Rory had originally planned to go find Xarion first. But as she passed by Vincent's palace, she happened to see his assistant stepping out from within.
"Is Vincent still busy?" Rory asked.
The assistant immediately replied, "His Highness has just finished."
Hearing that Vincent was done, Rory didn't hesitate—she went straight into his palace.
"Rory, you've come at the perfect time."
The moment he saw her, Vincent smiled and walked over.
"I've just finished my work. Wherever you'd like to go, I'll accompany you."
"No rush." Rory turned first, gently closing the palace doors behind her.
At the sight of her shutting the door, a flicker of confusion crossed Vincent's eyes—but even more so, anticipation.
He assumed she had something… intimate she wanted to say.
As Rory secured the door and approached him with a soft, tender smile, Vincent naturally opened his arms, ready to pull her into an embrace.
