Ben nodded in understanding, then took both letters from Reynald. He bowed slightly. "You have nothing to worry about. I will make sure everything proceeds smoothly and exactly as you wish," Ben replied, his tone firm yet respectful.
Reynald stared at him for a moment, as if confirming that Ben truly grasped how important these instructions were. "And also... I do not want anyone, especially the imperial court, to know about the letter for Sir Cedric."
The air in the room grew noticeably tighter. Ben raised an eyebrow, fully aware of how serious those words were.
"Understood, my lord. I will keep it strictly confidential," Ben answered calmly. He carefully stored the letters away, ready to carry out his task.
Reynald gave a short nod, his gaze turning sharp again as he looked ahead. His fingers tapped slowly against the wooden desk before him. He noticed Ben was still standing there, seemingly hesitant to speak further.
