"Since the important matters have already been discussed, we'll take our leave now," Rima said.
"Auntie, where are you going? Don't leave me." Shany's face turned pitiful, unwilling to be left behind.
"You still have work to do. We just don't want to disturb you," Rima replied.
"No, I don't have any work," Shany answered with a bitter smile.
Suddenly…
Ahem!
A soft clearing of throats came from Brudack and Izzat.
"Don't worry. We'll come back when dinner time arrives," Rima added.
"Really?!" Shany exclaimed.
Rima and I nodded.
"YAY! Then let's have a pajama party later!" Shany said excitedly.
Seeing this, Brudack and Izzat could only shake their heads. After reaching an agreement, Rima and I left the room. At the palace entrance, we ran into Clive.
"Clive! You just arrived?" I greeted.
"Miss Luna! Miss Rima! Ah, no." Clive leaned forward slightly. "Where are you two heading?"
"We're going to stroll around the capital while waiting for nightfall. What about you?"
