Outside—
"...." Glatheon shifted his gaze back and forth between Robin and Renara, carefully observing both of them without daring to interrupt either one, not knowing what is happening right now.
Renara was already seated in an extremely vulnerable state. At that moment, even an ordinary mortal could have harmed her with ease if they somehow managed to reach her.
What was strange, however, was that only a few minutes earlier, His Majesty had told them to wait for a moment, then closed his eyes and entered a state resembling deep meditation. It was obvious that his primary consciousness was no longer present with them, as though his mind had traveled somewhere far beyond the cave while only his body remained behind...
"Heh~" Glatheon let out a sigh. "I feel a certain sense of honor and prestige knowing that His Majesty entered a state like this while I'm standing beside him."
Entering a state of profound meditation while there's even a cat nearby could be dangerous.
