his mother. Was his mother sick?
"Uh, by the way. When can I see your mother?" She decided to ask Maxim. "I an... we ca here because you said your mother was staying in Myreen once. So, she could help to give clues about Myreen."
"We will see her at lunchti, don't worry," Maxim replied. "After we see her, we will go to Archelius."
"Ah, okay." Emlyn felt excited again. She and Kira finished their tea and decided to go back to their chambers and rest for a bit. Emlyn felt exhausted after a long journey. She was physically and ntally exhausted and thought a good rest was needed to bring her energy back.
eting Maxim's mother was very important. She didn't want to give the wrong impression. So, she must rest well and present herself to be likable, so Maxim's mother would be willing to help her.
"See you at lunch ti," Maxim said to Emlyn when the girl asked to go back to her chamber. "Horatio will co and get you."
"Oh, there's no need for that," Emlyn said. "I know where the dining room is now."
"We are not going to have lunch in my private residence. We will et my mother in her residence." Maxim pointed to the beautiful building across the garden. "My mother lives there."
"Ah, I see. I will wait for Horatio to co and get then," Emlyn replied.
"See you soon."
After Emlyn and Kira left, Maxim turned to see his mother's palace. He hoped the lunch would be a good ti to introduce Emlyn and his mother and the queen dowager could see how good Emlyn was.
